The number of strains of @entity795 studied was 413, and these were obtained from all clinical materials with the exception of fecal specimens. @entity1132 was fermented by 37 strains (P. inconstans, 29%; @entity20996 , 16%; @entity9700 , 4.2%; @entity11889 , 3.6%; and @entity19321 , 0%) of which 33 were from the genitourinary system. These 33 strains constituted 12.7% of the 260 strains isolated from this source. Biochemically, @entity9700 was the least variable, and @entity20996 was the most variable of the five species of @entity795 tested. P. inconstans and @entity20996 resembled each other more closely than any of the other species of @entity795 . Comparison of results obtained in the Memphis area with those found in other locations showed that biochemical characteristics varied most with the substances @entity1792 , @entity28294 , @entity6122 , @entity7970 , and @entity2656 . In contrast to earlier reports from Israel and England, none of the strains of P. inconstans in the present study was able to attack @entity1133 . All five species of @entity795 tested (by the disc method) were highly susceptible to @entity1332 mandelate. @entity9700 , @entity11889 , and @entity19321 were also highly susceptible to @entity6616 . All strains of @entity9700 were susceptible to @entity869 . P. inconstans was the most resistant species of @entity795 . Of the other 356 urease-positive strains tested, 79% were susceptible to @entity2755 , whereas only 3.8% of the 56 urease-negative strains (P. inconstans) were susceptible. When tested with @entity3639 , 61% of urease-positive strains were susceptible and 1.8% of the urease-negative strains were susceptible. Of 36 @entity1132 -positive strains, 33.8% were susceptible to @entity2755 , whereas 72.8% of all @entity1132 -negative strains were susceptible. Again, of the @entity1132 -positive strains, 17% were susceptible to @entity3639 , whereas 56.3% of all @entity1132 -negative strains were susceptible.
