Abstract
A total of 109 cultures of Pseudomonas putrefaciens isolated from clinical specimens were studied. The cultures were separated into two groups. The majority of the group 1 isolates, comprising 31 cultures, were characterized by (i) growth in plain nutrient broth, but no growth in broth supplemented with NaCl at concentrations of 7% and above, (ii) no growth on Salmonella-Shigella (SS) agar, and (iii) production of acid from the carbohydrates, sucrose, maltose, arabinose, and dextrin. Most group 2 isolates, comprising 78 cultures, were (i) unable to grow in plain nutrient broth, but grew well in broth supplemented with NaCl at a concentration of 7 to 10%, (ii) able to grow on SS agar, and (iii) unable to produce detectable amounts of acid from any of the carbohydrates tested except for variable results with glucose and fructose.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
