Corynebacterium renale, Phage-types and their epidemiological significance.

Generalized transduction in Corynebacterium renale.

A phage, designated RP28, was obtained which carried out generalized transduction in Corynebacterium renale, and 11 different auxotrophic markers were all transduced.

Some properties of the pili of Corynebacterium renale.

Some properties of the pili of the gram-positive bacteria Corynebacterium renale were described. A relationship was found between the morphological features of pili and the types of C. renale. Strains of types I and III usually possessed a small number of pili, whereas those of type II possessed numerous pili. Thick and long bundles of pili characteristic of C. renale were frequently observable...

Three types of Corynebacterium renale classified by precipitin reactions in gels.

Characterization of the Type Specific Antigens of Three Types of Corynebacterium Renale

Experimental model of corynebacterium renale pyelonephritis produced in mice.

Corynebacterium renale type I (strain 115), 1.7 X 10(7) to 4.5 X 10(7) organisms, introduced intravenously into mice disappeared from the blood less than 24 h after inoculation and did not produce pyelonephritis. The same strain, 1 X 10(7) to 5 X 10(7) organisms, inoculated into the urinary bladder of mice was not recovered from the blood in any of the mice, but caused pyelonephritis accompanie...
