Biological profile and response to anti-pneumocystis agents of Pneumocystis carinii in cell culture.

Use Of Razi Bovine Kidney Cell Line For Proliferation Of Pneumocystis Carinii

  Background and Objective: Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) has been historically the most prevalent opportunisticinfection in patients infected with the human immunodeficiencyvirus. Culture of the organism has not been faced with suitable success in artificial media, while various results have been reported for cell culture media. The aim of this study was proliferation of Pneumocystis carin...

Growth of Pneumocystis Carinii in Axenic Culture

SUMMARY In this research, which was done for two years, we investigated various liquid and solid media without feeder ceells, for the ability to support growth of P. carinii. Data obtained from counting the organisms nuclei showed that, addition of Cyclo­heximide, penicillin, & streptomycin to neopeptone­N-Acetyle Glucoseamine (N.P.G. medium) can provides growth requirements of organism in its...

Inhibition of growth of Pneumocystis carinii by lactoferrins alone and in combination with pyrimethamine, clarithromycin and minocycline.

The in vitro activity of lactoferrins alone and in combination with clarithromycin, minocycline and pyrimethamine was investigated against three clinical isolates of Pneumocystis carinii. Susceptibility was tested by inoculating isolates on to cell monolayers and determining the parasite count after 72 h incubation at 37 degrees C. The culture medium was supplemented with serial dilutions of ea...
