[Characteristics of the serological passage of Escherichia isolated from children and adults with acute intestinal infections].

The serological picture of Escherichia (5,910 strains), isolated from 1,430 inpatients (486 adults and 944 children) with acute intestinal infections by means of new diagnostic preparations (Escherichia rapid agglutinating O- and H-systems), was studied. In 15% of the adults and 26-28% of the children no Escherichia were detected. The serological picture of Escherichia proved to comprise 143 O-groups and 334 serovars; about 50% of the strains belonged to 11 prevailing O-groups: O1, O2, O4, O6, O7, O8, O9, O16, O21, O75, O85. The serological picture in the adults was more variegated than that in the children: from most of the patients (77.2%) Escherichia were isolated as a mixture of 2-9 serovars. The isolation rate of Escherichia monocultures and the incidence of Escherichia belonging to different O-groups were the same in patients of different ages, with the exception of groups O4, O6, O26, O55 and O111 which were more frequent in young children.

[Antigenic characteristics of standard strains of Providencia rettgeri (O- and H-antigens)].

Additions and changes have been introduced into the existing antigenic diagnostic scheme of P. rettgeri on the basis of the study of the antigenic structure of standard strains from foreign collections: new, formerly unknown varieties of somatic and flagellar antigens (O35, O36, H27, H28) have been discovered, the complex of antigenic factors for H-antigens 7, 10, 23, 27 has been discovered. Strains 958 (36 : 28) and 979 (16 : 27a, 23b, 2a), previously classified with the genus Morganella, have been identified by O- and H-antigens.

[Characteristics of bacteria in the genus Proteus isolated from patients with sporadic and group intestinal diseases].

The biochemical and biological properties of 148 Proteus strains isolated from patients both in sporadic intestinal infections and in a case of group infection in children's hospital was studied. The study revealed that the etiological factor of the group infection was P. mirabilis belonging to rare serovar 48:2. Proteus organisms isolated in sporadic infections belonged to a great number of serovars. No relationship between the isolated serovar and the nosological form of the intestinal disease was established. Among the Proteus strains under study, 82 strains showed atypical biochemical properties in 1 test or more. No correlation between the clinical diagnosis and the occurrence of atypical strains was established.

[Serological passage of bacteria of the genus Providencia isolated from patients with wound, urological and intestinal infections].

A total of 395 Providencia strains isolated from patients and the environment were studied. Their differentiation by O and H antigens revealed that these strains belonged to 36 serological groups and contained 26 varieties of the flagellar antigen. In accordance with the combinations of O and H antigens, 59 serological variants were found among the Providencia strains. 33 new, formerly unknown serovars and 2 flagellar antigens were added to the existing antigenic and diagnostic scheme of Providencia. Most of the strains isolated from patients with surgical complications and burns were found to belong to P. stuartii, serovars O44: H4 and O4: H4, and from patients with acute intestinal diseases, to P. alcalifaciens, serovars O2: H26 and O50: H33.

[Highly specific agglutinating O- and OK-immunoglobulins for identification of Escherichia in the agglutination test on glass].

Escherichia agglutinating O- and OK-immunoglobulins of class G were obtained by the method of ion exchange chromatography; in studying with live and heated O- and K- cultures of the test strains from the International escherichia collection these immunoglobulins proved to be diagnostically highly specific and useful for the identification of escherichia strains in the express agglutination reaction on glass.
