Isolation of bacteriophages active against Neisseria meningitidis.
Five distinct bacteriophages have been isolated from strains of Neisseria meningitidis. Filtrates with titers of 10(-4) to 10(-6) were produced with a modified Swanstrom and Adams semisolid agar procedure, employing Eugonbroth with added agar and an incubation temperature of 30 C. Of 49 strains of N. meningitidis (groups B and C), 25 were lysed by one or more of the phages, but there was no lys...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of bacteriophages for Neisseria.
Sixteen bacteriophages for several strains of Neisseria perflava were isolated from throat washings and lysogenic organisms. The phages are placed into five groups based on serological and host-range characteristics. Group I, host strain c r, has phages NI, N2, mutant N2C, N5, N6, and NI3. N I is virulent, all others temperate for the host. Plaque size is about 1.5 mm., the largest for Neisseri...
متن کاملVaccine development against Neisseria meningitidis
Meningococcal disease is communicable by close contact or droplet aerosols. Striking features are high case fatality rates and peak incidences of invasive disease in infants, toddlers and adolescents. Vaccine development is hampered by bacterial immune evasion strategies including molecular mimicry.As for Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, no vaccine has therefore been develop...
متن کاملIsolation of Neisseria meningitidis from cadaveric blood.
Accessory spleen (supernumerary spleen, splenule or splenunculus) is usually a small nodule of splenic tissue found apart from the main body of the spleen. An accessory spleen is found in 10% of population [2]. They form either by the result of developmental anomalies or trauma [3]. But there is little information available about the second spleen. The typical size of an accessory spleen may va...
