Occurrence of P-fimbriated Escherichia coli in urinary tract infections.
The occurrence of Escherichia coli possessing P blood-group-specific adhesins (P-fimbriae) was examined in 97 children with urinary tract infections and 82 healthy controls. P-fimbriae were present in 91% (33/35) of the urinary strains causing acute pyelonephritis. Among strains causing cystitis and asymptomatic bacteriuria P-fimbriae were found in 19% and 14% of cases, respectively. Only 7% of faecal isolates from healthy controls carried P-fimbriae. The results were similar in three different studies. In most of the children with acute pyelonephritis the urinary pathogen was the predominant E. coli strain of the periurethral and faecal flora.

HLA antigens in patients with otosclerosis.
Seventy-four (50 females and 24 males) consecutively sampled patients with otosclerosis were tissue typed for HLA A and B antigens. There was no significant increase in any A or B antigen, but the frequency of B40 was significantly lower (p less than 0.05) in patients than in blood donors. No significant difference in HLA antigen frequencies was found between men and women, or in patients with vs. without a family history of otosclerosis.
