چکیده

CAMERON, C. M. & PURDOM, MARY, R. Immunological and chemical characteristics of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis cell walls and ptotoplasm. Onderstepoort]. vet. Res. 38 (2), 83-92 (1971). Successive extraction of purified Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis cell walls with ether: ethanol, cold and hot trichloroacetic acid and crystalline trypsin did not destroy their immunizing potency. Cell walls were not susceptible to the action of lysozyme unless pre-treated with trichloroacetic acid and NaOH. Treatment with NaOH, however, destroyed the immunizing properties. Protoplasm also contains immunizing antigen but because of the insolubility of the antigen it could not be purified and characterized. By gel diffusion it was found that cell walls and a protoplasm fraction contain a common antigen. It could not, however, be proved that this antigen is exclusively responsible for inducing a protective immunity.

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: Immunological Responses in Animal Models and Zoonotic Potential

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a member of the Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium and Nocardia (CMN) group that comprises species of medical, veterinary and biotechnological interest. This pathogen mainly affects small ruminants, causing caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), but it also infects bovines, equines, pigs, deer, camels and humans, showing its zoonotic relevance. Phospholipase D (PLD) and ...

Production of diphtheria toxin by selected isolates of Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.

We determined the diphtheria toxin phenotype of specially selected isolates of Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis (C. ovis). All produced proteins similar in size and immunological structure to diphtheria toxin. As with diphtheria toxin, they exhibited ADP-ribosylating activity, and their synthesis was regulated by iron.

Background: Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) is an important bacterial disease in goats, caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. The disease is highly prevalent worldwide and causes significant economic losses to the cattle industry. Currently, the treatment of this disease with antibiotics remains largely unsuccessful due to the nature of the bacteria and the resultant resistance to the drugs...
