Group A streptococcal L forms. I. Persistence among inoculated mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
L forms induced from two strains of group A Streptococcus were inoculated intraperitoneally and intravenously into conventional and germ-free mice. After intravenous injection, streptococcal L forms disappeared very quickly from the blood, whereas, after intraperitoneal injection, it was possible to isolate them as long as 25 days after inoculation. Observations suggest that a certain degree of reversion to a bacterial form may occur spontaneously in animals.

Study on immunity of Leishmania major new crude antigen as a vaccine against leishmaniasis in out bred (resistant) and Balb/c (sensitive) mice
The aim of this study was to prepare a new formula of Leishmania major (L. major) crude antigen and evaluate its effect on immune system. For this purpose L. major promastigotes were cultured, harvested, washed, and resuspended in physiologic saline and the suspensions were dispersed in five equal batches. 0.1 ml of various doses of the cocktail antigen were injected intradermaly in three group...
متن کاملEnhanced Resistance to Streptococcal Infection Induced in Mice by Cell Wall Mucopeptide
The streptococcal cell wall mucopeptide when injected into mice either intraperitoneally or intravenously enhances the resitance to subsequent challenge with virulent Group A streptococci. Rabbits which are injected intravenously with solubilized mucopeptide develop a fever response which has a resemblance to that achieved with endotoxin. Mice which survive 6 to 7 weeks after challenge with vir...
متن کاملStreptococcal L-forms isolated from Drosophila paulistorum semispecies cause sterility in male progeny.
The Drosophila paulistorum complex contains six semispecies that do not normally interbreed. In the laboratory, crosses between semispecies produce fertile daughters and sterile sons. Microbial endosymbionts have been observed in all D. paulistorum flies that display this male sterility. Streptococcal L-forms have been isolated from the Andean-Brazilian (Mesitas) and Transitional (Santa Marta) ...
متن کاملProtection of group B streptococcal infection in a maternal-neonate mouse model.
Seven strains of group B streptococcus (GBS) of various types were examined for their virulence in adult and neonates mice by intraperitonea and intracerebra inoculations. The neonates mice were commonly more sensitive against the challenge than the adult mice. Pregnant mice were immunized with anti type Ia antiserum or heat-killed vaccine, and inoculated with GBS intravaginally before the part...
متن کاملStreptococcal growth and toxin production in vivo.
Streptococcal growth in vivo was studied with inoculated micropore filter chambers which were implanted into the peritoneal cavities of mice. Eight of nine group A strains and one group B strain grew in vivo, achieving concentrations of 10(7) to 10(9) CFU/ml in the chambers. Experiments with the Richards strain showed that the number of viable organisms remained high at 5 and 8 weeks after infe...
