Most drugs found to cause nephrotoxicity exert toxic effects by one or more common pathogenic mechanisms. These include altered intraglomerular hemodynamics, tubular cell toxicity, inflammation, crystal nephropathy, rhabdomyolysis, and thrombotic microan-giopathy.
Leclercia adecarboxylata is an opportunistic human pathogen that phenotypically resembles Escherichia coli. The natural susceptibilities of 101 Leclercia strains to 70 antimicrobial agents were investigated. MICs were determined with a microdilution procedure in cation-adjusted MuellerâHinton broth (all strains) and IsoSensitest broth (some strains).
Sarcina. a genus of anaerobic, gas-producing bacteria in the family Micrococcaceae. Sarcina-like bacteria. are observed in the abomasal wall and contents of a high proportion of milk-fed lambs, kids and calves that have died with abomasitis and abomasal bloat. genus of nonmotile, strictly anaerobic bacteria containing gram-positive cocci, which divide in three perpendicular planes, producing regular packets of eight or more cells. Saprophytic and facultatively parasitic species occur. The type species is S. ventriculi.
