Using luciferase to image bacterial infections in mice.
Imaging is a valuable technique that can be used to monitor biological processes. In particular, the presence of cancer cells, stem cells, specific immune cell types, viral pathogens, parasites and bacteria can be followed in real-time within living animals. Application of bioluminescence imaging to the study of pathogens has advantages as compared to conventional strategies for analysis of inf...
متن کاملGuide to antibiotic therapy of experimental bacterial infections in mice.
The 50 per cent effective or curative dose (ED50 or CD50) of a new chemotherapeutic agent against bacterial infections in mice is generally used to determine the efficacy of this agent as compared to that of established antibiotics. Although many of the ED50 values of these antibiotics are found in publications, a comprehensive summary of these data is not available. This communication is desig...
متن کاملReversible Changes in the Susceptibility of Mice to Bacterial Infections
MICE WERE INJECTED INTRAPERITONEALLY WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BACTERIAL PRODUCTS HAVING ENDOTOXIN ACTIVITY: pertussis vaccine, a suspension of heat-killed cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae (type C), or a purified lipopolysaccharide prepared from cultures of Salmonella typhosa. Following treatment with either one of these materials, the animals were infected intravenously with virulent cultures of...
متن کاملStructure of bacterial luciferase.
The generation of light by living organisms such as fireflies, glow-worms, mushrooms, fish, or bacteria growing on decaying materials has been a subject of fascination throughout the ages, partly because it occurs without the need for high temperatures. The chemistry behind the numerous bioluminescent systems is quite varied, and the enzymes that catalyze the reactions, the luciferases, are a l...
متن کاملLaboratory Diagnosis of Nosocomial Bacterial Infections Using Standard Methods
Background and objective: Implementation of standard methods for accurate detection of bacteria, correct antibiotic susceptibility testing and effective treatment of bacterial infections play important roles in development of public health and prevention of drug resistance. This study aimed to detect bacteria using standard methods and compare the results with the results obtained in teaching h...
