[Immunological characteristics of the protein antigens of the family Neisseriaceae. II. The importance of an immunochemical analysis of the protein complexes for a study of taxonomy problems].

The study of antigenic interrelations in the family Neisseriaceae resulted in the isolation of 2 main immunologically separated variants of protein complexes: the first variant was characteristic of nonpathogenic and pathogenic species of the genus Neisseria as well as of 7 taxonomically undefined Neisseria species (N. lactamicus, N. cuniculi, N. ellongata, N. ovis, N. animalis, N. cinerea, N. canis) and Gemella haemolysans; the second variant was represented by the genera Branhamella and Acinetobacter. N. caviae and 3 out of 14 Neisseria strains of undefined species had no common antigens with the genera Neisseria and Branhamella. The importance of the immunotyping of protein complexes for studying the problems connected with the taxonomy of the family Neisseriaceae was considered.

[Nonpathogenic Neisseria on the mucosa of the respiratory tract in healthy persons and patients with infectious-allergic bronchial asthma].

The comparative study of Neisseria strains, isolated from the bronchi and the pharynx of healthy persons and infectious asthma patients, was made. Nonpathogenic Neisseria isolated from bronchial asthma patients were represented by the same species as those in the pharyngeal flora of healthy persons. Only N. perflava occurred in the pharynx and the bronchi of infectious asthma patients twice as often as in healthy persons. Neisseria colonies in the R-form were shown to prevail in the cultures obtained by the inoculation of the smears taken from asthma patients.

[Microflora of the intestine and biliary tracts in patients with viral hepatitis].

The authors present the results of studying the microflora if the intestine and of the biliary tracts in patients with viral hepatitis; dysbacteriosis was revealed in 53% of the cases. This percentage proved to decrease with clinical recovery. Bile proved to be often contaminated with microbes -- 77% of the samples; this was particularly true in cases with cholestatic variant of the disease and in cases of moderate severity. The fact of prolonged habitation of the microorganisms in the bile system is of importance -- 68% of the patients still had microbial flora in the gall bladder and the biliary tracts by the time of discharge from the hospital.
