Quantitative immunofluorescence studies of the serology of Bacillus anthracis spores.

چکیده
A fluorescein-conjugated antibody against formalin-inactivated spores of Bacillus anthracis Vollum reacted only weakly with a variety of Bacillus species in microfluorometric immunofluorescence assays. A conjugated antibody against spores of B. anthracis Sterne showed little affinity for spores of several B. anthracis isolates including B. anthracis Vollum, indicating that more than one anthrax spore serotype exists.

Isolation of Anthrax Spores from Soil in Endemic Regions of Isfahan, Iran
To isolate and detect anthrax spores from soil in different regions of Isfahan, Iran a total of 60 environmental specimens were collected during 2003. Bacterial endospores were extracted via flotation in distilled water and were cultured on blood agar and selective PLET media. Bacillus anthracis was identified using bacteriological and biological tests. Viable Bacillus anthracis spores were iso...

For evaluation the stability and potency of anthrax vaccine prepared in Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute in Iran, samples of different batches of vaccine were kept at 4-8 °C (refrigerator), 20-25 °C (room temperature) and 37 °C (incubator).The viable spores/ml of vaccines were determined using plate–counting method before and after holding at different temperatures monthly. Vaccine p...
متن کاملCharacterization of Bacillus anthracis Persistence In Vivo
Pulmonary exposure to Bacillus anthracis spores initiates inhalational anthrax, a life-threatening infection. It is known that dormant spores can be recovered from the lungs of infected animals months after the initial spore exposure. Consequently, a 60-day course antibiotic treatment is recommended for exposed individuals. However, there has been little information regarding details or mechani...

To isolate and detect anthrax spores form soil in different regions of Iran in order to find the anthrax foci‚ a total of 668 environmental specimens were collected during 2003-2004. Bacterial endospores were extracted from soil specimens via flotation in distilled water, incubation at room temperature, filtration, heat shock and culture on blood agar and selective PLET media. Bacillus anthraci...
متن کاملIn vivo demonstration and quantification of intracellular Bacillus anthracis in lung epithelial cells.
Inhalational anthrax is initiated by the entry of Bacillus anthracis spores into the lung. A critical early event in the establishment of an infection is the dissemination of spores from the lung. Using in vitro cell culture assays, we previously demonstrated that B. anthracis spores are capable of entering into epithelial cells of the lung and crossing a barrier of lung epithelial cells withou...
