“…Lead acetate papers were held over the medium by the screw cap which was kept loose. At 6 days final observations were made for H,S production, and indole was tested for by addition of ether and Ehrlich's rosindole reagent (Mackie & McCartney, 1960 Catalase. Loopfuls of agar growth were emulsified in 10 vol.…”

SUMMARYThe cultural and physiological characteristics of some Xanthomonas spp. that are typical of the genus were compared with two atypical species, Xanthomonas uredovorus and X . stewartii. Electron microscopic studies of X . uredovorus, prepared by two methods, show that this organism possesses peritrichous flagella. This fact, together with evidence of the fermentative metabolism of carbohydrates, should exclude this bacterium from the genus Xanthomonas. The interpretation of electron micrographs is discussed, and the systematic position of X . uredovorus and X . stewartii.

“…The method of Tittsler & Sandholzer (1936) for the detection of motility in slightly motile organisms was also used. The possession of an oxidase enzyme was tested by pouring a 1.0 yo (w/v) solution of tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine over the colonies on an agar plate and examining for the development of a purple colour within the colonies (Mackie & McCartney, 1953).…”

The Classification of Fusobacteria from the Human Mouth

SUMMARY : 237 strains of fusobacteria were studied and classified by such characters as cell composition, metabolism and morphology. They are shown to be closely related metabolically and in cell composition, but distinguishable by morphology into two species: Fusobacterium nucleatum Knorr and F. polymorphum Knorr. It is suggested that these organisms are actinomycetes which have lost a number of characters in undergoing adaptation to parasitism.

“…The distribution of antibody in survivors of S 2/R infection The serum of sixty-six survivors 28 days after infection with 1000 S 2/R organisms, and thirty-two vaccinated mice, was examined for the presence of 0 antibody by Dreyer's method (Mackie & McCartney, 1949). Only 16 % of the infected animals were positive, with a mean titre of 1 in 25; 43 % of the vaccinated group were positive with a mean titre of 1 in 37.…”

Resistance to reinfection in experimental mouse typhoid

Mice surviving infection with a strain of Salm. typhimurium of reduced virulence developed a progressive resistance to reinfection with virulent strains.The degree of resistance was greater than that of vaccinated mice, although the primary infection had not caused any significant degree of natural selection or higher serum titres of O antibody.The previously infected animals responded to reinfection with a virulent strain of Salm. typhimurium by gradually restraining bacterial growth. Many of the survivors eradicated the reinfecting strain.The possible reasons for the difference between vaccinated mice and survivors of previous infection have been discussed.I am indebted to the Medical Research Council for the provision of a grant towards the expenses of this investigation and to Mr T. Norris and Miss Italia S. Alderton for technical assistance.

Abstract: Every medical practitioner has experienced the extreme difficulty of adequately controlling epidermophytosis of the feet with the medicaments ordinarily advocated. A new method which gives rapid and consistently satisfactory results must therefore be of wide interest.
