[A case of Bacillus cereus prosthetic valve endocarditis].

A rare case of prosthetic valve endocarditis by Bacillus cereus was reported. The patient was 43-year-old Japanese man, who had mitral valve replacement 5 months prior to this admission. Remitral valve replacement was immediately done successfully. His postoperative course was uneventful for 8 months.

Bacillus cereus food poisoning associated with fried rice at two child day care centers--Virginia, 1993.

Bacillus cereus, an infectious cause of foodborne illness, accounted for 2% of outbreaks with confirmed etiology that were reported to CDC during 1973-1987 (1). On July 21, 1993, the Lord Fairfax (Virginia) Health District received reports of acute gastrointestinal illness that occurred among children and staff at two jointly owned child day care centers following a catered lunch. This report summarizes the investigation of this outbreak.

[Microflora of spiruline preparations].

A study, by direct microscopic examination and cultures, shows that the microflore which accompanies the spirulines preparations, varies as the origin and the technologie treatment quality. The main species are bacillacees; then, come faecal streptococcus which are the best contaminations indicators; enterobacteries, yeasts, moulds spores, are exceptional. Dry products as getting old, entail a great decrease of all the species, the anaerobies being more resistant.

Tyzzer's disease in a neonatal cockatiel.

A 4-day-old cockatiel that died suddenly had a pale, mottled liver at necropsy. Extensive necrosis and numerous bacilli were present microscopically in the liver. The organism was identified as Bacillus piliformis, the causative agent of Tyzzer's disease, by special staining and electron microscopy. This is the first report of Tyzzer's disease in an avian species.

[Two cases of acute myelogenous leukemia with Bacillus cereus bacteremia resulting in fatal intracranial hemorrhage].

This manuscript reports Bacillus cereus sepsis in two cases with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) who suffered complications of fatal intracranial hemorrhage during remission induction therapy. The first case was 43-year-old male with AML (M0) receiving first consolidation chemotherapy who developed sudden diarrhea, abdominal pain and spiking fever. Two days later, he died of intracranial hemorrhage. The second case was 15-year-old male with AML (M5b) who was receiving first induction chemotherapy. He developed headache and vomiting following spiking fever and diarrhea. He died of subarachnoid hemorrhage the next day. In both cases, Bacillus cereus was isolated from blood culture. Fatal intracranial hemorrhage due to severe bleeding tendency caused rapid to death in both cases. These bleeding tendencies might have been induced by B. cereus sepsis. In addition, we should not overlook B. cereus as contamination, but rather consider it as a potential pathogen, when isolated from blood culture.

[Infection with Bacillus piliformis (Tyzzer's disease) in foals].

Tyzzer's disease, caused by Bacillus piliformis and characterized by a multifocal, necrotizing hepatitis was diagnosed in a 25 days old, male, German warmblood foal. The animal was submitted to the clinic of horses because of colic symptoms and a severe depression. Upon arrival it was comatose, recumbent and showed opisthotonos. Due to a severe, metabolic acidosis and a rapid progression of the disease, the foal was euthanatized. In immediately formalin-fixed tissue samples Bacillus piliformis was detected in the cytoplasma of hepatocytes by different histological techniques (Giemsa stain, silver impregnation technique by Warthin-Starry, immunohistology). This case is discussed within a literature review.

[Effect of premortal stress on the endogenous microbial contamination of broiler carcasses].

A study was undertaken to determine the interrelation between premortal stress and endogenic contamination. In 370 broilers the influence of transport, of a 48-h rest period and of an additional heat stress on the bacterial translocation was investigated. Even the normal transportation caused a contamination rate of nearly 50 per cent. 10 per cent of the transported animals suffered from a bacteriaemia induced by stress. The control group showed a significantly lower contamination rate. The rest time reduced the frequency of contamination. Heat stress did not have an influence on the contamination rate. The conclusion is that stress is aggravating the microbial risk for the consumer of poultry meat. Further research is necessary for characterizing the process of endogenic contamination.

Outbreaks of postoperative bacterial endophthalmitis caused by intrinsically contaminated ophthalmic solutions--Thailand, 1992, and Canada, 1993.

Endophthalmitis is the syndrome of inflammation or infection of the ocular cavity and its adjacent structures and can result in severe sequelae, such as visual loss. Although most postoperative endophthalmitis following intraocular surgery is caused by infection with normal skin flora, cases associated with the intraoperative use of contaminated eye solutions or materials have been reported. This report summarizes outbreaks of postoperative bacterial (Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Bacillus spp.) endophthalmitis in Thailand and Canada; the outbreaks were associated with the intraoperative use of intrinsically contaminated basal salt solution (BSS) and hyaluronic acid.
