DETERMINATION 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 کاملAn iron-dependent mutant of Listeria monocytogenes of attenuated virulence.
A bank of Tn917-insertional mutants from the facultative intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes was screened by an original method based on bacterial growth on synthetic medium under iron-limiting conditions. One mutant, whose in vitro growth in synthetic medium was specifically dependent upon the availability of iron in its environment, was isolated and characterized. The insertional ev...
متن کاملEpidemiological burden of Listeria monocytogenes in Iran
Objective(s): Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogenic bacteria causing the infection listeriosis, which possibly affects all people, particularly immunocompromised persons and pregnant women. This microorganism can be found in several processed foods, dairy products, raw milk, meat and fish products, seafoods, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. This review discusses about the epidemiologica...
متن کاملSortase independent and dependent systems for acquisition of haem and haemoglobin in Listeria monocytogenes.
We studied three Fur-regulated systems of Listeria monocytogenes: the srtB region, that encodes sortase-anchored proteins and a putative ABC transporter, and the fhu and hup operons, that produce putative ABC transporters for ferric hydroxamates and haemin (Hn)/haemoglobin (Hb) respectively. Deletion of lmo2185 in the srtB region reduced listerial [(59) Fe]-Hn transport, and purified Lmo2185 bo...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes meningitis and decreased phagocytosis associated with iron overload.
A patient with Listeria monocytogenes meningitis was found to have idiopathic haemochromatosis and monocytes with reduced phagocytic capacity. The phagocytic function recovered completely after a series of therapeutic phlebotomies. In-vitro iron had a deleterious effect on the phagocytic capacity of monocytes and granulocytes. These findings show that iron overload in the host can increase susc...
