Experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis in interleukin-10 gene knockout mice.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis is one of the most destructive diseases of the cornea. The host response to this infection is critical to the outcome. The cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) is thought to play an important role in modulating excessive inflammation and antimicrobial defenses. We have found that in IL-10(-/-) mice there is a significant decrease in bacterial load in corneas at 7 day...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A and keratitis in mice.
PURPOSE To determine the importance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (ETA) as a virulence factor in corneal disease. METHODS Isogenic mutants deficient in ETA were constructed in P. aeruginosa strains PAO1 and ATCC 19660 by allelic exchange and then evaluated for virulence in a mouse model of bacterial keratitis. The effect of ETA on adherence to scarified corneal epithelium was assessed ...
متن کاملSerrated Margins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Keratitis
PURPOSE To describe 3 cases of culture-positive P. aeruginosa keratitis, who presented with a focus having serrated margins. METHODS Observational case report. RESULTS Three cases wearing contact lenses complained of symptoms such as pain, redness, and a decrease in vision. Slit-lamp biomicroscopic examination revealed a focus with serrated margins in all cases. The patients underwent corne...
متن کاملEffect of interleukin-10 on gut-derived sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mice.
We evaluated the protective effect of interleukin-10 (IL-10) against murine gut-derived sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gut-derived sepsis was induced by administering cyclophosphamide and ampicillin while feeding P. aeruginosa to specific-pathogen-free mice. Treating mice with recombinant human IL-10 (rhIL-10) at 1.0 or 5.0 microg/mouse twice a day following the second cyclophosphamid...
متن کاملChelation in experimental Pseudomonas keratitis.
In cohtrast to its occasional occurrence during the first half of the 20th century (Joy, I942), Pseudomonas aeruginosa to-day ranks as a common, if not the most common, cause of bacterial corneal ulcer in the United States of America. Even with prompt laboratory diagnosis and use of adequate and specific antimicrobial therapy, the rapidly destructive lesion caused by this bacterium frequently r...
