Further Observations on Mima Polymorpha and Achromobacter (bacterium) Anitratum.

چکیده
Further investigations on the morphology, biochemical reactions, and serological relationships of strains of Mima polymorpha and Achromobacter (Bacterium) anitratum are reported. The results seem to indicate such a close relationship that it may yet be necessary to reconsider the nomenclature of these organisms.

Bacterium Anitratum and Mima Polymorpha Infection in Uganda.
Eleven cases of infection with Bacterium anitratum and one with Mima polymorpha are described. Microscopically the organisms showed Gram-negative or Gram-variable diplococci with a tendency to form filaments. There appear to be a number of biochemical variants of B. anitratum. Serological cross-reactions with the genus Klebsiella was found. The antibiotic patterns are given and particular atten...
متن کاملSlide agglutination technique for the rapid differentiation of Mima polymorpha and Herellea from the Neisseriae.
The genera Mima and Herellea, members of the tribe Mimeae (De Bord, 1942), contain organisms which morphologically resemble the Neisseriae upon primary isolation. Since they are being isolated in increasing numbers from the spinal fluid of patients with acute meningitis, a method for their differentiation from the Neisseriae would be advantageous. Schaub and Hauber (1948) classified a gramnegat...

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) base composition and DNA homologies of more than 40 strains of oxidase-negative Moraxella species were determined. These bacteria have also been identified as belonging to the Mima-Herellea-Acinetobacter group and the Bacterium anitratum group, as well as to several other genera including Achromobacter and Alcaligenes. The DNA base content of these strains ranged...

An evaluation was made of media and tests used for differentiating nonfermenting gram-negative bacteria encountered in medical bacteriology in order to determine those diagnostic procedures most useful in identifying these bacteria. The organisms examined included Alcaligenes faecalis, A. odorans var. viridans, Moraxella duplex (Mima polymorpha var. oxidans), Acinetobacter anitratum (Herellea v...
