The production of
heparinase
by a wide range of anaerobic bacteria isolated from clinical specimens was investigated. None of the 29 strains of Bacteroides fragilis produced
heparinase
. Of 62 other Bacteroides tested, only two of four strains of B ovatus, two of three strains of B thetaiotaomicron, and two of four strains of B uniformis were
heparinase
producers. None of the 48 strains of fusobacteria or seven strains of Veillonella produced
heparinase
. The anaerobic cocci (19 peptococci and seven peptostreptococci) were also negative for
heparinase
production as were 46 Clostridium spp tested. It was concluded that
heparinase
production by anaerobic bacteria was unlikely to play a part in the regional
thrombophlebitis
that sometimes occurs in anaerobic infections.
