Dissemination of Listeria monocytogenes by infected phagocytes.
In vitro data suggest that blood-borne Listeria monocytogenes organisms enter the central nervous system (CNS) by direct invasion of endothelial cells or by cell-to-cell spread from infected phagocytes to endothelial cells. However, a role for infected phagocytes in neuroinvasion and dissemination of L. monocytogenes in vivo has not been confirmed experimentally. Experiments described here test...
متن کاملActin network disassembly powers dissemination of Listeria monocytogenes.
Several bacterial pathogens hijack the actin assembly machinery and display intracellular motility in the cytosol of infected cells. At the cell cortex, intracellular motility leads to bacterial dissemination through formation of plasma membrane protrusions that resolve into vacuoles in adjacent cells. Here, we uncover a crucial role for actin network disassembly in dissemination of Listeria mo...
متن کاملIngestion and killing of Listeria monocytogenes by blood and milk phagocytes from mastitic and normal cattle.
Human listeriosis resulting from consumption of listeria-contaminated dairy products is emerging as a significant public health concern. There is a need to understand better the processes involved in the pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes-induced bovine mastitis. In the present report, we describe the results of the in vitro interaction of L. monocytogenes with bovine blood and milk leukocy...
متن کاملDETERMINATION OF DOMINANT SEROVARS OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES
Serovars of Lisreria l1Iollocyrogelles were determined. Sera of aborted samples (200) were collected from different hospitals in Tehran and were tested serologically by immunofluorescent antibody methods (IF tests). 137 positive sera were identified. Positive sera were tested against 12 serovars of Listeria l1Iollocytogelles separately. Titers of antibody in patients' sera for all serovars ...
متن کاملEndophthalmitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from the aqueous chamber of an immunodepressed patient with acute hypertensive uveitis, who developed a dark hypopyon and pigment dispersion. No extraocular septic focus was found. Treatment was successful with intravitreal vancomycin, anterior chamber irrigation with vancomycin, orally administered ciprofloxacin, and topical fortified vancomycin.
