Natural occurrence of induced or artificial flagellar antigens in Salmonella newport.

Douglas, G. W. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), Alma C. McWhorter, and P. R. Edwards. Natural occurrence of induced or artificial flagellar antigens in Salmonella newport. J. Bacteriol. 83:348-350. 1962.-Two epidemiologically related cultures of Salmonella newport, which possessed naturally occurring artificial or induced antigens in phase 2, were studied. It was demonstrated that similar antigens may be obtained by cultivation of normal S. newport cultures in appropriate antisera. These antigens were assigned the symbols 1,12. The diagnostic problems posed by the natural occurrence of induced antigens are mentioned.

A culture of Salmonella infantis of complex antigenic constitution.

Edwards, P. R. (Communicable Disease Center, U.S. Public Health Service, Atlanta, Ga.), A. C. McWhorter, and G. W. Douglas. A culture of Salmonella infantis of complex antigenic constitution. J. Bacteriol. 84:95-98. 1962-An antigenically complex Salmonella serotype (6,7:z(49),r:z(49),1,5), in which the antigen z(49) is a major component of both phases, is described. Through loss variation, this form gives rise to cultures identical with S. infantis (6,7:r:1,5). Attention is drawn to the similarity of its behavior to that of S. montgomery and S. salinatis, and the possible origin of such complex forms is discussed briefly. The organism is not assigned a name, but is considered simply as a complex form of S. infantis.
