“…S. mutans group bacteria (Loesche 1986;Simon-Soro and Mira 2015) and S. mitis group bacteria (Mitchell 2011;Catto et al 1987) are known pathogens of the buccal cavity. In humans, S. acidominius is a known pathogen that causes invasive diseases (Wu et al 2014) such as pneumonia (Baker and Carlson 2008;Akaike et al 1988), meningitis (Finkelstein et al 2003) and brain abscess (Cone et al 2007). Our data is consistent with the hypothesis that pathogenic Streptococcus might affect BW yet a more detailed analysis of the Streptococcus community is needed.…”

In the poultry industry, many efforts have been undertaken to further improve the growth performance of broilers and identification and modulation of body weight (BW)-related bacteria could be one of the strategies to improve productivity. However, studies regarding the relationship between microbiota and BW are scarce. The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between microbiota and BW in different sections of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). A total of twenty 18-day-old birds were selected based on the BW, and samples were collected from the three different sections of the GIT, which included the crop, ileum and cecum. Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted from the samples, and the V4 region of 16S rRNA gene were amplified. Amplicons were sequenced on Illumina MiSeq, and microbial communities were analyzed by using QIIME. In principal coordinate analysis, bacterial communities were clustered into three groups, based on the sections of GIT. Several BW-related bacterial groups were identified from linear regression analysis. At the genus level, Streptococcus from the ileum as well as Akkermansia in both ileum and cecum, were negatively related to BW, whereas Bifidobacterium in the ileum and Lactococcus in the cecum showed a positive correlation. The results from the present study showed that particular bacterial communities in the GIT were related to BW, and the study has broadened the understanding of the intestinal microbial ecosystem in broiler chickens.

“…Minotti and Kountakis [18] reported a case of petrositis with abducens nerve palsy managed successfully without surgical intervention, a 47-year-old woman successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics and tympanostomy tube placement. And Finkelstein et al [19] also reported a 12-year-old boy with Gradenigo syndrome successfully treated with intravenous antibiotics and tube placement. The patient was given intravenous ceftriaxone (2 g/day) and vancomycin (600 mg/3 per day) for 3 weeks, metronidazole (400 mg/3 per day) for 1 week, and intravenous dexamethasone (10 mg/day) for 2 days, and 2 weeks of oral amoxicillin (40 mg/kg per day) and clavulanic acid (10 mg/kg per day) for discharge medication.…”

Petrositis With Bilateral Abducens Nerve Palsies complicated by Acute Otitis Media

Petrous apicitis is a rare but fatal complication of otitis media. An infection within the middle ear can extend within the temporal bone into the air cells of the petrous apex. With only the thin dura mater separating the trigeminal ganglion and the 6th cranial nerve from the bony petrous apex, they are vulnerable to inflammatory processes, resulting in deep facial pain, lateral rectus muscle paralysis, and diplopia. In 1904, Gradenigo described a triad of symptoms related to petrous apicitis, including acute suppurative otitis media, deep facial pain resulting from trigeminal involvement, and abducens nerve palsy. It has traditionally been treated with surgery, but recent advances in imaging, with improved antibiotic treatment, allow conservative management. In this case report, we describe a clinical and neuroradiological evolution of a child with a petrous apicitis after acute otitis media, which was managed medically with a positive outcome.

“…9 S. acidominimus was also identified from a tympanostomy. 10 Only one patient had a preexisting condition (ventricular septal defect) and developed endocarditis with S. acidominimus isolated from blood cultures. Five months after discharge the ventricular septal defect was surgically closed.…”
