Evaluation of humoral and cellular immunity of recombinant autolysin protein Staphylococcus aureus in mouse model
Background: Staphylococcal aureus is a gram positive cocci and opportunistic pathogen. Due to the spread of this bacterium to antibiotics resistance, one of the most important ways of prevention is the use of vaccines. In this respect, autolysin protein as one of the adhesion molecule of bacteria plays an important role for binding bacteria to the host cells and cell division. Herein, the role ...
متن کاملCell-mediated immunity in Cryptococcosis.
Cell-mediated immune responses in patients who had recovered from cryptococcosis were compared to those of healthy subjects. Cryptococcal patients were mildly lymphopenic but showed no defect in percentage of thymus-derived lymphocytes. One-third had positive delayed skin test reactions to cryptococcal antigen. Their skin test reactivity to two commonly used noncryptococcal antigen’s was less i...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous cryptococcosis presenting as a whitlow.
443 Letters to the Editor Sir, Cryptococcosis, an opportunistic yeast infection with Cryptococcus neoformans, remains the most common systemic fungal infection in immunosuppressed patients. Cutaneous cryptococcosis is usually secondary to haema-togenous dissemination. Primary cutaneous cryptococ-cosis (PCC) is characterized by skin lesions confined to one body region, positive culture for C. ne...
متن کاملPrimary cutaneous cryptococcosis: a distinct clinical entity.
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast responsible for disseminated meningitis in immunocompromised hosts. Controversies persist on the existence of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis (PCC) versus cutaneous cryptococcosis being only secondary to hematogenous dissemination. Thus, we reviewed cryptococcosis cases associated with skin lesions reported in the French National Registry. Patie...
متن کاملPrimay cutaneous cryptococcosis in an immunocompetent patient.
The authors report a primary cutaneous cryptococcosis, caused by Cryptococcus neoformans in immunocompetent patient, a farmer who developed extensive lesions at the site of an injury caused by one of the chickens on his right forearm, while he was cleaning out his barn. Oral treatment with fluconazole was totally successful. A review of the literature showed the rarity of cutaneous cryptococcos...
