A Serological Study on Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Rep. 1. Especially on the Antigenic Structure of Some Mutants Strains of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

抄録

The general features and differences in the antigentic structures are studied of 4 variant strains obtained from a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on agglutination reaction and absorption test. The results obtained are as follows:
1. Serologically different antigens, i. e.4 thermostable I, II, V and VI, and 7 thermolabile ones 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 are detected in the 4 strains.
2. Strain No.58 is proved to have 7 kinds of antigens VI,1,2,3,5,6 and 7.
3. Strain No.117 has 9 antigens I, II, V,1,2,3,4,5 and 6.
4. Strain No.134 has 4 antigens I, II,1 and 2. It shares 4 antigens with strain No.145.
5. Strain No.145 has 6 antigens I, II,1,2,3 and 5. It is a pleasure to record here a debt of gratitude to Professor S. Osawa M. D. for his kindness in reading the original manuscript. To associate Professor E. Inoue M. D. I express my thanks for her suggestion and advice.
Further the author is grateful to Dr. Y. Homma for supplying some strains used in this study.
