Isolation and characterization of mucoid and non-mucoid Salmonella oranienburg isolated from pleural effusion of a patient with hemolytic anemia.
Salmonella oranienburg, mucoid and non-mucoid strains, were simultaneously isolated as causative agents from the pleural effusion of a patient with hereditary spherocytosis. The mucoid-typed Salmonella oranienburg was characterized by serological examination, taking advantage of the high frequency of mucoid (M) to non-mucoid (N) variation.
