Differentiation of Pathogenic and Saprophytic Leptospires with 8-azaguanine.
Johnson, Russell C. (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis), and Palmer Rogers. Differentiation of pathogenic and saprophytic leptospires with 8-azaguanine. J. Bacteriol. 88:1618-1623. 1964.-The use of the purine analogue, 8-azaguanine, as a differential agent for the separation of pathogenic and saprophytic leptospires was investigated. Growth of strains of the saprophyte Leptospira biflexa was...
متن کاملLipids of parasitic and saprophytic leptospires.
The lipid composition of five parasitic and six saprophytic leptospires was compared. Lipids comprise 18 to 26% of the dry weight of the cells after chloroform-methanol extraction. No residual (bound) lipid was found after acid or alkaline hydrolysis of the extracted residue. The total lipid was composed of 60 to 70% phospholipid, and the remaining lipid was free fatty acids. The phospholipid f...
متن کاملDifferentiation of Mycobacteria by Susceptibility to Hydroxylamine and 8-azaguanine.
In the process of studying conventional methods for differentiation of mycobacteria, a number of compounds were tested in this laboratory. Among them, hydroxylamine and 8-azaguanine were found to be useful. Among slowly growing mycobacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 11. bovis were distinguished from others by their sensitivity to both compounds; among rapidly growing mycobacteria, fortuit...
متن کاملUse of 8-azaguanine to differentiate leptospires isolated from Iowa surface waters.
Definitive classification of leptospires according to serotype rests with use of the microscopic agglutination and agglutinin-absorption tests. R. C. Johnson and P. Rogers (J. Bacteriol. 88:1618, 1964) observed inhibition of pathogenic serotypes by the purine analogue 8-azaguanine, whereas saprophytic serotypes were able to grow. This report is concerned with the effect of 8-azaguanine on growt...
متن کاملSmall mammals – natural reservoir of pathogenic leptospires
A total of 429 specimens belonging to 9 species of small mammals, trapped in various areas of the Czech Republic during the year 2001, were examined for antibodies against leptospires. Antibodies were found in all localities under study in 50 specimens, i.e., 11.6%, belonging to 5 species. Antibodies were most often , i.e., in 42% of positives, found in Microtus arvalis. In Apodemus spp. and Cl...
