Studies on Bacteriophage and Metabolic Identification of Brucella Strains

Epidemiological Studies on Ruman Brucellosis in Iran and the Identification by Bacteriophage

Metabolic studies on Brucella neotomae (Stoenner and Lackman).

Stoenner and Lackman (1957) isolated an organism from the wood rat Neotoma lepida and, on the basis of its behavior on differential dye media, CO2 requirements, and H2S production, regarded it as a new species of Brucella, for which they proposed the name Brucella neotomae. Although recognition of a new species may be justified on the basis of these conventional techniques, it was considered ad...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...

Identification of dye-sensitive strains of Brucella melitensis.

Strains of Brucella melitensis biovars 1, 2, and 3 isolated in India, Italy, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Zimbabwe were inhibited by thionin (20 micrograms/ml) but not by basic fuchsin (20 micrograms/ml) or safranin O (200 micrograms/ml). In other respects the strains were typical of their species and biovars. The existence of dye-sensitive strains of B. melitensis...

Electrophoresis Studies on Brucella.

The literature on electrophoresis of bacteria is quite voluminous and has been reviewed, among others, by Winslow, Falk and Caulfield (1923-4), Winslow and Upton (1926), Winslow and Fleeson (1925-8), Joffe and Mudd (1934-5), and Abramson (1934). Although a few workers have concerned themselves with studies of this type on Brucella species, apparently there has been no systematic investigation o...
