The cell wall carbohydrates of 43 strains of Haemophilus ducreyi isolated in different parts of the world were subjected to lectin analysis using commercial panels containing 14 different plant lectins of known specificity. Preliminary evidence indicated both intrastrain and inter-strain variation in cell wall carbohydrate composition. In addition, it was possible to group strains from different geographical areas by lectin agglutination patterns. Lectin typing might thus become a useful marker system for epidemiological investigation of Haemophilus ducreyi infections.
使用包含14种已知特异性的不同植物凝集素的商业试剂盒,对从世界各地分离出的43株杜克雷嗜血杆菌的细胞壁碳水化合物进行凝集素分析。初步证据表明,细胞壁碳水化合物组成存在菌株内和菌株间的差异。此外,根据凝集素凝集模式可以对来自不同地理区域的菌株进行分组。因此,凝集素分型可能成为杜克雷嗜血杆菌感染流行病学调查的一种有用的标记系统。
