HYDROFOBOWE I HEMAGLUTYNACYJNE WŁAŚCIWOŚCI PAŁECZEK KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE I KLEBSIELLA OXYTOCA
[HYDROPHOBIC AND HEMAGGLUTINATING PROPERTIES OF KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE AND KLEBSIELLA OXYTOCA]

Streszczenie.

Oceniono hydrofobowe i hemaglutynacyjne właściwości 100 szczepów K. pneumoniae i 88 szczepów K. oxytoca izolowanych z próbek materiału klinicznego. Dokonano także analizy związku pomiędzy hydrofobowymi i hemaglutynacyjnymi właściwościami badanych izolatów.

Abstract.

The aim of this study was to estimated hydrophobic and hemnagglutinating properties of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Klebsiella oxytoca rods. The hydrophobcity was evaluated according to the method of Rosenberg et al. The hemagglutinating properties were estimated by method of Blanco et al. Forty seven hydrophobic Klebsiella strains (30 K. pneumoniae strains and 17 K. oxytoca strains)
were detected. Hemagglutinating properties were observed in 65 Klebsiella strains (45 K. pneumoniae
strains and 20 K. oxytoca strains). Hemagglutination of sheep tannined erythrocytes the most frequently was observed. Inhibition of hemagglutination of erythrocytes by K. pneumoniae strains was most frequently observed in presence of D-glucose and D-mannose and by K. oxytoca strains in presence of D-glucose.
