Bacteria in bile of patients with bile duct inflammation.

Bile samples taken intraoperatively from 100 patients with three different bile system diseases were subjected to bacteriological analysis. Statistically significant differences between the types of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria present in the bile were found.

Quantitative studies of the flora of the nasal vestibule in relation to nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus.

Aerobic and anaerobic bacterial flora and yeast flora of the nasal vestibule were studied quantitatively in eight persons who were persistent, transient or non-carriers of Staphylococcus aureus. The nasal flora of all the subjects consisted of lipophilic and non-lipophilic aerobic diphtheroids, propionibacteria and different staphylococcal species. Other micro-organisms, such as Pityrosporum and Candida, micrococci, streptococci and coliforms were found only occasionally. The presence of S. aureus was related to diminished numbers of other staphylococcal strains and of propionibacteria.

Use of a phage set for the ecological typing of coagulase-negative staphylococci.

The staphylococcal flora of skin and acne lesions of 98 patients was analysed by the use of phage typing and biotyping methods. It appeared that in some individuals a relatively stable staphylococcal flora was present while others harboured 7 or more different strains. The same S. epidermidis strains were found on different skin sites and in acne lesions of a given individual. Examples of different carriage patterns were given.

Evaluation of a new bacteriophage set for typing of Staphylococcus epidermidis strains.

A new set of typing phages was evaluated for typing 821 Staphylococcus epidermidis strains isolated from normal human skin and from acne lesions. This method was compared with two different systems for biochemical differentiation of S. epidermidis. Distinct subgroups of cocci, which differed in phage susceptibility as well as in biochemical properties, were found. A tentative subdivision of S. epidermidis strains by use of 16 phages arranged into four groups is proposed, together with additional biochemical differentiation of non-typable strains.
