We isolated a Mycoplasma hominis-like mycoplasma from a stock culture of Chlamydia pneumoniae TW-183 obtained from the American Type Culture Collection and eradicated the contaminant by treating the stock suspension with a nonionic detergent, Igepal CA-630. The M. hominis-like mycoplasma neither inhibits nor enhances the infectivity of C. pneumoniae for HEp-2 cells.

ABSTRACT The in vitro susceptibilities of 170 clinical isolates plus 12 American Type Culture Collection strains of Pasteurella species comprising nine species and three Pasteurella multocida subspecies were studied by an agar dilution method. Garenoxacin (BMS-284756), a new des-fluoro(6) quinolone, was active at ≤0.06 μg/ml against all isolates, including four β-lactamase-producing strains, with >90% of the strains susceptible to ≤0.008 μg/ml. Garenoxacin was generally 1 to 2 dilutions more active than levofloxacin and moxifloxacin and was the most active agent tested. Cefoxitin required 1 μg/ml for inhibition of 51 of 182 (29%) of strains, and 3 strains (also β-lactamase producers) were resistant to doxycycline.

Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the inhibitory potential of Streptococcus salivarius isolates from the saliva and dorsum of the tongue of adults on Enterococcal faecalis American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 29212.Methods: Deferred antagonism and agar well diffusion methods were used to analyze the potential of S. salivarius to inhibit E. faecalis growth with S. salivarius ATCC 13419 as the positive control.Result: The maximum inhibitor diameter for each isolation was 11.17 mm at 1010 CFU for the dorsum of tongue isolates and 8.17 mm at 109 CFU for saliva isolates.Conclusions: Clinical S. salivarius isolates from the dorsum of tongue had greater potential for inhibiting E. faecalis growth compared to the saliva isolates and control bacteria.
