Experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection of the Mouse Cornea.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection of human cornea is rare but serious. The work of previous investigators using experimental infection primarily of rabbit cornea resulted in successful therapy for 10 to 50% of clinical cases. The advantage of using the mouse is demonstrated. The methods we adapted for characterizing the untreated experimental infection included: incising the cornea to enable est...
متن کاملThe cornea-destroying enzyme of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The harvest media from five strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa collected from severe clinical infections did not contain a collagenase. Instead, an enzyme was isolated that could degrade the ground substance of the cornea. Partial purification of this enzyme indicated that it was the only enzyme in the harvest media that cotdd destroy the rabbit cornea after intralamellar injection. Na2EDTA comp...
متن کاملExperimental urinary tract infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice.
Urinary tract infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa was induced in mice by transurethral inoculation of the organism into the bladder, followed by urethral obstruction for 6 h. The infection was mostly localized in the urinary organs. P. aeruginosa P9 was selected as the challenge organism from 10 laboratory strains of P. aeruginosa. After the inoculation of 10(7) colony-forming units of P. aer...
متن کاملPhysicochemical fractionation of extracellular cornea-damaging proteases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Fractionation of the culture supernatant fluids of a cornea-virulent strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by ammonium sulfate precipitation, diafiltration, isoelectric focusing, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and sucrose density gradient centrifugation failed to separate the rabbit cornea-damaging activity and the in vitro protease activity of the preparations. Three proteases having ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on Wounds Contaminated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Mice: An Experimental Study
The microorganisms have been usual noted as the major cause of delayed wound healing. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen causing these infections. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) show ample antibacterial activities. In present study, the effect of AgNPs alone and in combination with tetracycline investigated on inoculated wounds with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice. Twenty mice anes...
