Hemagglutination by Bacterial Phytopathogens

Bacterial phytopathogens and genome science.

There are now fourteen completed genomes of bacterial phytopathogens, all of which have been generated in the past six years. These genomes come from a phylogenetically diverse set of organisms, and range in size from 870 kb to more than 6Mb. The publication of these annotated genomes has significantly helped our understanding of bacterial plant disease. These genomes have also provided importa...

Bacterial hemagglutination and hemolysis.

Growth of bacterial phytopathogens in animal manures.

Animal manures are routinely applied to agricultural lands to improve crop yield, but the possibility to spread bacterial phytopathogens through field fertilization has not been considered yet. We monitored 49 cattle, horse, swine, sheep or chicken manure samples collected in 14 Polish voivodeships for the most important plant pathogenic bacteria - Ralstonia solanacearum (Rsol), Xanthomonas cam...

Hemagglutination Induced by Viruses *

Since the original demonstration of the hemagglutination induced by influenza virus,, 118 a number of other important viruses have been reported as causing the agglutination of chicken erythrocytes. Specific agglutination of these red blood cells has been observed with vaccinia virus,21 the virus of Newcastle disease,1 that of fowl plague,17 variola virus,22 and mumps virus.'6 It has also been ...

Hemagglutination by rabies virus.

Goose erythrocytes were agglutinated by five strains of rabies virus grown in monolayer cell cultures at pH 6.4 and at 0 to 4 C. Hemagglutination was not affected by the cell type in which the virus was grown. Prerequisites for occurrence of hemagglutination are absence of hemagglutination inhibitors (such as those contained in bovine serum) and a relatively high virus concentration (> 10(6) pl...
