Two strains presented a profile toward a mild inflammatory Th1 response considering TNF-a/IL-10 and IL-1β/IL-10 cytokines ratios. The third strain EP1, presented an anti-inflammatory potential and was selected for in vivo studies. [ri.conicet.gov.ar]

Variably sized foci of malacia were present within the parenchyma of the brain stem (cerebral peduncle, optic lobe, and medulla oblongata) and the cerebral hemisphere. [bioone.org]

• Intermittent Fever

  From the second day of his admission he had intermittent fevers which persisted until 3 days before discharge. Soon after admission he developed bilateral lung consolidation, though no pathogenic organisms were cultured from his sputum. [academic.oup.com]

  In September 2014, a 74-year-old man was admitted to our institution with a 2-month history of intermittent fever, malaise, weight loss, and anorexia. [thij.org]

• Sputum

  Soon after admission he developed bilateral lung consolidation, though no pathogenic organisms were cultured from his sputum. [academic.oup.com]

• Regurgitation

  A transthoracic color-flow Doppler echocardiogram (TTE), performed through a poor acoustic window, revealed left ventricular hypertrophy and a large vegetation on the prosthetic aortic valve, with mild-to-moderate regurgitation (Fig. 1). [thij.org]

• Thrombosis

  Capillary thrombosis with congestion and hemorrhage was frequently observed within the malacia lesions. Gram-positive cocci were recognized in the blood capillary of malacia lesions. [bioone.org]

• Diastolic Murmur

  Cardiac auscultation revealed a diastolic murmur at the right sternal border. [thij.org]

• Ejection Murmur

  During physical examination, a Levine III/VI systolic ejection murmur was heard in the aortic valve area. No Osler’s nodes or Janeway lesions were observed, and blood from the dialysis puncture site was free of abnormalities. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

• Torticollis

  Fourteen chicks, 7–12 days old, that died or had neurological signs (depression, paralysis, torticollis, incoordination, and rolling) were investigated pathologically and microbiologically. [bioone.org]

• Suggestibility

  All PCR tests performed were negative for E. faecium isolate H41D, suggesting the production of a novel enterocin. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These data suggest that E. durans 6HL and Lactococcus lactis 2HL could be examined further for their useful properties and could be developed as new probiotics. © 2014 The Authors | Published by the Microbiology Society Full text loading... [doi.org]

  Detection of gram-positive cocci within the blood vessels in the malacia lesions observed in these cases may more strongly suggest the pathogenic role of E. durans on the malacia lesions in the brain stem and cerebral hemisphere. [bioone.org]

• Agalactia

  A beta-hemolytic Lancefield antigen A-, B-, C-, D-, F-, and G-positive Enterococcus durans strain was cultivated from the rectovaginal swab of a pregnant woman who underwent antenatal screening for Streptococcus agalactiae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In general, S. agalactiae -like enterococci with beta-hemolysis (e.g., Enterococcus gallinarum, Enterococcus faecalis ) may be easily recognized in pregnancy as not being GBS through Lancefield group D antigen detection ( S. agalactiae belongs to group [jcm.asm.org]

Antibiotic administration alleviated the fever, and subsequent blood culture testing showed negative results after 6 weeks of treatment. [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

After detailed discussion of his disease and prognosis, the patient made an informed decision declining further aggressive treatment in favour of primary palliation of symptoms. He died in a few days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This indicates that E. faecalis isolates expressing HLR-A stand as major etiological agents of enterococcal infections in our community. It is worth highlighting that HLR-Ge was detected in 5 isolates of E. faecium and in one of E. avium. [scielo.br]
