Detection of Chlamydia psittaci by immunofluorescence.
A direct fluorescent-antibody (FA) test was developed to detect Chlamydia psittaci in dural impressions from specimen-inoculated mice. Technical procedures for the test were compared. C. psittaci was found in mice after infection as early by the FA technique as it was by cytochemical staining methods usually used. The lymphogranuloma venereum organism was also stained by conjugated antibody to ...
متن کاملPyrimidine metabolism by intracellular Chlamydia psittaci.
Pyrimidine metabolism was studied in the obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci AA Mp in the wild type and a variety of mutant host cell lines with well-defined mutations affecting pyrimidine metabolism. C. psittaci AA Mp cannot synthesize pyrimidines de novo, as assessed by its inability to incorporate aspartic acid into nucleic acid pyrimidines. In addition, the parasite cannot t...
متن کاملInnate immune response in avian macrophages elicited by Chlamydia psittaci Aangeboren immuniteit van aviaire macrofagen geïnduceerd door Chlamydia psittaci
Chlamydia psittaci is a gram-negative, obligate, intracellular bacterium, which mainly infects birds and mammals. Not much is known about innate immunity initiated by C. psittaci. The focus of the present study is on chicken macrophage activation and expression of cytokine, chemokine, caspase-1, iNOS and TLR genes during the early phase and mid-cycle period of the developmental cycle of the hig...
متن کاملChlamydia psittaci in birds of prey, Sweden
BACKGROUND Chlamydia psittaci is an intracellular bacterium primarily causing respiratory diseases in birds but may also be transmitted to other animals, including humans. The prevalence of the pathogen in wild birds in Sweden is largely unknown. METHODS DNA was extracted from cloacae swabs and screened for C. psittaci by using a 23S rRNA gene PCR assay. Partial 16S rRNA and ompA gene fragmen...
متن کاملMiniature cell formation in Chlamydia psittaci.
In an electron microscope study on the developmental cycle of the goat pneumonitis strain of Chlamydia psittaci in L cells, it was observed that miniature reticulate bodies, measuring approximately 0.2 mum in diameter and surrounded by double unit membranes, were produced infrequently from normal-sized reticulate bodies through a "budding"-like process. As little as 0.1 mug of penicillin per ml...
