Free-sporing Cl. welchii in ordinary laboratory media and conditions.
نویسنده
چکیده
A strain of Clostridium welchii produced spores in ordinary blood agar plates. Investigations confirmed that it was the character of this particular strain and that the laboratory media were not inducing sporulation. During a period of 12 months a total of 100 strains of Cl. welchii were studied. None of them produced spores in ordinary laboratory media and conditions when examined microscopically.

متن کاملIncomplete anaerobiosis as a cause of metronidazole 'resistance'.
Clostridium welchii, used as a control, was found to grow well in a microaerophilic jar used for campylobacters but appeared resistant to a metronidazole disc although the campylobacter was sensitive. Minimum inhibitory concentrations for six strains of Cl. welchii were up to 64-fold higher in these conditions than when grown anaerobically. Zones of inhibition with both Cl. welchii and Bacteroi...

متن کاملSilylation of Alcohols and Phenols Using HMDS Catalyzed by SiO2-Cl in Solution and Solvent-Free Conditions
Trimethylsilylation of a variety of alcohols and phenols, in the presence of silica chloride, using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) in solution and under solvent-free conditions is reported. Trimethylsilyl ethers were formed in excellent yields both for aliphatic alcohols and phenols without having an electron-withdrawing group. In addition, SiO2-Cl can be recovered and reused after drying.
متن کاملFood poisoning due to Cl. welchii.
THE report of the Medical Research Council for the year 1951-2 records that one of the most recent additions to the list of recognized causative organisms of food-poisoning is a heat-resistant variant of Cl. welchii. The present paper describes an outbreak of food-poisoning in an army camp in which there is evidence to presume that Cl. welchii was responsible. In a comprehensive study of clostr...
