| salmonella virchow: abscess former amongst the contemporary invasive salmonellae? | abscess formation associated with salmonella infections has long been recognized--but without implicating a particular serotype. the pathogenicity, invasiveness and increasingly frequent isolation of salmonella virchow in the uk is well established. it's propensity to abscess formation is, however, less well recognised. we report 5 patients with abscesses due to s. virchow. this represents a disproportionate number of abscesses in relation to the salmonella isolations in north east scotland duri ... | 1991 | 1957130 |
| a comparison of methods for the isolation of salmonellae from sewage sludge. | methods for the isolation of salmonellae from sewage sludge were compared. buffered peptone water and lactose broth were compared to determine their efficiencies as preenrichment media and temperature and duration of incubation were also investigated. in addition five enrichment and five plating media were compared together with the effects of multiple plating of enrichment broths. buffered peptone water incubated at 43 degrees c for 24 h was shown to be the pre-enrichment method of choice with ... | 1984 | 6377754 |
