Selected characteristics of pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of Bacteroides gingivalis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strains of Bacteroides gingivalis were compared for the presence of properties associated with pathogenicity. Some strains were infectious in pure culture in an in vivo model (guinea pig), and all but one of these were more collagenolytic than those which failed to cause lesions in guinea pigs. However, other factors seem to be necessary for the induction of an infection in this animal model.

The response of a potential nonpathogenic surrogate organism to a particular treatment should closely mimic the response of the target pathogenic organism. In this study, growth characteristics (generation time, lag phase duration, and maximum population), pH at stationary phase, and survival characteristics (level of attachment and survival on apple surfaces, resistance to hydrogen peroxide de...
متن کاملBacteroides gingivalis and Bacteroides intermedius recognize different sites on human fibrinogen.
Bacteroides (Porphyromonas) gingivalis and Bacteroides (Porphyromonas) intermedius have been implicated in the etiology of human periodontal diseases. These organisms are able to bind and degrade human fibrinogen, and these interactions may play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. In attempts to map the bacterial binding sites along the fibrinogen molecule, we have found that str...
متن کاملAntigenic characteristics and serological identification of 10 black-pigmented Bacteroides species.
Strains of 10 black-pigmented Bacteroides species were serologically characterized using absorbed and unabsorbed rabbit antisera. An agglutination test using intact cells or heated cells (100 degrees C for 60 min) from each species and unabsorbed antisera revealed only homologous reactions with little or no reactivity in heterologous assays. Immunodiffusion tests using sonicated antigen demonst...
متن کاملThe use of monoclonal antibodies to detect Bacteroides gingivalis in biological samples.
Hybridomas were established which produce monoclonal antibodies specific for Bacteroides gingivalis, a pathogen associated with human periodontal disease. Spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with formalinized B. gingivalis were fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells. Of 1,050 wells with positive growth, 60 contained antibody reactive with the immunizing strain of B. gingivalis by enzyme-linked...
