چکیده
on Loeffler's medium are doing second-rate bacteriological work so far as diphtheria is con* cerned, was a serious reflection on any well" established laboratory. Since the statement appeared, we have tried our level best to incorporate tellurite media in the routine diag" nosis of diphtheria at this Institute, but the irregular and inadequate supplies of potassium tellurite during war prevented us from doing so. With an adequate supply in 1945, an opportunity

Short Communication: Diphtheria Toxin Repressor (dtxR) Gene-based Genetic Diversity of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated in Jakarta, Indonesia, 2018-2019
Background and Objective: In Indonesia, diphtheria cases caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae are still occurring until today. One of the causes is probably the diphtheria toxin repressor (dtxR) gene which influences toxin expression. Therefore, in this study the characterization of the gene was performed to determine the mutations that affect the DtxR protein. Methods: The dtxR genes of ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Diphtheria infections caused by the different toxigenic biotypes of Corynebacterium diphtheriae are endemic in Delhi. Information on biochemical identification, toxigenicity and antimicrobial susceptibility to this bacterium is scanty. This retrospective study was carried out to identify isolated Corynebacteria biochemically, determine their toxigenicity, drug sensitivity...

In order to study the bacterial flora of dead-in-shell ostrich chicks, twelve unhatched eggs which did nothave external pipping during the hatching period were transferred to the laboratory of microbiology. The eggshells were accurately disinfected and the embryos were removed and placed in a sterile plate. The surface of each embryo was swabbed with a sterile swab which was also plunged throug...
متن کاملMultilocus sequence types of invasive Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolated in the Rio de Janeiro urban area, Brazil.
Invasive infections caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae in vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals have been reported increasingly. In this study we used multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to study genetic relationships between six invasive strains of this bacterium isolated solely in the urban area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during a 10-year period. Of note, all the strains rendered negativ...
