BACTERIOLOGICAL, IMMUNOLOGICAL AND VIRAL STUDIES ON RECTAL MUCUS IN ENTERIC INFECTIONS (SHIGELLOSIS, SALMONELLOSIS, PATHOGENIC COLI INFECTIONS AND VIRAL ENTERIC INFECTIONS)
Abstract
Agglutinin titers of serum and mucus against O-antigen and H-antigen of six entero-bacilli isolated from feces of acute gastro-enteritis patients were very low. Although clinical figures of these cases were similar to bacillary dysentery, no Shigella strain isolated. Comparative study of agglutinin titers between the Widal test and the Latex Widal test in sera of twenty-one cases of typhoid fever patients was carried out. The Latex agglutinin titers were higher than the Widal agglutinin titers in both agglutinin titers against Vi-antigen or O-antigen of Salmonella typhi. Influences of three solutions (0.5% saline, 0.85% saline, glycine saline buffer Difco) and Latex solution upon agglutinin titer of rabbit anti-Salmonella typhi serum and antigenicity of O-antigen of Salmonella typhi were studied. It was clarified that glycine saline buffer Difco is most suitable to detection of O- agglutinin of anti-O serum.
