MORPHOLOGIC VARIATION IN PNEUMOCOCCUS I. AN A~ALYSlS OF T~E BASES FOR MORPHOLOGIC VARIATION IN PNEUMOCOCCUS AND DESCRIPTION OF A HITHERTO
نویسنده
چکیده
Since Dawson's description of a rough variant of pneumococcus (1), little has been written concerning the bases for morphologic variation in this species. Recent studies of the effect of transformation reactions upon the morphology of pneumococcus (2-4), however, have created renewed interest in this subject and have made desirable also reconsideration of the problems of colonial variation in bacteria.

The Epidemiology of Pneumococcus Infection
1. Pneumococci were obtained at one time or another from the nasal passages or throats of 80 per cent of 105 adults and children studied. In adults, they were obtained more frequently from the throat; in children, as often from the nasal passages as from the throat. 2. Of 500 pneumococcus strains studied, 97 per cent proved to be serologically specific. They formed smooth colonies and were for ...

Bacteriol. 82:461-470. 1961.-Streptomycin-resistant mutants arising spontaneously in pneumococcus vary widely with respect to the maximal concentrations of streptomycin which they resist. A small random sample of these mutations tested for linkage are allelic or closely ...

1. The A carbohydrate isolated from Type I pneumococcus by Pappenheimer and Enders, on the basis of elementary analysis, the presence of the acetyl group and its immunological properties, appears to be identical with the acetyl polysaccharide described by Avery and Goebel. 2. The A carbohydrate possesses a greater anti-opsonic action than either the deacetylated substance obtained by boiling in...
متن کاملPneumococcus pneumonia and its complications.
The subject of this essay is pneumococcus pneumonia and its complications as seen in San Francisco over various periods of study from December 1932 to June 1946. Pneumonia has been ever present in San Francisco though it has been of varying severity and etiology from year to year. Until the 1918 epidemic of influenza and the pneumonias which complicated it, pneumococcus pneumonia is said to hav...
متن کاملAccuracy of phenotypic and genotypic testing for identification of Streptococcus pneumoniae and description of Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae sp. nov.
We have identified an unusual group of viridans group streptococci that resemble Streptococcus pneumoniae. DNA-DNA homology studies suggested that a subset of these isolates represent a novel species that may be included in the S. oralis-S. mitis group of viridans group streptococci. We suggest that this novel species be termed Streptococcus pseudopneumoniae. A combination of phenotypic and gen...
