TL;DR: A gram-negative pleomorphic facultative aerobic organism, indistinguishable morphologically and culturally from that isolated from suppurative epididymitis in rams, is isolated from polytenosynovitis and pyaemia in lambs, and on one occasion from mastitis in a ewe.
Abstract: Extract A gram-negative pleomorphic facultative aerobic organism, indistinguishable morphologically and culturally from that isolated from suppurative epididymitis in rams and described by Dodd & Hartley (1955), has, over the last five years, been isolated at this laboratory on more than ten occasions from polytenosynovitis and pyaemia in lambs, and on one occasion from mastitis in a ewe. It still remains to characterize and classify this organism, but Roberts has made a detailed comparison of it with his Histophilus ovis (Roberts, 1956) and considers that the two are indistinguishable (Roberts, 1958, pers. comm.).
TL;DR: The additional human health risk represented by overlooking cases of pyaemia represented by embolic pneumonia in Danish finisher pigs was considered negligible when conducting visual-only compared to traditional meat inspection.
TL;DR: The object of this paper is to review the natural history of staphylococcal pyaemia as it affects the lungs (hereafter called Staphylitis pyaemic pulmonary disease).
Abstract: In a previous study (Hay, 1960), the incidence of staphylococcal septicaemia and pyaemia at the Christchurch Hospital was shown to have risen considerably in recent years. The patients presented in a variety of ways, and frequently pulmonary signs or a chest radiograph gave the clue to the diagnosis. The object of this paper is to review the natural history of staphylococcal pyaemia as it affects the lungs (hereafter called staphylococcal pyaemic pulmonary disease).
TL;DR: A case of puerperal pyæmia the red cells of which (Group O) were agglutinated at 20° C but not at 37° C, similar to that described by Levine and Katzin2 and Gaffney and Sachs3.
Abstract: IN a recent communication in Nature, Basil-Jones, Sanger and Walsh1 described a case of puerperal pyaemia the red cells of which (Group O) were agglutinated at 20° C. but not at 37° C. by 45 out of 45 normal sera of all groups. The peculiar behaviour of these red cells appeared to be similar to that described by Levine and Katzin2 and Gaffney and Sachs3. The latter authors described their phenomenon as âpolyagglutinabilityâ of red cells.
TL;DR: Melittin, a micro-molecular polypeptide of amino acid type antibacterial / mAb with the formula of INLKAIAALAKKLL-NH2 was revealed in this paper.
Abstract: The invention discloses Melittin, a micro-molecular polypeptide of amino acid type antibacterial / mAb with the formula of INLKAIAALAKKLL-NH2. The invention can be applied for the preparation of medicaments for eradicating bacteria and treating pyaemia.
