A method for determining the utilisation of glucose by mycoplasmas.

A technique for measuring glucose utilisation by mycoplasmas, in which the disappearance of glucose is monitored by the glucose-oxidase method, is proposed as an alternative to the pH method. For maximum reliability the number of organisms in the test suspension must exceed a critical minimum value. Differences in efficiency of glucose utilisation were demonstrated between species of Mycoplasma and Acholeplasma.

Genitourinary anomalies associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome.

Of thirty-nine patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome, twenty-five (64 per cent) had significant genitourinary-tract anomalies demonstrated by intravenous urogram and physical examination. The incidence of these anomalies in Feil's three types of the syndrome was essentially the same, unilateral renal agenesis being the most common. A routine intravenous urogram is indicated in patients with this syndrome.
