Electron microscopic studies on mode of action of polymyxin.
The antibacterial activity of the polymyxin group against gram-negative bacteria has been explained as owing to increased permeability of the cell envelope consisting of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane and the resultant leakage of the cell contents (7). Consequently, morphological studies should contribute much to the elucidation of the mechanism of action of these agents (2). We have made d...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Studies on Streptococci
The location of Group A carbohydrate in the streptococcal cell wall has been studied by several ultrastructural techniques. The findings, based largely on use of ferritin- and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies, are interpreted as demonstrating a discrete laminar distribution of the group-specific polysaccharide. This carbohydrate layer is located on the outermost surface of the cell ...
متن کاملElectron microscopic study of the polymyxin treated Vibrio cholerae cells.
Polymyxin B produces dose dependent changes in the surface topography of pathogenic Vibrio cholerae cells. The susceptibilities of various vibrio strains to PB are also studied through analytical techniques. Statistical analysis shows significant differences among the four vibrios with regard to their sensitivities to PB, the classical strains being the most sensitive. Treating the classical st...
متن کاملElectron microscopic study of the polymyxin treated goat erythrocytes.
Polymyxin B produced dose dependent changes in the surface topography of the goat erythrocyte cells. Transformation from the normal biconcave discs through crenated structures to the final rounded or spherical shape was recorded by scanning electron microscopy. A maximum of three to four crenations per cell was recorded corresponding to a polymyxin dose of 15.62 micrograms/ml. Transmission elec...
متن کاملElectron Microscopic Studies
Cultured, human, amniotic cells (FL strain) injected into the thigh muscles of cortisoneconditioned mice proliferated to form discrete colonies which, over a period of 5 days, became invested by numerous fibroblasts. Cartilage cells and matrix appeared within the fibroblastic zones during the succeeding 2-4 days. Cartilage matrix calcified within 12 days following FL-cell injection. Cartilage c...
