INTRODUCTION In the literature of the past 15 years, fragmentary observations have appeared suggesting a serological re- lationship between various species of Brucella and Pasteurella, Brucella and Hemophilus, Brucella and Pfeifferella*, and other combinations. In 1950 Mallmann published a preliminary report of the interagglutinability of the Brucella, Pasteurella, and Pfeifferella genera. He observed quite marked cross agglutination. Using Brucella ab ortus and B3. gigs, immune rabbit serums, he Obtained as high titres with the heterologous antigens as with the homologous ones. No attention.was paid to the state of dissociation of the cultures used. It is well known that when a smooth strain of most genera shifts to its rough fonm, profound antigenic changes occur. Very frequently the rough strain is serolognrally different fram its smooth.prototype. White (193 ) has demonstrated that the rough forms of the species of the genus Salmonella have a.ccmmon rough antigen that is demonstrated serologiially by marked cross agglutination. These same species in the smooth.phase are distinctly different serologically. * Although the genus Pfeifferella has been merged with Actinobacillus in the latest edition of Bergey's "Determin- ative Bacteriology," the name is retained in this thesis so as not to confuse with.other members of the Actinobacillus group. -2- This antigenic relationship of the rough phase of other genera may also be true of the Brucella, Pasteurella, Hemophilus, and Pfeifferella groups. A review of the literature of these genera would indicate that such might be the case. Furthermore, a close examination of the properties and characteristics of these genera shows a very close similarity. For these reasons, a study of the Brucella, Pasteurella, Hemophilus, and Pfeifferella groups has been made. The work consists of morphological studies of both smooth and rough phases of representative species of these genera. II . HIS TOR ICAL RESUME A serological and phys iOIOgical correlation of Brucella and Alkaligenes bronchisepticus was reported by Evans in (1918). In the same year Povitzky and Worth (1918) showed a cross agglutination between 513;. bronchisepticus antigen. They report no cross agglutination between g. pertussis and g. influenzae. Ferry and Hoble (1918) found the same serolog ical relationship between Ag. bronchigepticus and g. pertussis; also a cultural, morphological, and physiological similarity which is more marked after growth for some time on an artificial medium. Francis and Evans (1926) found that 57 per cent of positive tularemia serums showed cross agglutination with \I: -3- BB. abortus and BB, melitensis. In 3 cases the titres were equal for all 3 of these organisms, although as a rule the heterologous titres were lower. Burnet (1127) also reported interagglutinability 0f.§° tularensis and Brucella in tularemia and Mediterranian fever. Huddleson found positive cross agglutination of Pfeifferella1mallei and BB, abortus. In contradiction to the results obtained by Mallmann, Priestly (1933) reported no serological relationship between the Brucella and the Pasteurella genera. Thompson (1933) 1lsted BB. mallei ser010gically with strains of B5, abortus and B. tularentis and found no evidence of cross agglutination. III. HISTORY OF CULTURES All of the following Brucella organisms used in these studies are from.the culture collection of Dr. I. F. Huddleson. BB, abortus 966 was isolated in 1930 from a cow from a Michigan herd. _B_1;. _s_u_:_1._§_ 436 was isolated in 1928 and obtained from Crawford from Washington D. C. BB. melitensis 316 is of human origin. It was obtained from Dr. Burnet, Pasteur Institute, Tunis, Algeria, and dissociated by Mallmann and Gallo (1933). B15. melitensis 384 was isolated in 1929 frcm a mammary lymph node of a goat. BB. abortus 4a was isolated in 1924 from an aborted 53‘3"" 1).)! iv. 1 «I‘ll. 1.1! wt!) -4- fetus from a cow from the Michigan State College experimental herd. It was dissociated by Mallmann and Gallo (1933 ). E13: ,s_1_11_§ 404 was isolated in 1922 from a premature fetal pig frcm a naturally infected sow. It was received from J. W. Connaway, University of Missouri. This was also dissociated by Mallmann and Gallo (1933 ). Br. _s_y_i_s_ 401 was isolated in 1925. The source of the culture is not known. It was obtained from Purdue University. B_I_‘. melitensis 319 was obtained from Dr.K. F. Meyer, Hooper Foundation, San Francisco, May 10, 1921. BB. abortus 5a was in the laboratory prior to 1916. Bpsteurella avicida was obtained from the Michigan State College stock culture collection. Pasteurella tularensis 38 was a non pathogenic strain from Dr. Francis, obtained. from the Michigan State Department of Health culture collection. B. bovisepticus was isolated from a buffalo with hemorrhagic septicemia. It was obtained from the Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D. C. B. pertussis was obtained from the Michigan State Department of Health culture collection. B. influenzae 1601 was obtained from the Michigan State Deparmnent of Health culture collect ion. It was rough when obtained. BB. mallei was obtained from the Michigan State College stock culture collection. It was rough when obtained. -5- BB. mallei F87 was obtained from the Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D. C. IV. EXPERIMENTAL 1. Bacteriological Studies of Smooth Strains. Bergey (1930) classifies the organisms of the Brucella, Pasteurella, Hemophilus, and Pfeifferella groups as minute Gram negative bacteria with a tendency to bi- polar staining in the Hemophilus and Pasteurella genera. All the organisms used in the following studies are non- motile. With the exception of B. avicida all, are inactive in carbohydrate media, none of them producing acid or gas. B.inf1uenzae, B, pertussis, B. tularensis, B. _e_g__u_.’_i_- septicus, and the Brucella group are aerobes. B. avicida and Bf.mallei are facultative aerobes. All organisms used produce small grayish colonies. BB. mallei liquefies gelatin very slowly. No other organisms of these groups liquefy gelatin. There is, thus among all of these genera a close morphological and physiological similarity of organisms. Table I on the following page gives the characteristics of these bacteria as found in Bergey‘s manual of Determin- ative Bacteriology, (1933 ). -6- mew .m uaom .m . * " vacuums" mmomno « .mao Hows. mowamxas u Mafia u u mssuHH uses" on u cmmssWoosu hapmmfiam “ msapwH " m domfimn .Hmu Nmmaoo "nausea Mamet «1 mm {M u cyan; hsnm u mMHH monwummon cssonm u u pswam meme u " camouom “ m>fipspfisomMm “ “ cammnos “ u .m no .w on u .m o: caomwam no .m cow..m so .m 0s" HOpfioqu “ u .m no .m on u .m on owedu.m so .w on“ .m no .m on“ mmonosm « u .m no .m on u .m on efiomu.m no .s on" .m no .o on" omOpomHsm u u .m no .e on u .m on cfiosu.m no .m on" .w no .s on“ omoasboa “ u .w no .m on u .m on cfiomu.m so .o on“ .m no .o on" omonpmow u u u a 4.1 is. u seesaw.“ " u won u s “ now u poo u mmwmauao « u u u 4. w 4. eosnow " u poo “ u u poo u poo " Hoes“ “ w u «t J u pamdm Cuspomw " u u u u condemns « w 4.1 u m1 “ “2..me cpspomem “ u u u u doaflaanmmmu e w w u damam th> u moasoaoo m u u " "pneumomsmnp « name cooHn “ u u " .wHH on u " pmpm u u .oHH on u .wHH on Aesosm sqflm u u naemamm u u u “ mnfiem " u n u hamoflm " "coo hflmsfim “ hamqfim “ museum u u neaomlfip n .8339 u u u u u .mmo smmw,u .moo_smmnnm .mms swam u .mos swam u msflsaswm " u oaawoauoos u oHHpQSusoo ”manpostsos “ cawpoannoo " hpwaflpoa u u 0.7313 “ nee; an " senses E n 9790 mm" 3023.38" “ mac n v.01mm. u e.onm.o "Im.owe.o “ mo mmHmu “ msowpmcm m ocaoabo “ mamsmpfiamau anemone u u 0.259 .Wflu W}. .Hm u .Hm u Anne: Esteem .mfieam efisoflom a; 3 new: mafia/3% a; so moEmHmmaogo fie $0qu memo nae. $0588is . .H 323 1‘“!.3¢JHJU’ -63- mom snow .o w " ewes 3.3 “ nee omen seen .. sis :1 fins“ " .mooo once u " nnoaooov .Mflou ongonm onH mssan" " u u pnoosamnonp u mooomnnu mo “ u u u anownHmm ” .omnn Seam“ anode news 0 u obnpopaooomu emponco u onponmo «1 u onponoo u u .m no .m on w .m no .o o «w. .m.no .o on“ .m no .o on" Hounnnoa " u .m no .o on“ .m no .o on" .m no .o on“ .m no .o on" ooonoom u u .m no .o on u .m no .o on“ .m no .o on" .w no .o on" weepooaom u u .w no .o on n .m no .o on“ .m no .o on" .m no .o on“ omoaonma " u .m no .o on u .m no .o on" .w no .s on" .m no .o on“ mmonFMou “ w 4‘ mopnnpnn w . m condemn u " (Pen u on " non " « mowonpnn “ u" 1d, mnnmnpm w w " cmsnow “ m: won u osom " non " u Hoonm “ .1 u u w. “woman Opmpoqu u n u a " vflngfiou " W1 a; u "woman Opopomlw " a u u " mounflnnowm « «I " Hamem wnmn t HHmEmIHnmn " “ mmnnoaoo w u " pnonoomnonp u .wnmnonmnonp" " news ocean " w u «I u :1 “ nova “ u u Ansonm on“ ongonm on n " nnwmamm u m tonnage Namnomw " u u u hamnnm u mnnon " mnnon ” u u u hHHoSms " one nwmnnm u woo hamnnm u hamnnm “ Ansonm " u " noaomnp u nwaomnp " noHomnp w u " .mmn Edna u .mon.asn¢ u .won Bone u .mon Sana u mnwnnmvm " u u " u.m, (it u (wild m u manpoaunon " onnoEunon “ mampoaunon u manpoaunon u .hpmfinuoa u " o.n u m.HINn u o.m cm.o Nd u o.m u n.0rwp «(p.01 n.01Hm" mnonodanmconm u 620 n mm.

For about 3 months stock cultures of.B._p§rtussis and B. influenzae were held upon blood chicken infusion agar, and B, tularensis upon chicken infusion agar containing 0.1 percent cystine. However, the colonial appearance of the cultures remained the same upon chicken infusion agar without the blood or cystine and these ingredients were omitted from the stock medium. All organisms were checked morphologically and physiologically with Bergey's classification of these genera. The size of the rods of the same culture varied. Sometimes they appeared as cocci and at other examinations the organisms were definitely bacilli. However, they were never long rods when in the S colonial state. Bipolar staining was not noted in the organisms with an S colonial appearance. All of the colonies were small, gray, glistening and moist with smooth edges and surface. ,B. avicida although tested several times, at no time produced acid in 0.5 percent sucrose chicken infusion broth with Andrade's indicator. ‘B. tularensis grew in milk. This is contrary to Bergey. This may have been.due to the fadt that this was an old culture accustomed to growing upon artificial media. The reactions of all of the other cultures in litmus milk were the same as Bergey's a .ru. was “in... all. ~ “.2. o 4.. ‘8- .BB. mallei S was lost before it was checked for its ability to liquefy gelatin in a stab culture. .BB. mallei R did not liquefy gelatin. No other organism of these groups attacked gelatin which was also true according to Bergey.

' Positive serum.from a naturally infected cow. - 20 - There is marked cross agglutination between the Brucella, Pasteurella, Hemophilus and Pfeifferella genera as shown in the preceding table. The Brucella immune serums agglutinated all antigens, usually giving a slightly higher titre for their Specific antigens. ‘Pi. mallei S antigen.did not give a positive titre in a dilution greater than 1 to 80 with smooth immune serwm. With rough immune serums a slightly higher titre was produced and positive abortus serum from naturally infected cow agglu- tinated 2:. mallei S in as high dilutions as it did its homologous antigens. Some of the species antiserum of each of the other genera used agglutinated some Species of all genera in dilutions as high as l to 1,280. The agglutinating titres of B3. abortus and g. pertussis S antigens, with all serums were more nearly parallel,than either antigen showed with other members of its own group, although @2- abortus and g. pertussis S antiserums did not agglutinate equally with all antigens. g, pertussis S serum agglutinated g. avicida S and R strains in dilutions equal to its homologous antigens. ,2. avicida S serum showed only slightly less agglutination for g. pgrtussis S but only one half this titre for g._pertussis R. Pf. mallei R serum gave a low titre for g. avicida S and R, the titre being approximately equal for both strains. 2. avicida 3 serum gave a low titre for g§.:mallei S and R - 21 - antigens. .g. avicida R serum agglutinated both in a slightly higher dilution. Tables VI and VII contain the agglutination data for the rough immune serums. The R serums gave a higher titre for the specific R antigens than for the homologous S antigens. However for the heterologous agglutination, sometimes the titre was higher for an R serum and an R antigen, sometimes for an R serum and S antigen, and in.some cases the same titre for both 3 and R was shown. In general the Brucella R serums gave a rather higher titre for heterologous S antigens than homologous S antigens. Likewise the S Brucella antigens seemed to show more agglutination for the heterologous R serums than those of their own group. ' 22 - TABLISVI.

The picture for the interactions of the S antiserums with homologous and heterologous antigens was much the same as for the R antiserums. Tables VIII and IX show these data. Higher titres for specific antigens and antiserums were shown with a varying relationship of the heterologous serums and antigens. The g, pertussis S immune serum with Ba. abortus 966 S antigen gave a higher titre than with the B3. abortus 4a R antigen. §.pertussis S immune serum with P. tularensis S and R antigen gave a higher titre for the R antigen, practically none being shown for the S strain, ,g. avicida S and R cultures have a large and equal amount of agglutination for their Specific antiserums and for §;_pertussis S immune serums The data for positive abortus serum from a naturally infected cow were interesting. For some cultures demon- strating twice as high a titre for the S strain as for the R and for others twice as high a titre for the R as the S strain. In the Pasteurella genera, aside from the specific agglutination of g. avicida S serum and 3. tularensis S serum.with their specific antigens, the agglutination titres of the S Pasteurella serums were higher for the R antigens. -24..

But these antigens made up on different dates, although apparently in the same stage of dissociation, will give varying titres with the same serum. Not only is the agglu- tinating antigen a cause of varied results, but the state of dissociation of the cultures used for immunization will, of course, control the amount of’S or R agglutinin in the antiserum produced. Some of the cultures used in these studies have been held in stock for several years as evidenced by the culture histories. Thus they are likely of different serological ccmposition than recently isolated organisms. McKenzie, Fitzgerald and Irons (1955) in studies of S and R variants of‘g schotmulleri, §_morgani and Shigella paragygenteriae (Flexner), state that their "results appear to demonstrate that serological, morphological and physiological characters are capable of independent variation during the dissociative processes.“ A dissociation apparent only serologizally may have taken place. While there can.be no doubt of a marked serologizal relation between these groups of organisms the state of dissociation influences this interagglutinability. This may'explain the inability of some to find cross agglutination of these groups or organisms. For this reason agglutinin absorption studies have been made to determine whether the S agglutinogens of one organism are the same as the R agglutinogens of another or whether some apparently S organisms are more R than S or so called R strains are more S than R. -26- 8. Agglutinin Absorption Studies. Agglutinin absorption studies of eadh immune serum were made of all antigens showing a positive cross agglutination in dilutions of 1 to 40 or over. For agglutinin absorption all serums were diluted 1 to 50 with 0.1 per cent salt solution containing 0.1 per cent phenol. To avoid dilution the growth was washed from 1 slant culture with 5.5 cc. of diluted serum. This was absorbed at 57°C for 1.5 hours. This super- natant solution was decanted to another Slant, absorbed the same length of time at 57°C., again centrifuged, and finally titrated against the absorbing antigen. This was sufficient absorption for some of the serums. Those which were not completely absorbed were incubated with another dose of antigen, for 1.5 hours and held over night in the ice box to completely remove the Specific agglutinins. For still other serums it was necessary to dilute the immunt serum with physiological saline. This made the gglutinin absorption less Specific. Otherwise it was im- possible to completely absorb the agglutinins with one antigen, for another antigen of the same organism, but grown at a different time. That is, unless the absorbing antigen.and the antigen used for testing complete absorption for specific agglutinins were not made up at the same time the result was the same as though two different organisms had been used. For the absorption in physiological saline a dilution of 0.1 cc. of serum in 0.6 cc. of 0.86 per cent saline was used. After absorption sufficient distilled water was added (diluted 8 times) to make an approximately 1 to 50 dilution -27- which at the same time produced a 0.1 per cent salt solution for titrations, the same serum and salt dilution which had been used in the other titrations. The absorptions with the R Brucella antigens were made in this way. After the immune serums had been absorbed the agglutination titre of each was tested again with each antigen which had previously Shown a positive cross agglutination in dilutions of l to 40 or over. The following tables Show the results of agglutinin absorption and the cross agglutination titres after absorption compared with cross agglutination results before absorption. The first column for each serum in these tables are the original titres of the unabsorbed serums with the homologous and heterologous R and S antigens. These titres are represented by the number of the1nbe of greatest dilution showing an agglutination of a turbidity of 2 or greater. The dilutions are designated as (l) l-20, (2) 1-40, (5) 1-80, (4) 1-160, (5) 1-520, (5) 1-640, (7) 1-1280, (84 1-2560, (9) 1-5120. The second column for each serum presents the titres of the absorbed serums with the homologous and heterologous S and R antigens. The dilutions are designated as (1) 1-50, (2) 1-100, (3) 1-200, (4) 1-400, (5) 1-800, (6) 1-1600, (7) 1-5200. CROSS AGGLUT INATION OF 8 AND R IMMUNE SERUMS, ABSORBED BY BR.

H. pertussis S immune serum absorbed by g. avicida R antigen agglutinated 2. avicida S antigen.in a slightly lower titre than before absorption, but H. pertussis S antigen was agglutinated in l to 50 dilution as compared to l to 1280 dilution, the original titre of the unabsorbed serun. Every attempt to show an absolute serological simiharity between any two organisms has resulted in just such data as shown above, complete absorption or the absence of absorption when the opposite might be eXpected. Many of the tests which gave varying results which could be questioned as error, have been repeated with the same absorbed serum and the same antigen. The same titre was found each.time. I-.I,V -45.. The cross agglutination studies of these 4 genera have shown apparently inconsistentrssults. The results of the agglutinin absorption studies were doubly varied, for instead of one variable factor there were two, the agglutin- ating antigen and th€,absorhing antigen. The antigens for titration of absorbed senrms were made up in quantities sufficient to last several weeks. Thezabsorbing organisms were freshly transferred and cultured each time that they were used. This probably in some cases eXplains the difficulty found in completely absorbing the specific agglutinins. Although bacteriologically apparently the same antigens were used for absorbing and for the agglutinating check on suificient absorption of the specific agglutinins, two serologically different organisms may have develOped. -46- V. DISCUSSION The cross agglutination studies have shown that there is interagglutinability of these genera and the agglutinin absorption results have emphasized this fact. It has also emphasized the fact that agglutination titres are influenced by the state of dissociation of the cultures used as antigens. In many instances the lad; of correlation between members of’tke sane genera in the quantity of agglutinin produced and the agglutinogen is as great as the variation between members of different genera. Previous reports of dissociation and serological classification of each of these groups demonstrate this same irreguhirity of results. Evans (1918) found fig. abortus and g3. melitensis to be alike morphologically, culturally, biochemicallyzand serologically. She found that g3, abortus antiserums with.§3. abortus or garmelitensis antigens gave the same titre, but g3. melitensis antigen with g;. abortus and 23. melitensis serums gave a different titre for each. She concludes that gg.eabortus and fig. melitensis antiserums contain more than one agglutinin, that the agglutinin in the two antiserums are alike in kind but differ in proportion and that the correSponding agglutinogens are present in the antigens in corresponding variation. Feusier amn heyer (1920) divided the abortus and IQIW In _ -‘17- melitensis strains into 4 groups by agglutinin absorption tests. Evans (1925) divided the Brucella organisms into 7 groups by agglutinin absorption tests and Burnet (1925) also by agglutination and agglutinin absorption tests divided them into 2 types. rcutt (1926) wonking with 6 strains found no serological distinction. Two melitensis strains were found to be identical with the bovine and swine strains by means of agglutination and agglutinin absorption studies. Carpenter and Beak (1929) because of the serological difference shown between the R variants suggested a division of the H3. abortus strains into 2 groups. The reason for this kaleidoscopic appearance of tfle cross agglutination and agglutinin absorption results of the Brucella group seems to be given by Zdrodowski, Brenn and Voskressinski (1950) who state that the R and S forms showed distinct serologhzal differentiation. The organisms charged their serological and bacteriological positions according to their state of dissociation. Also Blastridge and.chlpine (1932) divided the abortus and melitensis organisms into 5 serological groups. Evidence of variation in serological properties of the genus Brucella, especially g3. melitensis under odinary'laboratory con- ditions has been noted and discussed from the standpoint of explaining the lack of agreement in results reported by various investigators. The strains are not correlated into the same groups serologically and biologically. -48- These reports would seem.to show a serolOgical differ- ence when a cultural, morphological, and physiological variation was not visible. In the present attempt to correlate the Brucella, Pasteurella, Hemophilus, and Pfeiffer- ella groups the only characteristic used to determine the R or 8 type of organism has been its colonial appearance. hackenzie, Eitderald and Irons (1933) in a study of the independent variation of the biological characteristics of bacteria as a result of dissociation, state that the "agglutinative, agglutogenic absorptive qualities" vary independently of each other. In the reversion of the R cultures back to the 8 types not once vas complete reversion of all characteristics observed. Thus an organism may be smooth according to more concepts, but rough to others. A serological examination of organisms will detect character changes not biochemically or morphologically noted, thus the irregularity in serological classification. A review of work done upon the Pasteurella genera shows the same picture, Varied serological titres from different states ef'dissociation, varied classification of apparently identical cultures. LeKruif (1921) found the coexistence of organisms of different degrees of virulence in cultures of the bacillus of rabbit septicemia. as called the virulent bacteria the D form and the less virulent the G fornt Agglutination tests showed a marked serological difference -49- in these two types of culture. They were morphologically indistinguishable in form and possessed like fermentation reactions. The G form flocculated rapidly in fluid media and formed translucent bluish colonies of low virulence. Lal (1927) has summarized previous work in the correlation of the Pasteurella genera, in part as follows: Gochenour (1924) was unable to distinguish the strain isolated from the tissues of a buffalo from other Peateur- ella organisms by employing cultural, serological and animal protection methods. Tanaka (1926) stated that there is not sulficient difference between the members of the group in agglutination, fermentation, or complement fixation properties to be of diagnostic value. Some investigators divided the group into two or three distinct types, each consisting of a few organisms indistinguishp able from each other, although derived from different animal hosts. Koske (1904) reports 3. avicida indis- tinguishable from 33. spis_by agglutination reactions. Roderick (1922) studied the morpholgocal, cultural, biochemical and immunological prOperties of the Rasteurella genera and divided it into 2 groups, (1) a bovine swine type and (2) an ovine avian-rabbit-cavia type. Vassar- mann and Ostertag (1904), Hutyra and harsh (1912) found that the immune sera against one organism was protective against the homologous infection, but not against the heterologous bacteria of this group. Joest (1906) reports -Sg- that blood serum strongly ii'nmunized against one member of this group will be found protective. Lal concluded from his work that the Pasteurella organisms tested by ic F); complement fixation showed a certain amount of group Speci reaction, an exception being 3. lepisepticum. Homologous stra';s showed a high degree of specific fixation. Although not easily distingiishable the organisms were a distinct Species. Hughes ( 950) by reciprocal agglutination tests with several Stains of g. avicida showed a close serological relationship. Jebster (1850) on the basis of colony formamion divided 2. avicida into three groups. A "fluorescent" colony of high virulence, stable in suSpension found in severe epidemics, a “blue" colony unstable in m uspensions associated with endemics and an "intermediate" 23 3;:- The Hemophilus genera, probably because of its greater instability on artificial media, more than any of the others showed varying serOIOgical results. Particularly was this true of the H. influenzae organisms, a culture which very readily becomes dissociated when.he1d in stock and is very difficult to revert to its original form. Pittman (1951) reported that spontaneous conversion of g. influenzae from its S to R type readily took place in artificial culture media. It may be delayed by certain cultural procedures or hastened by growth.in type specific antiserum, The artificia1.conversion of'R strains to the S form has been Observed, but this change is carried out only with difficulty. Bordet and Sleeswyck (1910) found in freshly isolated g. pertussis organisms grown.on chocolate agar and plain agar, a serological difference. Old stock strains did not show this difference. Krumwiede and Mishulow (1925) in studies of a series of strains of g. pertussis of typical morphological and cultural characteristics, divided them into two groups by agglutinin absorption tests. Leslie and Gardner (1951) by cross agglutination and agglutinin absorption divided 52 strains of g. pertussis into four serological groups. All freshly isolated organisms fell into one group. By growth on various media all cultures have been changed tozall into all four types. Roos (1919) concluded that the various strains of influenzae do not differ in Kind as indicated by cross agglutination and agglutinin absorption tests. Valentine and COOper (1919) reported that their results indicated that under the term "B. influenzae" they were dealing with a group oiiorganisms which were heterOgenous in character as determined by immunological reactions, cross agglutination, and agglutinin absorption tests. Povitzky and Denny (1921) found 4 to 7 influenzal meningitis strains, isolated years apart, proved by agglutinin absorption, to be of one type. Fran the respiratory cases 5 strains from different individuals were obtained which were of the same type. No other groups of more 2 members were obtained. In general they found that strains of the same immunological characteristics had the same cultural -52- properties, but there were some exceptions. Jordan and Sharp (1922) found that as a rule each strain of g, influenzae possessed a serolOgical individuality. Occasionally strains from different sources were serologically identical. Repetition of agglutination tests with.the same strain antigen and serum did not give identical results. At scme time almost every serum a glutinated every antigen, although at other times the results were negative. They found cross agglutination between 3. pertussis and g. influenza . Five strains of g. pertussis agglutinated in dilutions of 1 to 50 or 1 u; 100 with serums obtained from two different rabbits immunized against an influenzae strain. The serums of two other influenzae immunized rabbits did not show agglutination. These antiserums against 6 strains of.Alk. bronchisepticus gave negative titres. 2ittman (1951) by means of cross precipitation and agglutination reactions divided 15 8 strains into 2 serological groups. Dovitzky (1918) showed that g;. mallei gave variable serologi:a1 reactions under different conditions of growth. Only 1 strain out of 15 in the stock collection p:oved constant in serological reactions, and that only when great care was exercised in the preparation of the culture medium. .:.s~‘. VI . SULLJLRY. To Show the relationship between the Brucella, Pasteur- ella, Hanophilns and the Pfeiiferella.genera, bacteriological, morphological, cultural, physiological.ard serological (cross gglutination and agglutinin absorption) studies have been made 01' these organisms in their smooth and rough forms. The dissociation state of these bacteria has been determined by colonial appearance alone. Cultures which have been held in stock for many years have been used as well as more recently isolated Strains. These organisns are alike morphologically and physiologically. Immune serum was prouuced by rabbit injection with both smooth and rough strains. Cross agglutination tests showed interagglutinability of all genera used. In ahhaat every case immune serums showed the highest titres with their specific antigens. Rough serums of the Brucella genus have shown higher titres for a smooth heterologous antigens than the smooth types of their own genus. No closer relation was found among the rough forms than among the smooth, either bacteriologically or serologi- cally. an S immune serum often demonstrated higher agglutinability for some S antigens, some R antigens, and sometimes the same titre for both 3 and R heterologous antigens. The reciprocal agglutination and agglutinin absorption tests often varied. This has been explained by the intermediate states of dissociation of cultures used. Although the colonial appearance of the cultures in these tests were checked constantly for deiinite S or R types, '5‘“ I .II I ..vrufis‘. .u. .I.Iu -54.. changes brought about by slight difference in medium composition, temperature of incubator and frequency of transfer over a period of several months, can.be detected only through ser010gical examination and have brought about the results shown. The organisms can not be divided into the same groups by biological and serological classification. The literature shows a marked lack of agreement of serological classifications of all these groups individually. These studies have not only shown the irregularity of serological results within each group of organisms, but tn; the same dissimilarity exists between groups as within groups. This dissimilarity does not detract from the proof of relationship of these genera but rather adds to it. -55- VII. CCLJlLSIOHS (l) The Brucella, Pasteurella, demophilus and Pfeifferella genera are close 3 related morphologically, physiolOQically and serologically. (2) The degree or’their interagglutinability deperds upon the state of'dissocrition of the cultures used for the serologiazlstudies.
