| [changes in culture and biochemical characteristics of salmonella paratyphi b after incubation in seawater]. | after incubation in seawater salmonella paratyphi b cells rapidly became unable to grow on bacteriological media. previous adaptation to high osmolarity conditions greatly slowed down this process. strains isolated from seawater microcosms after varying incubation periods were qualitatively different and showed changes in some of their growth (colony shape and size) and biochemical properties (acidification of some sugars, gelatinase activity, acetoin production, nitrate reduction). because of t ... | 1992 | 1458377 |

| detection with monoclonal antibody of salmonella typhi antigen 9 in specimens from patients. | monoclonal antibodies were raised against barber antigen (ba) of salmonella typhi 0901. antibodies produced to antigen 9 of group d salmonellae were used in double- and triple-sandwich antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (elisas) for detecting antigen 9 in urine and plasma specimens from three groups of patients and 49 controls. the triple-antibody elisa detected the antigen in urine samples from 11 of 18 (65%) patients with hemoculture-proven typhoid (group 1) and 12 of 39 (31%) patient ... | 1988 | 3183027 |
| [survival of salmonella paratyphi b and pseudomonas aeruginosa in seawater after incubation or washing in the presence of osmolytes]. | the authors have compared the survival in seawater of salmonella paratyphi b and pseudomonas aeruginosa cells grown at low or high osmolarity, in the presence of organic osmolytes: glycine betaine, choline, proline, and glutamate. the four substrates enhanced the survival potential of s. paratyphi b while only glycine betaine protected p. aeruginosa. in addition only s. paratyphi b cells were more resistant after a preliminary growth at high osmolarity. both bacteria were sensitive to osmotic do ... | 1992 | 1356607 |

| salmonella paratyphi c osteomyelitis: report of two separate episodes 17 years apart. | osteomyelitis secondary to salmonella infection is well documented in the literature. infection in more than one focus has also been described. to the best of our knowledge this is the first report of recurrent osteomyelitis in a normal host (a 35-year-old man) with the same organism (s. paratyphi c) in different sites 17 years apart. | 1992 | 1287814 |
| [various cases of acute gastroenteritis due to salmonella paratyphi c]. | five cases of acute gastroenteritis due to salmonella paratyphi c observed in the province of trieste during 1975 are described. it is deduced from the clinical findings and the history in each case that this infection was imported, and favoured by the geographical location of the city and prior mutilating gastrointestinal surgery. the in vitro and in vivo effect of commonly employed antibiotics on this species is assessed. | 1976 | 1023846 |
| serological investigations for the cause of diarrhoea among patients and personnel in the minna and abeokuta hospitals/nigeria. | 188 blood samples were investigated for antibodies against bacteria causing diarrhoea in two hospitals in minna and abeokuta in nigeria. antibodies were found against entamoeba histolytica, yersinia enterocolitica, campylobacter jejuni, salmonella typhi, salmonella paratyphi c, shigella dysenteriae, shigella sonnei, shigella boydii, shigella flexneri and rotavirus. | 1987 | 3443752 |
| in vitro sensitivity of enteric bacteria to epicillin, chloramphenicol, ampicillin and furazolidone. | strains of salmonella typhi (148) and salmonella paratyphi a (27) isolated from the blood of patients with clinical features of enteric fever were tested in vitro for their sensitivity to epicillin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol and furazolidone. results from both the disc and tube dilution methods showed that greater percentages of the two strains were sensitive to epicillin than to the other antibiotics. | 1976 | 985743 |
| observations on morphological, cultural and biochemical changes concomitant with chloramphenicol resistance in salmonella paratyphi b. | it is possible to induce chloramphenicol-resistance in salmonella paratyphi b in vitro and to isolate mutants with different levels of resistance by different techniques. the resistance is invariably accompanied by definite changes in the morphological, cultural and biochemical properties. the degree of resistance and the conditions of isolation seem to influence the biological properties of the mutants. the higher the level of resistance, the greater will be the diversion from the normal. | 1978 | 735559 |
| salt-induced filamentous growth of a salmonella strain isolated from blood. | a strain of salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis serovar paratyphi-a isolated from the blood of a febrile patient grew into filaments on a nutrient agar containing various salts, such as nacl, kcl, mgcl2, nh4cl, (nh4)2so4, or (nh4)2hpo4, at concentrations of 50 to 400 mm. the filamentous cells were nonseptate and multinucleate, and they had colony-forming ability. this mutant strain, however, did not show filamentous growth in liquid media which contained the same salts. on nutrient agar ... | 1986 | 3700602 |

| genetics of sensitivity of salmonella species to colicin m and bacteriophages t5, t1, and es18. | nearly all of 62 strains of salmonella paratyphi b were sensitive to colicin m and phage t5 but resistant to phages t1 and es18 and to colicin b. all tested s. typhimurium strains were resistant to colicin m and phage t5, and many were sensitive to phage es18. a rough s. typhimurium lt2 strain given the tona region of escherichia coli or s. paratyphi b became sensitive to colicin m and phage t5. we infer that the tona allele of s. paratyphi b, like that of e. coli, determines an outer membrane p ... | 1977 | 324978 |
