The characteristics of seven strains of Streptobacillus moniliformis, including four isolates from a recent outbreak of Haverhill fever, are reported. Acid production from carbohydrates was uniform apart from variable reactions with mannose and salicin. Enzymatic reactions determined by the API ZYM system and fatty-acid profiles were generally consistent and may be of value in the rapid identification of S. moniliformis. Penicillin was the most active of the antibiotics tested in vitro, which supports its use as the drug of choice in the treatment of Haverhill fever.
报告了七株念珠状链杆菌的特征，其中包括从近期一次哈弗希尔热暴发中分离出的四株。除了对甘露糖和水杨苷的反应有所不同外，碳水化合物产酸情况较为一致。通过API ZYM系统测定的酶促反应和脂肪酸谱总体上是一致的，可能对快速鉴定念珠状链杆菌有价值。青霉素是体外测试的抗生素中活性最强的，这支持将其作为治疗哈弗希尔热的首选药物。
