On the antigenic relationships of certain Citrobacter and Hafnia cultures.

چکیده
The biochemical and serological characters of 36 unclassified cultures are described, and according to these characters the organisms belong to the genera Citrobacter, Aerobacter and Hafnia. While studying the antigenic relationships of the 0 antigens the known antigenic relationship between some serotypes of Citrobacter and Salmonella was confirmed; new antigenic relationships with s. locarno, s. kentucky, s. uccle and s. tranoroa are described. The antigenic relationships of the Hafnia cultures with Shigella Jexneri 4a and with two cultures with a provisional 0 group of Citrobacter were confirmed.

Antigenic scheme of Citrobacter koseri.
An antigenic scheme, based on the determination of 17 somatic and 9 flagellar antigens, is proposed for Citrobacter koseri. Seven of the flagellar antigens constituted the specific phase (a through g), and the others (1 and 2) were nonspecific. Of the 238 theoretically possible serotypes, 48 were identified among 680 cultures examined.
متن کاملEvolution of the gyrB gene and the molecular phylogeny of Enterobacteriaceae: a model molecule for molecular systematic studies.
Phylogenetic trees showing the evolutionary relatedness of Enterobacteriaceae based upon gyrB and 16S rRNA genes were compared. Congruence among trees of these molecules indicates that the genomes of these species are not completely mosaic and that molecular systematic studies can be carried out. Phylogenetic trees based on gyrB sequences appeared to be more reliable at determining relationship...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of Enterosystem 18 R and API 20 E compared with the automatic system VITEK for the identification of the members of the Enterobacteriaceae Family
126 bacterial strains belonging to the members of the Enterobacteriaceae Family (15 species) were used to test a new system for the identification of these germs, the Enterosystem 18 R (ENT 18 R), in confrontation with the system API 20 E comparatively with the system VITEK 30 jr. considered as reference element. Both systems (ENT 18 R and API 20 E) correctly identified all the strains belongin...
متن کاملA molecular phylogeny of enteric bacteria and implications for a bacterial species concept.
A molecular phylogeny for seven taxa of enteric bacteria (Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Hafnia alvei, Klebsiella oxytoca, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Serratia plymuthica) was made from multiple isolates per taxa taken from a collection of environmental enteric bacteria. Sequences from five housekeeping genes (gapA, groEL, gyrA, ompA, and pgi) and the 16S rRNA gene...
متن کاملShigella boydii as cause of malacoplakia in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient.
SIR—We read with great interest the report by Raguin et al. [1] on Shigella boydii as a possible causative agent of colonic malacoplakia in an HIV-infected patient. In the absence of positive cultures, S. boydii was identified by means of universal bacterial 16S rDNA–based amplification and sequencing. Since malacoplakia is usually caused by Escherichia coli, a close relative of shigellae and g...
