Peculiar Serological Behaviour of a Strain of Leptospira Canicola

department for agglutination reaction for leptospiral infection. The serum was put up against all the strains of leptospira then available in the laboratory, viz, strain Chopra (classical L. icterohcemorrhagice), Mg. Tin Tin (= Java bat strain), Andaman CH 31, Andaman CH 11, and L. canicola. It failed to agglutinate all these strains except L. canicola. In the latter a few definite clumps were ...

Adult respiratory distress syndrome in Leptospira canicola infection.

A man was admitted to the Johannesburg Hospital with a history of fever, diarrhoea, and dry cough for four days. He began to produce bloodstained sputum and was found to have severe arterial hypoxaemia. Radiography showed widespread opacification over both lung fields, and the clinical and haemodynamic features were consistent with the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Serology for Leptospir...

Cultivation of Leptospirae. I. Nutrition of Leptospira Canicola.

Stalheim, O. H. V. (University of Wisconsin, Madison), and J. B. Wilson. Cultivation of leptospirae. I. Nutrition of Leptospira canicola. J. Bacteriol. 88:48-54. 1964.-The nutrition of Leptospira canicola was investigated by use of synthetic media of suitable ionic strength. At an incubation temperature of 30 C, the minimal components were calcium, iron, magnesium, and ammonium ions, thiamine, ...

Amino acid sequences of proteins from Leptospira serovar pomona.

This report describes a partial amino acid sequences from three putative outer envelope proteins from Leptospira serovar pomona. In order to obtain internal fragments for protein sequencing, enzymatic and chemical digestion was performed. The enzyme clostripain was used to digest the proteins 32 and 45 kDa. In situ digestion of 40 kDa molecular weight protein was accomplished using cyanogen bro...
