Biochemical characterization of H2S-positive Salmonella sendai strains isolated in Hong Kong.
The biochemical properties of 8 H2S-positive variant strains of Salmonella sendai isolated from patients and carriers in Hong Kong were studied. Apart from the production of H2S, all these strains showed typical properties of S. sendai and a dependence on tryptophan. Their capacity to utilize different forms of sulphur sources varied, ranging from being capable of utilizing SO4, SO3, S2O3 and cystein to only cystein as the sulphur source.
