Branhamella catarrhalis: fatty acid and lipopolysaccharide analysis of an atypical strain from blood culture

J Wüst et al. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

A Branhamella catarrhalis-like organism was isolated from blood cultures; it was atypical in showing negative nitrate and nitrite and positive gamma-glutamylaminopeptidase reactions, in agglutinating with Neisseria meningitidis antisera, and in forming butyrous colonies. Cell-wall fatty-acid and lipopolysaccharide analysis provided evidence that this isolate was an atypical B. catarrhalis.
