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

Chemical properties of the pili of Corynebacterium renale.

Pili separated from the cells of Corynebacterium renale strain 46 (type II) by agitation at high speed in a homogenizer were purified by repeated cycles of ammonium sulfate precipitation, sonic treatment, and centrifugation. The preparation of purified pili formed a single antigen-antibody line in agar gel and showed an absorption maximum at 275 nm. The pili subjected to dodecyl sulfate-polyacr...

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

Corynebacterium renale, Phage-types and their epidemiological significance.

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...
