nonstaphylococcal bacteria in renal cortical abcess.five cases of renal cortical abscess are presented, of which four yielded gram-negative pathogens. along with a review of the recent literature, this suggests that nonstaphylococcal bacteria are a more common cause of this disease.1976769286
the bacterial flora of the female rat genital tract.a study of the genital microflora in virgin female rats of reproductive age has demonstrated that alpha and nonhemolytic streptococci, pasteurella pneumotropica, diphtheroid bacilli, staphylococcus epidermidis, and proteus mirabilis are the predominant genital organisms. the ph of the rat vagina was demonstrated to be near neutrality. it is suggested that the higher ph in the rat vagina as compared to the human vagina may account for some of the differences between human and rat genital microflo ...1976768992
the isolation and partial characterization of a new restriction endonuclease from providencia stuartii.we describe the isolation of a new class 2 restriction endonuclease from providencia stuartii 164. using the procedure of osmotic shock treatment, we have partially purified this enzyme (pst 1) and have begun preliminary work to characterize its specificity and requirements. pst 1 requires mg++ as the only cofactor and produces more than 18 cleavages in wild type lambda. we have determined the location of 7 of these cleavages by the use of deletion and insertion mutants of lambda.1976768923
transduction of leucine auxotrophs of proteus mirabilis to prototrophy or antibiotic resistance by p. mirabilis high frequency transducing bacteriophages.high frequency transducing (hft) phages 5006mhftk and 5006mhftak for kanamycin or ampicillin plus kanamycin resistance, derived from proteus mirabilis strains pm5006(r394) and pm5006(r394) respectively, transduced (at low multiplicities of infection, m.o.i.) antibiotic resistance and prototrophy to pm5006 leu-i at high frequency. simultaneous transduction of these markers occurred at very much lower frequencies. the latter result was correlated with the proportion of multiply-infected bacteria w ...1976768411

the linkage of lysine in the o-specific chains of proteus mirabilis 1959.lipopolysaccharides of qualitatively identical but quantitatively different sugar composition were extracted from proteus mirabilis strain 1959. the lipopolysaccharide with the higher percentage of typical o-specific constituents was subjected to partial acid hydrolysis. an oligosaccharide b22 was separated by paper chromatography and electrophoresis. it was found to be composed of equimolar amounts of d-galacturonic acid, d-galactosamine and l-lysine. dinitrophenylation of the oligosaccharide a ...1976767106
inhibition of cell wall synthesis by sulfonamides and trimethoprim.the hypothesis that defective cell wall synthesis seems to represent a final common pathway of drug-induced injury either within the bacterial cell or on its surface was supported by two different findings: (1) sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim, either alone or in combination, induced morphological findings in various escherichia coli and proteus mirabilis strains identical to those found after incubation with so-called cell-wall-active antibiotics (e.g., penicillin) and (2) cell-wall-defective ...1976767064
