Some biological and physical chemical properties of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae
The Cornell Veterinarian
|April 1, 1976
Abstract:
Fourteen strains of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, representing extremes of host-range and world distribution, were examined for: 1) protein composition as determined by electrophoresis and electrofocus patterns, 2) guanine-cytosine mole ratios of their respective deoxyribonucleic acids, and 3) carbohydrate fermentation patterns. No correlation is apparent between any particular physical-chemical property and virulence in mice. The role the bacterial fragments play in the pathogenesis of a rabbit model of rheumatoid arthritis is discussed.
