| effect of preparatory techniques on the gross morphology of mycoplasma hominis. | a method is presented whereby cells of mycoplasma hominis can be prepared with minimal distortion for electron microscopy. after the addition of glutaraldehyde to broth cultures, incubation is continued for 1 h. the cells are then collected by centrifugation, washed in distilled water, and used for negative-contrast preparations. | 1975 | 52651 |
| changes in composition, biosynthesis, and physical state of membrane lipids occurring upon aging of mycoplasma hominis cultures. | during the progression of mycoplasma hominis cultures from the early logarithmic phase to the stationary phase of growth, the total phospholipid content of the cell membranes decreased. measurement of the amount of the various phospholipids during the growth cycle showed that a decrease in the phosphatidylglycerol (pg) content, accompanied by an increase in the phosphatidic acid content, occurred upon aging of the culture. pulse labeling experiments revealed that the pg, once formed, is relative ... | 1975 | 234420 |
| complement-dependent and complement-independent interactions between mycoplasma hominis and antibodies in vitro. | several in vitro reactions between a strain of m. hominis (no. 4195) and homologous antiserum have been delineated and compared. one complement-dependent and four complement-independent activities of antibody have been studied. the complement-dependent activity was mycoplasmacidal and was inhibited by the presence of arginine in the test medium. the complement-independent antibody-mediated reactions were not mycoplasmacidal and were four in number: (a) agglutination, which was manifested in buff ... | 1975 | 240941 |

| combined type-specific antisera in the identification of mycoplasma hominis. | in the usual serologic test for mycoplasma hominis, disks containing antibody to a prototype strain are applied to an agar plate that has been inoculated with the microorganism to be tested, and inhibition of growth is studied. the recent demonstration that m. hominis is not serologically homogeneous but consists of at least seven serotypes suggested the need for reexamination of the specificity of the disk test. the inhibition of growth of m. hominis on solid medium by disks containing seven an ... | 1975 | 1094075 |
| microbial flora of the lower genital tract during pregnancy: relationship to morbidity. | nineteen genera and groups of micro-organisms were isolated from the lower genital tract of 280 women at their first antenatal visit. chlamydia, viruses, and t-strain mycoplasmas were not sought, and only routine methods of anaerobic culture were used. growth was recorded as scanty, moderate or heavy. the population studied was grouped according to age, parity, gestational stage at booking, presence and degree of severity of lower genital tract morbidity, past history of vulvovaginitis, and susp ... | 1975 | 1100681 |
| mycoplasma hominis: growth, reproduction, and isolation of small viable cells. | improved methods for studying the growth of mycoplasma hominis (atcc 14027) have been developed, involving modified growth conditions and preparation of the organisms under minimally distorting conditions. cells so prepared from batch cultures show relatively uniform exponential growth and appear to be dividing by binary fission; but pleomorphic forms appear upon further incubation. similar behavior was demonstrated by another laboratory-adapted strain and by three clinical isolates, and therefo ... | 1975 | 1102522 |
| mycoplasma meningitis in infants with spina bifida. | infants with myelomeningocele are liable to develop bacterial colonisation of the lesion which, in the case of gram-negative bacteria, often progresses to meningitis because of the infants' immature immune status. the time and origin of the bacterial colonisation usually are uncertain. this study reports seven cases of meningitis caused by mycoplasma hominis, an organism not previously reported to cause meningitis. the commensal status of mycoplasma hominis in the vagina of many women, and its i ... | 1975 | 1107109 |
| immunological studies on the localization of phosphatidylglycerol in the membranes of mycoplasma hominis. | phosphatidylglycerol is the main component (87%) of the membrane phospholipids of mycoplasma hominis. it is immunologically active. antibodies directed against phosphatidylglycerol were detected in rabbits intravenously immunised with native m. hominis or isolated m. hominis membranes. the intravenous method of immunisation was chosen in order to select for a response to surface antigenic determinants. anti-phosphatidylglycerol antibodies were induced in rabbits by intravenously injecting the fl ... | 1975 | 1158331 |
