DATA ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF PSEUDOTUBERCULOSIS CULTURES

Abstract

In studying pseudotuberculosis cultures isolated from various species of rodents in the Far East and in Siberia, and cultures isolated from man (sent from France), the identity of their cultural-biochemical properties was established. In serological study of 54 strains isolated from rodents, using typical pseudotuberculosis sera 31 were grouped in serological type I, 1 -- in type II, 2 -- in type III, 8 -- in type IV, and 12 were not agglutinated by type sera. The extensive distribution of pseudotuberculosis infection among rodents and the identity of the biological properties of strains isolated from rodents and from man allows us to regard rodents as one of the reservoirs of pseudotuberculosis infection in man.
