A total of 78 strains of Haemophilus vaginalis were examined for 104 features. All strains fermented dextrin, maltose, and starch. Additionally, more than 90% of the strains fermented galactose, glucose, and ribose. Arbutin, cellobiose, melibiose, rhamnose, and salicin were not fermented by any of these strains. None of the strains acidified any of 14 alcohols or alkalinized any of 25 organic salts and amides. More than 90% of the strains hemolyzed human blood agar and hydrolyzed hippurate. No strain hemolyzed sheep blood agar. A recommendation is included for those minimal features that best differentiate H. vaginalis from other oxidase- and catalase-negative, gram-negative organisms.
共对78株阴道嗜血杆菌进行了104项特征检测。所有菌株均能发酵糊精、麦芽糖和淀粉。此外,超过90%的菌株能发酵半乳糖、葡萄糖和核糖。这些菌株均不能发酵熊果苷、纤维二糖、蜜二糖、鼠李糖和水杨苷。没有菌株能使14种醇类中的任何一种酸化,也没有菌株能使25种有机盐和酰胺中的任何一种碱化。超过90%的菌株能溶解人血琼脂并水解马尿酸盐。没有菌株能溶解绵羊血琼脂。文中还给出了一些最小特征的建议,这些特征能最好地将阴道嗜血杆菌与其他氧化酶和过氧化氢酶阴性的革兰氏阴性菌区分开来。
