متن کاملHemolytic activity of Monocercomonas spp.
The hemolytic activity of an isolate of Monocercomonas spp. from Tropidophis melanurus (snake: Boidae) was investigated. The isolate was tested against human erythrocytes of groups A, B, AB and O and against erythrocytes of six adult animals of different species (rabbit, rat, chicken, horse, bovine, and sheep). Results show that Monocercomonas spp. exerted an hemolytic activity against all eryt...
متن کاملEfficacy of throat gargling for detection of group a beta-hemolytic streptococcus.
The purpose of our study was to investigate the suitability of throat gargling with sterile saline as an alternative method to throat swabs for detection of group A beta- hemolytic streptococcus (GAS). Throat specimens were obtained from 601 cases belonging to different age groups. Sterile Dacron swabs and gargle residue were first streaked on the side of a 5% sheep blood agar plate to which a ...
