[Immunoelectrophoretic analysis of Escherichia coli strains (EPEC, ETEC, EIV and UPEC) (1)]

Water extracts of Escherichia coli "O" and "K" antigen test strains (EPEC, ETEC, EIEC, UPEC) were examined in immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis tests. The precipitation arcs corresponding to the O-antigen specificity and to the thermostable polysaccharide K antigen were easy to identify. All strains gave an O antigen precipitation arc found either on the anodic or the cathodic side of application basin and close to this. The so-called enteropathogenic types (from infantile diarrhoea) had a cathodic O antigen arc type; from dysentery-like disease had a negatively charged O-antigen, but no special thermostable K-antigen. Thus E. coli strains which may invade the tissues when conditions allow have a negatively charged surface antigen, either O-antigen lipopolysaccharide or both. Acidic components were found in the anodic O-antigen.

The agglutinating sera against Hanseniaspora osmophila. H. uvarum and H. valbyensis agglutinated the homologous and heterologous Hanseiaspora strains.

[Diagnosis of some yeasts in Metschnikowia genus with the aid of Salmonella cholerae-suis O agglutinating serum (author's transl)]

In this paper a common antigenic factor among Salmonella choleraesuis 0 antigen and standard Metschnikowia bicuspidata var. bicuspidata and M. pulcherrima strains is shown. This common factor was not present in M. bicuspidata var. australis, M. bicuspidata var. california, M. krissii and M. reukaufii strains. M. bicuspidata var. chathamia and M. zobellii showed agglutination in the previous experiments. According to these results, the use of S. choleraesuis 0:6,7 agglutinating serum for slide and tube agglutination tests can be a diagnostic aid for typing above mentioned Metschnikowia strains along with the other tests.

[Antigenic relationships between Debaryomyces strains (author's transl)]

The results of the agglutinations between homologous and heterologous Debaryomyces strains and their agglutinating sera are shown in table I. According to these findings, D. hansenii and D. marama are antigenically different from other Debaryomyces strains in this genus. In a previous study Aksoycan et al. have shown a common antigenic factor between D. hansenii, D. marama strains and Salmonella 0:7 antigen. This factor was not present in other six strains of Debaryomyces. These results also show that D. tamarii does not have any antigenic relationship with the other seven species of Debaryomyces in this genus.
