The biochemical characteristics of 68 clinical and 5 environmental Plesiomonas shigelloides isolates were determined. The reactions for ONPG, phenylalanine deaminase, motility, lactose fermentation and salicin fermentation were different from previously published findings. The reactions of the clinical and environmental isolates were very similar. The isolates were also tested for the presence of plasmids, and 40% of the strains were found to harbor between one and seven plasmids. The findings of this study will be useful for the identification and characterization of this recently recognized enteric pathogen.
测定了68株临床分离株和5株环境分离株的类志贺邻单胞菌的生化特性。对硝基酚-β-D-半乳糖苷(ONPG)、苯丙氨酸脱氨酶、动力、乳糖发酵和水杨苷发酵的反应与先前发表的结果不同。临床分离株和环境分离株的反应非常相似。还对分离株进行了质粒检测,发现40%的菌株携带1至7个质粒。本研究结果将有助于对这种最近才被认识的肠道病原体进行鉴定和表征。
