Comparative serologic analysis of Lac+ recombinants of serotypes 2a, 2b, 5a and variant Y of Shigella flexneri. 1975

J Kolodyński, and M Lagowska-Zlotorzycka, and M Lachowicz

The serologic structure of Lac+ recombinants of 2a, 2b, 5a and var. Y serotypes of Sh. flexneri was compared. Rec. 2a Lac+, rec. 2b Lac+ and rec. Y Lac+ were shown to be identified, and rec. 5a Lac+ was found to differ from those mentioned in that it was deficient in determinants for 3,4 group antigen complex. Furthermore, the paper discusses the presumable genetic mechanisms of the described variability.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011995	Recombination, Genetic	Production of new arrangements of DNA by various mechanisms such as assortment and segregation, CROSSING OVER; GENE CONVERSION; GENETIC TRANSFORMATION; GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; or mixed infection of viruses.	Genetic Recombination,Recombination,Genetic Recombinations,Recombinations,Recombinations, Genetic
D003433	Crosses, Genetic	Deliberate breeding of two different individuals that results in offspring that carry part of the genetic material of each parent. The parent organisms must be genetically compatible and may be from different varieties or closely related species.	Cross, Genetic,Genetic Cross,Genetic Crosses
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

D012763	Shigella flexneri	A bacterium which is one of the etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery (DYSENTERY, BACILLARY) and sometimes of infantile gastroenteritis.
D013045	Species Specificity	The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
