Recent literature concerning enteropathogenesis and drug resistance transfer factors in Escherichia coli are summarized as well as related papers concerning the use of antibiotics in animal feed. E. coli infection in swine (colibacillosis) also is considered, especially citations indicating the similarity between the disease in man and animals. The role of intestinal bacteria in human health is reviewed, emphasizing the importance of (a) a maintained balance of organisms in the adult, (b) breast feeding in infants to establish a large population of bifidobacteria and (c) the presence of Lactobacillus organisms to maintain healthful conditions in the human vagina. The use of Lactobacillus organisms in intestinal and vaginal disease therapy is reviewed as well as the important ecological role that lactic acid bacteria play in the natural scheme where man is concerned.

Abstract I studied the rate at which gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2) and acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) activities decrease in the healthy human vagina after coitus. Specimens from the coital and non-coital vagina, and from the rectum and buccal cavity, and pre-ejaculate lubricating fluid were also assayed for both enzymes. Prostatic acid phosphatase was determined with use of two substrates: thymolphthalein monophosphate and alpha-naphthyl phosphate (tartrate-inhibitable fraction). Glutamyltransferase was assayed with gamma-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide as substrate. All non-coital specimens were negative for glutamyltransferase activity; the activity of acid phosphatase varied with type of substrate and type of specimen. The equation y = a + (b/x) describes the decline in activity (y) of either acid phosphatase or glutamyltransferase in the vagina of healthy women post-coitally with time (x).

Lactobacillus crispatus is a commonly found bacterium in vertebrate microbiota, particularly the human vagina. We report the first complete genome of a strain isolated from a human vagina, L. crispatus CO3MRSI1.
