title: [Morphological properties and adhesiveness of bacteria of the genus Proteus].
abstract: Out of 100 Proteus strains isolated from patients with purulent inflammatory, urological and enteric diseases, from healthy persons and from the environment, 29 stains showed the positive D-mannose-resistant reaction of hemagglutination with chick red blood cells and 18 strains showed such reaction with goose and duck red blood cells. The results of these studies permit the use of chick red blood cells as target cells for the detection of Proteus adhesin. Human red blood cells of groups O, A, B and AB, sheep, bovine, dog, rat and rabbit red blood cells gave no positive D-mannose-sensitive reaction and D-mannose-resistant reaction of hemagglutination. In bacterial cells pili function as organelles which determine Proteus adhesiveness, while flagellae play no positive role.
