Gharbia, D Rajendram Abstract: Abstract The genus Peptostreptococcus (Kluyver & van Niel 1936) as presently constituted is phylogenetically and phenotypically incoherent; biochemical, chemical and molecular data indicate that the genus comprises a collection [idexlab.com]
The literature on solitary brainstem abscesses was reviewed and an overview of the literature between January 1984 and May 2009 is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The purpose of this report is to present the successful management of bacteremia due to P. anaerobius in an adult horse. A 19-year-old, Westphalian stallion presented with chronic cough, intermittent pyrexia, depression, and partial anorexia. [pubag.nal.usda.gov]

- Sepsis
This enzyme may be responsible for P. magnus playing a more central role in the pathogenesis of nonpuerperal breast abscess and diabetic foot disease than in intraabdominal sepsis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
They become pathogenic in association with other anaerobic bacteria, causing gangrene around surgical wounds, puerperal sepsis (infection of the lining of the womb or vagina following childbirth) and septicaemia (blood poisoning). [sciencephoto.com]
It has been recovered from specimens from periodontitis and intraoral sepsis and is one of the most common species of GPAC in infections of the abdominal cavity and the female genitourinary tract Isolation in pure culture is rare. [microbe-canvas.com]
They also cause labor endometritis and other inflammatory processes in the small pelvis, often followed by bacteremia and sepsis. [wikilectures.eu]
They are often recovered in persons with puerperal sepsis. [emedicine.medscape.com]
- Fever
Abstract Renal abscess is uncommon in pediatrics and is rarely a cause of fever of unknown origin. We recently cared for a patient who presented with a 3-week history of fever. An indium scan ultimately led to the diagnosis of a renal abscess. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
At the time the patient had fever and acute pharyngitis. She received metamizole and paracetamol. [scielo.br]

On admission, he had no fever, and neurological evaluation was within normal limits. A lateral radiograph of the lumbar spine demonstrated intervertebral disc space narrowing with indistinct end plates at the L3-L4 level. [jocr.co.in]

Five days later high fever and a major headache persisted, and were aggravated by nausea, vomiting, four days of paresthesia and weakness in the inferior left limb. [scielo.br]
Gastrointestinal

He denies dizziness, vertigo, nausea, or hearing loss. On exam, you note a tear of the tympanic membrane and a small amount of blood in the external canal. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management? A. [roshreview.com]

Skin
- Skin Disease
We examined the characteristics of Peptostreptococcus species in infectious skin diseases. P. magnus was the species identified most frequently, followed by P. asaccharolyticus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Microbiology
- Staphylococcus Aureus
The infecting organism in these patients is usually Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Peptostreptococcus species are Gram-positive anaerobic cocci and are part of the normal flora of human mucocutaneous surfaces. [tmu.pure.elsevier.com]
Combined with Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus (STAU) evoke anaerobic streptococcal myonecrosis clinically similar Clostridium myonecrosis, but with a slower course. [wikilectures.eu]
Staphylococcus aureus or Enterobacteriaceae were responsible for most infections, consistent with hematogenous and urinary tract sources, respectively. No other cases of anaerobic abscess were identified. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]
- Gram-Positive Bacteria
Caption Peptostreptococcus bacteria, computer illustration. Gram-positive bacteria. As in the case of other species of Streptococcus, these bacteria are characterized by their tendency to form chains. [sciencephoto.com]
In vitro the antibacterial substance from both feces and culture medium was active against several gram-positive bacteria, including other Peptostreptococcus spp., potentially pathogenic Clostridium spp. such as C. perfringens, C. difficile, C. butyricum [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
These findings point to starvation-survival capacity as a selection factor for microbial participation in post-treatment disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The sample size of twenty women per treatment group was based on the expectation of finding a 50% difference between the two treatment groups. [doi.org]
[…] infections have decreased in the last 30 years and will continue to do so due to better treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
Hence, pharmacotherapy for effective elimination of this potentially pathogenic microorganism can have a beneficial effect on the prognosis of root canal retreatments. [ijpsr.com]

Etiology
Abstract P. micros is thought to be an important pathogen in the etiology of certain inflammatory lesions, however, the role of this microorganism is uncertain due to the lack of rapid and reliable method to identify this species. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Vancomycin, ceftriaxone plus metronidazole should be supplied when the etiological agent is unknown and drug resistance is probable 21. [scielo.br]
The microbiology of pyogenic brain abscess has Staphylococcus and Streptococcus as the leading etiologic pathogens in immunocompetent individuals. Peptostreptococcus is also recognized as a common cause of brain abscess in this patient population. [mdpi.com]
Epidemiology
These results demonstrate the genetic diversity of P. micros and the usefulness of AP-PCR for future epidemiological studies in understanding the role P. micros plays in periodontal disease pathogenesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A new species within the genus Peptostreptococcus is Peptostreptococcus hydrogenalis; it contains the indole-positive, saccharolytic strains of the genus. [10] Pathophysiology Peptostreptococcus organisms are part of the normal florae of human mucocutaneous [emedicine.medscape.com]

A patient's recovery from anaerobic infection depends on prompt and proper treatment according to the following principles: (1) neutralizing toxins produced by anaerobes, (2) preventing local bacterial proliferation by changing the environment, and (3 [emedicine.medscape.com]
Depletion of reactive oxidative species by knockdown of TLR2 or TLR4, or incubation of cells with an antioxidant, prevented P anaerobius from inducing cholesterol biosynthesis and proliferation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The MIC is defined as the lowest concentration of the antibiotic that prevents visible growth of the microorganism in the growth medium. Metronidazole remains the empirical drug of choice for most of the anaerobic infections. [microbiologyjournal.org]
When Peptostreptococci and other anaerobes predominate, aggressive treatment of acute infection can prevent chronic infection. [en.wikipedia.org]
