The properties and characteristics of 296 Proteus strains isolated from hospital patients and from sewage have been examined with a view to determining those characters which are of most use in following and detecting cross-infection.Ninety-six per cent of the organisms isolated were P. mirabilis and it was found that by identifying biotypes and by phage typing the species could be divided into a relatively large number of groups which would be useful for epidemiological investigation.
对从医院患者和污水中分离出的296株变形杆菌菌株的特性进行了检查,目的是确定那些在追踪和检测交叉感染中最有用的特征。分离出的微生物中有96%是奇异变形杆菌,并且发现通过鉴定生物型和噬菌体分型,该物种可分为相对大量的组,这将有助于流行病学调查。
