| sensitivity, precision, and accuracy of the y1 adrenal cell enterotoxin assay. | the y1 adrenal cell assay for heat-labile enterotoxin (lt) was found to be relatively insensitive for filtrates of toxigenic escherichia coli h10407. when observations were made blindly and subjected to rigorous controls, reliable detection of lt occured only at filtrate dilutions from 1:4 to 1:10. detection of lt was unreliable when e. coli h10407 was mixed with another enteric organism. overall, 7.1% of observers' reports from a single assay were imprecise, and 2.6% would have resulted in erro ... | 1979 | 372224 |
| reproducibility of an indirect immunofluorescent-antibody technique for capsular serotyping of klebsiella pneumoniae. | reproducibility of capsular serotypes of 55 consecutive clinical isolates of klebsiella pneumoniae was evaluated by an indirect immunofluorescent-antibody technique previously described by riser et al. (j. clin. pathol. 29: 296-304, 1976) five colonies per specimen were examined for colony-to-colony variation, day-to-day variation, and reader-to-reader variation. seventy-two reference strains were tested with each of 18 pools and 72 specific antisera prior to the clinical specimens to determine ... | 1979 | 372225 |
| the development and assessment of a bacteriocin typing method for klebsiella. | klebsiellas are generally typed by the method of capsular serotyping but, although this is a reliable method, it is time consuming, requires the production of a large number of antisera and is not generally available. for this reason another method for typing klebsiellas was sought. a bacteriocin typing method involving mitomycin c induction was developed and the cultural conditions giving optimum klebecin production and the best methods of testing the sensitivity of the organisms to klebecins w ... | 1979 | 372440 |
| the variable response of bacteria to excess ferric iron in host tissues. | the enhancement by exogenous ferric iron, both systemic and local, of the infectivity of 120 strains of bacteria, representing 17 genera, was measured in the skin of guinea-pigs. systemic iron enhanced only 23% of 115 strains, and local iron 49% of 71 strains. systemic iron, by an apparently anti-inflammatory action, depressed the size of lesions produced by 27 of the non-enhanced strains from nine of the genera tested. for most strains, the degree of enhancement was small, ranging from 2- to 8- ... | 1979 | 372534 |

(1978) biochemistry 17, 2218] of the mechanism of inactivation of adenosylcobalamin-dependent diol dehydratase have led to the development of a general method to describe the kinetics of a reaction pathway containing a reservoir of mobile hydrogen. analysis by this method of catalytic rate measurements for mixtures of 1,2-propanediol and 1,1-dideuterio-1,2-propanediol supports a mechanism involving an intermediate with three equivalent hydrogens, in which hydro ... | 1979 | 383139 |
| resolution of the coenzyme b-12-dependent dehydratases of klebsiella sp. and citrobacter freundii. | diol dehydratase (1,2-propanediol hydro-lyase, ec 4.2.1.28) and glycerol dehydratase (glycerol hydro-lyase, ec 4.2.1.30) are shown to be distinct, separable enzymes that occur individually or together in different strains of klebsiella sp. anaerobic growth with propan-1,2-diol induces diol dehydratase alone, whereas glycerol fermentation induces both enzymes in k. pneumoniae atcc 25955 and in citrobacter freundii ncib 3735. the dehydratases can be resolved by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis o ... | 1979 | 383154 |
| bacterial infection in relation to pain and irregular bleeding in women using iud. | pain and metrorrhagia in women using iuds are often the reason for removing the iud. in 54 women where the iud was removed, uterine fluid for bacteriologic cultures was taken from the removed iud. there was a correlation between positive cultures and symptoms of pain and metrorrhagia. spotty bleeding caused by microtraumata and increased fibrinolytic activity of the iud might thus consitute a substrate for bacterial invasion resulting in endometritis and in turn increased bleeding and pain. in 1 ... | 1979 | 383399 |
| combined action of sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim against clinically-isolated sulphonamide-resistant bacteria. | 42 strains of gram-negative bacteria, isolated from clinical material, resistant to trimethoprim (tm), sulphamethoxazole (smz) or both, have been tested for synergistic sensitivity to tm + smz. the combination showed no synergy against strains 'highly resistant' to smz (mic greater than 1 mg/ml). indifference was invariably observed. however, synergy was seen with strains 'moderately resistant' to smz (mic 100--1,000 microgram/ml). our results indicate that present techniques for the testing of ... | 1979 | 383418 |
