Summary: | Studies were made on the biochemical behavior of 100 strains of P.pestis isolated in Northeastern Brazil with regard to production of nitrous acid, reduction of nitrates to nitrltes, and aciáification of glycerol. Results showed that 98 strains can be classified as "orientalis variety", while the remaining two could not be included in any of the existing "varieties".
Os autores estudaram o comportamento bioquímico de 100 amostras de P.pestis isoladas no Nordeste do Brasil em relação ao glicerol, produção de ácido nitroso, e redução de nitratos a nitritos. Encontraram 98% das amostras pertencendo à "variedade orientalis" e 2% não enquadrada sem nenhuma classificação das chamadas "variedades geográficas" de P. pestis. |
