Effect of aerosol age on the infectivity of airborne Pasteurella tularensis for Macaca mulatta and man.

Sawyer, William D. (U.S. Army Medical Unit, Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.), Joseph V. Jemski, Arthur L. Hogge, Jr., Henry T. Eigelsbach, Elwood K. Wolfe, Harry G. Dangerfield, William S. Gochenour, Jr., and Dan Crozier. Effect of aerosol age on the infectivity of airborne Pasteurella tularensis for Macaca mulatta and man. J. Bacteriol. 91:2180-2184. 1966.-In aging aerosols of Pasteurella tularensis SCHU-S4, the respiratory infectivity for man and Macaca mulatta decreased more rapidly than the viability of the organisms. Infectivity was diminished after 120 min, and was reduced 10-fold after 180 min. These findings confirmed previous observations made in mice and guinea pigs, and also revealed that smaller losses of infectivity were detectable in the primate hosts.

Isolation of Antigens of Pasteurella pestis I. Lipopolysaccharide-Protein Complex and R and S Antigens.

Larrabee, Allan R. (Fort Detrick, Frederick, Md.), John D. Marshall, and Dan Crozier. Isolation of antigens of Pasteurella pestis. I. Lipopolysaccharide-protein complex and R and S antigens. J. Bacteriol. 90:116-119. 1965.-Pasteurella pestis contains at least 18 different antigens, 2 of which will protect experimental animals from challenge infection. A specific polysaccharide isolated and described as a hapten was isolated as a complete antigen. Two additional antigens were isolated from P. pestis. The preparation of antisera directed against these three antigens and the content of protein, lipid, and carbohydrate of each preparation were studied. None of the preparations will protect mice from challenge infection with virulent P. pestis. A basis for naming the new antigens which does not conflict with previously published designations is presented.
