| isolation of salmonellas and shigella sonnei from a laboratory bench. | an area of the laboratory bench on which slide agglutinations were performed in the diagnosis of salmonella and shigella infection was examined for these organisms. impression plates and broth-moistened swabs were used for sampling. both techniques gave satisfactory results, but the contact plates provided positive results a day earlier than the swabs. suitable precautions to minimize contamination of the bench surface are discussed. | 1976 | 778256 |
| shigella flexneri 6 biotypes: a review. | except in gas production, s. flexneri 6 is generally similar to other s. flexneri. s. flexneri 6 contains both aerogenic and anaerogenic strains which are identical serologically. it is not surprising that s. flexneri 6 is not separable from other s. flexneri types on the basis of dna relatedness (overall genetic makeup) (4). the manchester biotype is seen in the united states, and is easily separable from other enterobacteriaceae by biochemical tests. one can no longer assume à priori that any ... | 1976 | 776900 |
| strain-related differences in immunosuppressive effects of enterobacteriaceae and their lipopolysaccharides on production in rabbits of antibody to enterobacterial common antigen. | certain polysaccharides have been shown to inhibit the antibody response of rabbits to the common enterobacterial antigen (ca). the present investigation revealed that striking differences exist in the immunosuppressive effects of enteric bacteria and their lipolysaccharides (lps), depending upon ca production by the strains. mixtures of immunogenic strains (escherichia coli f2378 [r4], e. coli f470 [r1], or shigella boydii f3140 [r]) and non-immunogenic ca-producing strains, such as e. coli o1, ... | 1976 | 776827 |
