Agglutinating serum for distinguishing Staphylococcus aureus of human biotype.
نویسنده
چکیده
Antiserum to Staphylococcus aureus strain 17 was treated with S. aureus strain 61218 until the antibodies against thermostable agglutinogen were removed. The absorbed serum agglutinated phage-typable as well as phageuntypable staphylococci of human biotype, whether recovered from people or from dogs.

New serologically distinguishable type of coagulase-positive staphylococcus of canine origin.
Of 150 coagulase-positive staphylococcal isolates from infections in dogs, 9 isolates with biochemical properties of human biotype were characteristically agglutinated by absorbed antiserum to staphylococcal strain 17, while only 110 of 141 isolates with biochemical properties of staphylococci of canine origin were agglutinated by absorbed antiserum to strain 61218. However, upon development of...
متن کاملRelationship of antigen k to Staphylococcus aureus bacteriophage type 187, of human and of canine origins.
Similarities as well as differences have been observed between phage type 187 Staphylococcus aureus cultures of human and of canine origins. Thus, all strains susceptible to phage 187, regardless of their host specificity, were agglutinated by absorbed serum k. (Furthermore, agglutinability of the autoclaved bacteria indicated a reaction with the k(1) component of the k-antigen complex.) On the...

Background: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) plays an important role in gastrointestinal diseases. The goal of this research was to determine phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of MRSA isolated from dairy and meat products in Iran. Methods: Ninety-three S. aureus isolates were prepared which had been obtained in our previous study. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing w...
متن کاملAnimal fecal carriership and biotypes of Staphylococcus aureus.
Staphylococcus aureus was found in 44% of the rectal swabs from 377 pigs and in 12% of the swabs from 147 cows. Seventy-one percent of the isolates from pigs showed fibrinolytic activity and grew in colonies of the negative violet type on crystal violet agar. In this group, 47% of the isolates coagulated both human and bovine plasmas and were characterized as intermediate type, whereas 24% coag...
متن کاملStaphylococci from the feces of different animal species: biotypes of Staphylococcus aureus strains of sheep and goat origin.
Staphylococcus aureus was found in 96% of the rectal swabs from 133 sheep and in 80% of the swabs from 125 goats. Seventy-seven percent of the isolates from both hosts exhibited the fibrinolytic and growth characteristics of human biotype A on human plasma and crystal violet agar, respectively, but 99% of these isolates resembled S. aureus of animal origin in their other properties. Only 21% of...
