The API (Analytab Products, Inc., New York, N.Y.) biotypes of 117 clinical isolates of Serratia marcescens were determined and fell into 13 different patterns. The O and H antigens were determined by tube agglutination, and 27 serotypes were identified. The biotype and serotype appeared to vary indepently. Serotyping and biotyping combined divided these isolates into 56 different types. There was a problem interpreting the end points for inositol fermentation and urease production, which could affect reproducibility of API biotypes. Biotyping is a simple way of screening for possible nosocomial outbreaks of S. marcescens.
测定了117株粘质沙雷氏菌临床分离株的API(Analytab Products公司,纽约州纽约市)生物型,其分为13种不同模式。通过试管凝集法测定O抗原和H抗原,鉴定出27种血清型。生物型和血清型似乎独立变化。血清分型和生物分型相结合将这些分离株分为56种不同类型。在解释肌醇发酵和尿素酶产生的终点时存在问题,这可能会影响API生物型的可重复性。生物分型是筛查粘质沙雷氏菌可能的医院内暴发的一种简单方法。
