Characteristics of a bacteriophage-infected strain of Pasteurella pestis isolated from a human case of plague.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pseudolysogenic strain of Pasteurella pestis was isolated from a human in Vietnam. The culture contained a stable mixture of bacteriophage and phage-sensitive and phage-resistant P. pestis.

متن کاملProduction of Pasteurella pestis toxin.
In the course of the development of a casein hydrolyzate mineral glucose medium for the growth of Pasteurella pestis, strain A1122, for the production of the envelope antigen (Englesberg and Levy, 1954), the potential use of this medium for plague toxin production became apparent. The development of a simplified method for the production of plague toxin made possible by this medium will be desc...
متن کاملPasteurella pestis: Role of Pesticin I and Iron in Experimental Plague.
Loss of the genetic determinant for pesticin I in Pasteurella pestis results in concomitant loss of the plague coagulase and fibrinolytic factor. The median lethal dose for mice of an isolate lacking only these activities is increased by factors of about 10(1), 10(4), and 10(7) cells when administered by the intravenous, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes, respectively. Virulence of the a...
متن کاملPesticinogeny: a characteristic useful for presumptive identification and isolation of Pasteurella pestis.
Current methods of identifying Pasteurella pestis rely heavily on tests specific for detecting fraction I, the envelope antigen. Pesticin I, a bacteriocin inhibitory for P. pseudotuberculosis, has been demonstrated in nearly all tested strains isolated from human infections. The results of using this characteristic as an identifying trait for P. pestis were compared with results reported for de...
