A A Obgol'ts, and A D Demidova, and N A Rogatykh, and A Z Gasheva

The complex study of the adhesive, colicinogenic and antigenic properties of S. typhi of different origin has revealed that adhesive properties can be observed more frequently in the strains isolated from the blood and bile and are completely absent in the strains isolated from feces. S. typhi strains of various origin do not essentially differ in their sensitivity to colicins and in the capacity for their production. Among the strains isolated from feces and bile, agents in the W-form occur more frequently than among the strains isolated from the blood. Escherichia coli, isolated from typhoid patients and carriers at the moment of the persistence of S. typhi in the body, are characterized by faintly pronounced antagonistic properties, enhanced sensitivity to colicins and rather pronounced hemagglutinating activity.

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

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
