Bacteriol. 88:1394-1398. 1964.-The effect of carbon dioxide on the growth of virulent Pasteurella pestis cultures at 37 C with aeration was studied by substituting known products of carbon dioxide fixation for ...

The Effect of Ca++ and Mg++ on Lysis, Growth, and Production of Virulence Antigens by Pasteurella Pestis.

CmEMIcAzy DEFINED CULTURE MEDIUM FOR PASTEURELLA PESTIS

The chemically defined culture media for Pasteurella pestis which were formulated by Rao (1939, 1940a, b), Berkman (1942), Doudoroff (1943), and Herbert (1949) did not support the growth of any of the 27 strains available in this laboratory. This report describes the.development of a chemically defined medium which was evaluated in terms of the following criteria: yields of viable cells, minimu...

Factors influencing the loss of virulence in Pasteurella pestis.

It was found in a previous investigation that various virulent strains of Pasteurella pestis showed a reduction in virulence in aerated broth at 37 C whenever several generations of growth occurred either from small inocula (104 cells/ml) or after repeated passage using larger inocula (Fukui, et al., 1957b). This attenuation seemed to be caused by growth conditions favoring the selection of avi...
