Telavancin in Experimental Murine Pneumococcal Pneumonia
We determined whether telavancin is as active in experimental immunocompetent murine pneumococcal pneumonia as is vancomycin or ceftriaxone. Experimental murine pneumonia was established by intratracheal administration of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Four groups of animals were studied, untreated and treated with vancomycin (110 mg/kg, bid, SQ), telavancin (40 mg/kg, bid, SQ), or ceftriaxone (50 m...
متن کاملLung bacterial clearance in murine pneumococcal pneumonia.
We studied the bactericidal capacity of the rat lung during the development of pneumococcal pneumonia. Pneumonia was produced in a lower lobe by the intrabronchial instillation of 10(4)Streptococcus pneumoniae cells in buffer. Lung bacterial counts progressively increased, reaching 10(7) per lung within 48 h, and the increase was associated with localized atelectasis and consolidation. Bacteria...
متن کاملThe role of pneumolysin in mediating lung damage in a lethal pneumococcal pneumonia murine model
BACKGROUND Intranasal inoculation of Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 serotype 2 causes fatal pneumonia in mice. The cytotoxic and inflammatory properties of pneumolysin (PLY) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal pneumonia. METHODS To examine the role of PLY in this experimental model we performed ELISA assays for PLY quantification. The distribution patterns of PLY and apopto...
متن کاملIncrease of apoptosis in a murine model for severe pneumococcal pneumonia during influenza A virus infection.
The mechanisms of severe pneumonia caused by co-infection of bacteria and influenza A virus (IAV) have not been fully elucidated. We examined apoptosis and inflammatory responses in a murine model for pneumococcal pneumonia during IAV infection. Inflammation, respiratory epithelium apoptosis, and inflammatory-cell infiltration increased in a time dependent manner in the lungs of mice co-inf...
متن کاملWestern blot analysis of antibody response to pneumococcal protein antigens in a murine model of pneumonia.
To detect new antigen candidates for serological tests, we studied the antibody response to pneumococcal protein antigens in mice infected intratracheally with various Streptococcus pneumoniae strains. Sera were tested by Western blotting against whole-cell protein extracts. Mice developed a detectable immunoglobulin G-type response against a small number of polypeptides. The antibody response ...
