[Differential characteristics of the I and II phases and R-form of Sh. sonnei]. 1978

I A Nastichkin, and L V Miroliubova

Characteristics of various phases of Sh. sonnei were determined on the standard strains of Sh. sonnei of phases I and II and R-form used for the industrial production of agglutinating monoreceptor sera. Bacteria of phase I displayed a distinct morphological, cultural and serological differences. For the differentiation of Sh. sonnei of the II phase and R-form, representing the greatest difficulty in this respect, it is recommended to use phages RFfm and 6-SR, and also indirect immunofluorescence method with the application of agglutinating monophasic serum against the II phase of Sh. sonnei. In addition, a study was made of over 20 various Sh. sonnei strains at different dissociative process phases. Verification data completely confirmed the specificity of phages RFfm and 6-SR for Sh. sonnei in the II phase. The efficacy of the immunofluorescence method was confirmed on 6 strains.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009154	Mutation	Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.	Mutations
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
