Cultural Characteristics of Donovania granulomatis.

Studies on Granuloma Inguinale Iv. Growth Requirements of Donovania Granulomatis and Its Relationship to the Natural Habitat of The

While the postulates of Koch have never been fulfilled in granuloma inguinale, there is much presumptive evidence to indicate that Donovania granulomatis is the aetiological agent of the disease. The prototype of D. granulomatis was isolated originally by Anderson (1943), and since that time at least six other investigators (Beveridge, 1945; Dienst, 1948; Goldberg, Weaver, and Packer, 1953; Jen...

An Etiologic Consideration of Donovania Granulomatis Cultivated from Granuloma Inguinale (three Cases) in Embryonic Yolk

1. A microorganism identical with that originally described by Anderson has been cultivated in pure strain from two additional cases of granuloma inguinale by means of inoculating the yolk of chick embryos with uncontaminated human tissue containing Donovan bodies. 2. The morphological and cultural characteristics of the three isolated strains are described and discussed. 3. This microorganism ...

Donovanosis of the anus in the male; an epidemiological consideration.

Donovanosis, also known as granuloma inguinale, granuloma venereum, and by other names (Marmell and Santora, 1950), is a chronic specific infection manifested clinically by ulcerating granulomatous lesions inivolving, in the majority of cases, the skin and subcutaneous tissues. Although these manifestations are generally limited to the genitalia and adjacent areas, the lesions may appear-both a...
