Typing of Shigella sonnei colicins by means of specific indicators. 1975

V Horák

An enlarged and perfected scheme of typing of Shigella sonnei colicins is based on the knowledge of types of colicins produced by Abbott's types as well as by newly discovered and determined colicin types. A set of specific indicators prepared from E. coli K13 HfrR, E. coli C6 and Shigella sonnei by a selection of suitable mutants and recombinations was used for the typing. Seven new colicin types were determined on typing shigellae found in the field. Type 9A produces colicins E3, Ia, Type 16 produces colicin B, Type 17 colicins B, Ib, Type 18 colicins E2+?, Type 19 colicins E2, Ia, Type 20 colicins E1, Ib, Type 21 colicins E2, ib. The present scheme can be enlarged, when new types are found.

D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
