Motley, M, Sarafian, S K, Knapp, J S, Zaidi, A A, Schmid, G
We determined the susceptibilities of 94 strains of Haemophilus ducreyi isolated in various municipalities in the United States between 1982 and 1989 to the following antimicrobial agents:...
Morse, S A, Mintz, C S, Sarafian, S K, Bartenstein, L, Bertram, M, Apicella, M A
Growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain FA171 in continuous culture under glucose-limiting conditions resulted in a growth-rate-dependent change in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The evidence for this...
Analysis of an outbreak of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Rhode Island, 1987.
Debuono, B A, Opal, S M, Sarafian, S K, Lyhte, L W
In June of 1987, an outbreak of penicillinase-producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) occurred in Rhode Island. PPNG persists as an endemic pathogen despite a concerted statewide effort to eradicate...
Binding of S protein by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and potential role in invasion.
Arko, R J, Chen, C Y, Schalla, W O, Sarafian, S K, Taylor, C L, Knapp, J S, ...
An agglutination assay was used to examine the binding of purified human S protein (vitronectin, serum spreading factor) to 201 clinical isolates of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Strains belonging to the...
Molecular characterization of Haemophilus ducreyi by ribosomal DNA fingerprinting.
Sarafian, S K, Woods, T C, Knapp, J S, Swaminathan, B, Morse, S A
Intraspecies genotypic heterogeneity among Haemophilus ducreyi isolates was examined by using genomic fingerprints with rRNA from Escherichia coli as a probe. DNA from 44 isolates of H. ducreyi was...
Novel plasmid combinations in Haemophilus ducreyi isolates from Thailand.
Sarafian, S K, Johnson, S R, Thomas, M L, Knapp, J S
Thirty isolates of Haemophilus ducreyi collected in Thailand in 1984 were characterized by plasmid content. Three novel plasmids with estimated molecular masses of 1.8, 2.6, and 2.8 MDa were observed...

Reactivity of the limulus lysate assay with uterine cervical secretions. A preliminary evaluation.
Young, H, Sarafian, S K, McMillan, A
A limulus lysate assay was performed on cervical secretions from 66 women. When secretions were tested at a 1/100 dilution the assay gave a positive result in 15 (62.5%) of 24 patients with...
