bacteriological typing of c. diphtheriae strains recently isolated in teheran
Authors
abstract
from a total of 600 nose and throat introduction swabs examined for diphtherie, 200 or 33% were positive. cultures were carfully classified on the basis of morphological appearance and biochemical characteristics into gravis, mitis and intermedius groups. a special tellurite serum agar was used for colonial appearance. neill's broth culture was employed for haemolytic tests. the virulence of each culture was examined in laboratory animals by the agar gel precipitation method of elek. from 200 cultures tested, 138 or 69% were gravis, 5 or 2.5% were intermedius, and 57 or 28% were mitis. 'i'hre.e strains of gravis type and one strain of mitis type were avirulent

Antibiotic Resistance Patterns and Molecular Typing of Acinetobacter Baumannii Strains Isolated from Burn Patients in Iran
Background and Aims: Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is an important multidrug-resistant opportunistic pathogen frequently causing various nosocomial infections and is a serious threat to burn patients. These infections are usually caused by the outbreak strains. The aim of this study was to show antibiotic resistance pattern and molecular typing of A. baumannii genes isolates collected ...

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 prevente...

Five Bedsonia (Chlamydia) isolates from lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) patients were tested for inclusion type, sulfonamide sensitivity, and mouse virulence. Two matched the classical description of LGV agents. Two were not virulent for mice by the intracerebral route, therefore fitting the description for trachoma-inclusion conjunctivitis agents. One was highly virulent for mice and sulfonamid...

BACKGROUND The reemergence of epidemic diphtheria in Belarus in 1990s has provided us with important information on the biology of the disease and the diversity of the causative agent Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Molecular investigations were conducted with the aim to analyze the genetic variability of C diphtheriae during the post-epidemic period. METHODS The biotype and toxigenicity status ...
