Abstract

A increasing alveolar bone loss and typical root surface caries were reproduced after defined co-inoculation of germfree Wistar rats with S. mutans and A. viscosus. The gnotobiotic rats were re-conventionalized and performed a gingivectomy on the right upper jaw at the beginning of the 12 week experiment.

Identification of a new biotype of Actinomyces hyovaginalis in tissues of pigs during diagnostic bacteriological examination.

Bacterial strains isolated from a large variety of necropsy samples of pigs and previously described as a phenotypical homogeneous group were shown to belong to the species Actinomyces hyovaginalis. This was unexpected because their colonial characteristics, as well as their origins, were very different from those originally reported for the vaginal strains on which the species description of A. hyovaginalis was based. Colonial morphology, as well as fermentation of cellobiose, reactions in hippurate and nitrate and production of beta-glucuronidase, allowed separation of the strains studied here from the vaginal strains. Analysis of tRNA intergenic length polymorphisms (tDNA-PCR), 16S rRNA-gene sequencing and DNA-DNA hybridizations were carried out and led to the proposal of a separate biotype within the species A. hyovaginalis. Since, the strains were isolated from different body sites, this biotype has been designated as the 'general' biotype of A. hyovaginalis, while the strains on which the original species description was based are designated as the 'vaginal' biotype.

[IUD-associated pseudoactinomycotic gradiate granules (Spendore-Hoeppli phenomenon) in uterine curettage].

Pseudoactinomycotic radiate granules, also known as the Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon represent a response to organic and in-organic foreign substances and can be found at various locations in the body. They are frequently observed in uterine curettages, where they can be misinterpreted as actinomycotic sulfur granules. Here we report a case with Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon in an intrauterine device (IUD)-associated genital actinomycosis. The morphological features of this phenomenon are presented using special staining methods and electron microscopy and the literature is reviewed.
