Abstract
Summary
Ten fractions have been isolated from abalone juice by ion exchange chromatography (Cellex-D) and tested for in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Four fractions of effluent showed high activity. One active fraction was tested and found effective against Staphylococcus aureus, (including a penicillin-resistant strain), Streptococcus pyogenes, beta-hemolytic strain, and Salmonella typhi, and paratyphi A and B. The action for Staphylococcus aureus seemingly was bactericidal.
The authors express thanks to Dr. C. W. Hiatt for valuable suggestions and to Dr. R. C. Woodworth, W. C. Jahnes, E. C. Martino and J. L. Rogers for technical assistance.
