iron uptake and increased intracellular enzyme activity follow host lactoferrin binding by trichomonas vaginalis receptors.lactoferrin acquisition and iron uptake by pathogenic trichomonas vaginalis was examined. saturation binding kinetics were obtained for trichomonads using increasing amounts of radioiodinated lactoferrin, while no significant binding by transferrin under similar conditions was achieved. only unlabeled lactoferrin successfully and stoichiometrically competed with 125i-labeled lactoferrin binding. time course studies showed maximal lactoferrin binding by 30 min at 37 degrees c. data suggest no int ...19846088662
the deoxyribonucleoside phosphotransferase of trichomonas vaginalis. a potential target for anti-trichomonial chemotherapy.trichomonas vaginalis, a human protozoan parasite known to lack the capability of synthesizing purine and pyrimidine nucleotides de novo, was found also incapable of converting its ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides. the only apparent means of providing deoxyribonucleotides for dna synthesis relies on salvaging exogenous deoxyribonucleosides by a deoxyribonucleoside phosphotransferase activity in the t. vaginalis 10(5) g pelletable fraction. the activity, constituted by at least two isozyme ...19846090576
sexually transmitted diseases among randomly selected attenders at an antenatal clinic in the gambia.one hundred randomly selected women attending a free government antenatal clinic in the town of bakau, the gambia, were examined. vaginal swabs were taken for microscopical examination for trichomonas vaginalis and for culture on sabouraud's medium. cervical swabs were taken for culture of neisseria gonorrhoeae and chlamydia trachomatis and, in 50 cases, herpesvirus hominis; in addition, urethral swabs were taken for culture of n gonorrhoeae. serum samples were tested for antibodies to treponema ...19846091843
thiol groups on the surface of anaerobic parasitic protozoa.evidence is presented that giardia lamblia and entamoeba histolytica, phylogenetically unrelated aerotolerant anaerobes, have crucial thiol groups on or easily accessible to their external surface. both parasites were killed by three structurally unrelated thiol-blocking reagents which penetrate intact cells poorly or not at all. the parasites were protected from p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (10-100 microm) by cysteine or by reduced glutathione. killing was arrested with identical kinetic ...19846096710

susceptibility of abortion patients to infection: correlation to cervical flora.cervical bacterial microflora was studied with a semiquantitative method in 29 women both before and after the termination of their pregnancy. the main findings were high prevalence of anaerobic bacteria (in 72%-79% of the specimens) consisting predominantly of bacteroides species and anaerobic gram-positive cocci, and low prevalence of aerobic bacteria (in 24%-38% of the specimens). among the other microbes studied, the prevalence of chlamydia excretors was high (24%), probably reflecting a pro ...19806106600
gonorrhea, trichomonas and candida among gravid and nongravid women in cameroon.a case-control study of 1358 pregnant and nonpregnant women with and without symptoms of a lower genital tract infection were investigated for evidence of venereal disease. the prevalence of gonorrhea, trichomonas and candida in pregnancy was 15.0%, 20.6% and 41.3%, respectively, while the equivalent percentages in the nonpregnant women varied from 16.5% to 21.6%, 2.4% to 22.8% and 33.3% to 39.3%. however, these differences are not statistically significant. the implications of the findings are ...19806106601
the enzymes of pyrimidine biosynthesis in a range of parasitic protozoa and helminths.the activities of carbamoylphosphate synthase, aspartate transcarbamoylase, dihydroorotase, orotate phosphoribosyl transferase and orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase, five of the six enzymes of pyrimidine biosynthesis, have been measured in crithidia fasciculata, trypanosoma cruzi, leishmania major, trichomonas vaginalis, eimeria tenella, toxoplasma gondii, plasmodium berghei, fasciola gigantica, schistosoma mansoni, hymenolepis diminuta, nippostrongylus brasiliensis and trichuris muris. the m ...19816111750

immunoperoxidase staining of trichomonas vaginalis in cytologic material.in the course of studies on the histopathology and pathogenesis of trichomonal infections, specific antisera to trichomonas vaginalis were produced. using these antisera, conventional immunocytochemical techniques were modified and applied to a variety of cytologic specimens. with this methodology, trichomonal organisms were identified in specimens from usual and unexpected locations. these findings plus the potential applications of similar methodologies to other areas of cytopathology are repo ...19806159760
evaluation of acridine orange stain for detection of trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal specimens.vaginal exudates from 105 patients were examined by direct wet-mount microscopy and acridine orange stain for the presence of trichomonas vaginalis. both procedures demonstrated greater than 90% agreement in both sensitivity and specificity. when specimens can be examined immediately after collection, it appears that wet-mount microscopy is almost as sensitive as acridine orange staining for detection of t. vaginalis.19816174543

studies of cervicovaginal smears for the presence of actinomycetes.cytologic and direct fluorescent antibody techniques were used to detect the presence of actinomyces israelii and arachnia propionica in cervicovaginal smears collected from 100 women, 94 of whom did not use intrauterine contraceptive devices. in no case were these organisms found. the possible significance of these results is discussed.19836195527
salvage of pyrimidine nucleosides by trichomonas vaginalis.trichomonas vaginalis is incapable of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis because it cannot incorporate bicarbonate, aspartate or orotate into its pyrimidine nucleotides or nucleic acids. the organism can salvage exogenous cytidine greater than uridine greater than uracil and thymidine, and incorporate them into the nucleotide pool. a portion of cytidine is converted to cmp, cdp and ctp by cytidine phosphotransferase and nucleotide kinases. some cytidine and most of uracil are, however, converted fi ...19846199666
[unusual cytologic aspects of cervico-vaginal trichomoniasis. study of cervico-vaginal smears stained by the papanicolaou's method].trichomonas vaginalis has been recognized by cytologists in papanicolaou-stained smears of cervical and vaginal secretions for some years. the highest percentage of positive trichomonas vaginalis detection was obtained with this technique. classical cytologic aspects of trichomonas vaginalis infection on papanicolaou-stained smears have been commonly reported: cytoplasmic alterations with amphophilia, eosinophilia, perinuclear halo, vacuolisation; nuclear abnormalities with pycnosis, dysplasia-l ...19846203958
[evaluation of the virulence of trichomonas vaginalis strains by the study of their cytopathogenic effect on cultured cells].the pathogenicity level of 25 wild strains and 4 clones of trichomonas vaginalis was evaluated on the observation of rapidity and intensity of cytopathogenic effect occurring in mac coy cells culture. it appeared more sensitive, faster and nearer of behaviour and cytopathogenicity in women than subcutaneous and intraperitoneal inoculation to mice. the lack of diffusible exotoxin and the cell adhesiveness of trichomonas vaginalis observed, suggest that pathogenicity could be in connection with th ...19826220793
an immunofluorescence test to detect serum antibodies to giardia lamblia.we used an indirect immunofluorescence test with giardia lamblia trophozoites as antigen to detect anti-g. lamblia antibodies in serum. seventy-one patients and control subjects were studied in a blinded protocol. titers in 29 of 30 patients with symptomatic giardiasis (1:16 to 1:1024) did not overlap titers in 19 healthy control subjects (1:2 to 1:4); titers in 15 patients with hookworm, entamoeba histolytica, or intestinal bacterial overgrowth were 1:16 or less absorption of giardiasis patient ...19806255845
metronidazole metabolism in cultures of entamoeba histolytica and trichomonas vaginalis.acetamide forms from metronidazole in cultures of either entamoeba histolytica or trichomonas vaginalis as it does in cultures of bacteria which are susceptible to this drug. under aerobic conditions, the formation of acetamide is more rapid in a strain of t. vaginalis which is more susceptible to metronidazole. thus, it appears that the formation of acetamide may be associated with the microbiocidal action of metronidazole.19816272633
[use of a contraceptive suppository as chemoprophylaxis against sexually-transmitted diseases].the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases (std), especially gonorrhea, has risen dramatically in the past 2 decades. the population at greatest risk is also at high risk for unwanted pregnancies. since currently employed treatment methods are failing to curb the problem, a search was instituted for an available vaginal contraceptive that would have a prophylactic effect against these diseases. in vitro studies have indicated that a vaginal contraceptive made of phenylmercuric acetate is ...19816277015
sexually transmitted infections and cervical atypia.epidemiologic studies have long associated cervical cancer and dysplasia with sexual activity. in the past two decades an abundance of biological and epidemiologic data have indicated a relationship between herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) and these conditions. unfortunately, the strength of the evidence (albeit circumstantial) has led many researchers to focus exclusively on the putative role of hsv-2 as the carcinogen. at the same time, many studies have shown that cervical atypia, if it is ...19816277023
cytotoxicity of human peripheral blood monocytes against trichomonas vaginalis.human peripheral blood monocytes were purified by adherence on microexudate-coated plastic and detached by exposure to 1 mm ethylenediamine tetracetic acid. lysis of trichomonas vaginalis was measured as release of 3h-thymidine from prelabelled protozoa after 48 hr of incubation. human blood monocytes had appreciable levels of spontaneous cytotoxicity against trichomonas vaginalis at effector-to-target cell ratios ranging from 3:1 to 25:1. cytotoxicity was expressed with fetal bovine serum and h ...19816279344
vaginitis in sexually active women: relationship to nine sexually transmitted organisms.women seen for symptoms suggestive of vulvovaginitis were studied for the detection of mycoplasma hominis. ureaplasma urealyticum, yeast, neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, gardnerella vaginalis, herpes simplex virus, group b beta-hemolytic streptococci, aerobes, anaerobes, and trichomonas vaginalis. asymptomatic women who reported to be sexually active and agreed to undergo comprehensive genital cultures were used as controls. there was a significant association of vulvovaginitis wit ...19826280502

host plasma proteins on the surface of pathogenic trichomonas vaginalis.sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis and fluorography and fluorography technology revealed that pathogenic trichomonas vaginalis was able to acquire numerous loosely associated plasma proteins during incubation in normal human plasma. these proteins were readily removed by repeated washing of the parasite in phosphate-buffered saline. plasma proteins avidly bound to the surface of t. vaginalis were also detected using a highly sensitive and specific agglutination assay with protein a-beari ...19826288571
sexually transmitted diseases in pregnancy.numerous sexually transmitted diseases--syphilis, gonococcal infections, group b beta-hemolytic streptococcal infection, chlamydial infections, mycoplasmas, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus infections, hepatitis b viral infections, fungal infection, trichomonas vaginalis, condylomata acuminata, and scabies--are of concern when they occur during pregnancy, either because of their potential adverse effects on the fetus or the chance of a modified reaction in the pregnant woman. this article ...19826293753

urine as a specimen for diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases.the case of specimen collection has led to the suggestion that urine might be a useful specimen for the isolation of sexually transmitted disease agents. it would only be an appropriate specimen for agents that infect the urethra, such as neisseria gonorrhoeae or chlamydia trachomatis. comparative tests have shown that culture of urine for chlamydiae (from men with urethritis) or for gonococci from women is an insensitive procedure. gonococci can be isolated from urine from men at rates essentia ...19836309002
human milk kills parasitic intestinal protozoa.giardia lamblia, a common pathogenic intestinal parasite of humans, was rapidly killed by exposure to normal human milk in vitro. the killing did not depend on secretory immunoglobulin a. entamoeba histolytica, the dysentery amoeba, was also killed by normal human milk. giardia-cidal activity cochromatographed with an unusual lipase that is present in the milk of humans but not of lower mammals. human milk may play a protective role in infants exposed to this parasite.19836310751
the pathway of arginine catabolism in the parasitic flagellate trichomonas vaginalis.arginine is rapidly depleted from the medium during the cultivation of t. vaginalis in a defined or semi-defined medium. it is broken down to ornithine, ammonia and carbon dioxide by the three enzymes of the dihydrolase pathway: arginine deiminase, catabolic ornithine carbamyltransferase (octase) and carbamate kinase. arginase and urease as well as citrulline hydrolase appear to be absent. ornithine, a product of the pathway was further converted to putrescine by an active ornithine decarboxylas ...19836312311
hydrogenosomal ferredoxin of the anaerobic protozoon, tritrichomonas foetus.a low molecular weight iron-sulfur protein has been purified from tritrichomonas foetus by deoxycholate extraction of whole cells, ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. the purified protein was essentially homogeneous as judged by isoelectric focusing, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and gel filtration. a pi of 4.3 was observed. the molecular weight of the protein was estimated to be 12,000. chemical and spectral analysis showed the protein to have a [2fe-2s] cluster. the absorban ...19836313659
inhibition of growth of giardia lamblia by difluoromethylornithine, a specific inhibitor of polyamine biosynthesis.difluoromethylornithine (dfmo) is a specific and irreversible inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase, an enzyme which catalyzes the first step in the biosynthetic pathway of the polyamines. we tested the effect of dfmo on the growth of giardia lamblia, entamoeba histolytica, and trichomonas vaginalis. growth of g. lamblia was inhibited by dfmo at concentrations of greater than or equal to 1.25 mm. culture doubling time increased with increasing dfmo concentration. growth inhibition was reversed if ...19846330350

pyrimidine metabolism in trichomonas vaginalis.pyrimidine metabolism in trichomonas vaginalis was investigated using washed cell suspensions of the organism with radiolabelled pyrimidine ring precursors and preformed pyrimidines. the precursors [14c]orotate, [14c]bicarbonate and [14c]aspartate were not incorporated into the pyrimidine bases of trichomonal nucleic acids, indicating that the protozoan is unable to synthesise the pyrimidine ring and is dependent on the salvage of exogenous pyrimidines. [3h]uracil, [3h]uridine, [3h]cytidine, deo ...19846333357
trichomonas vaginalis is dependent on uptake and degradation of human low density lipoproteins.human plasma low density lipoprotein uptake by the urogenital pathogen, trichomonas vaginalis, was examined. rapid binding and internalization of 125i-labeled low density lipoproteins by live t. vaginalis was observed at 37 degrees c. data showing parasite degradation of the internalized apoproteins and lipid accumulation following low density lipoprotein uptake was obtained. acquisition of low density lipoproteins was by a trichomonad surface protein that possessed a molecular weight of greater ...19846333482
a metronidazole-resistant strain of trichomonas vaginalis and its sensitivity to go 10213.in the present study the comparative in-vitro and in-vivo efficacy of go 10213 was compared with those of metronidazole, secnidazole, tinidazole, ornidazole and nimorazole against a metronidazole-resistant strain of t. vaginalis. go 10213 was found to be superior in activity. it appears more promising than the drugs mentioned above on the basis of the evidence presented.19846334072

identification of immunogenic and antibody-binding membrane proteins of pathogenic trichomonas vaginalis.characterization of immunogenic trichomonas vaginalis membrane proteins was accomplished by using extrinsically and intrinsically labeled organisms and a highly sensitive and specific radioimmunoprecipitation procedure. intact motile trichomonads were compared with detergent extracts as a source of antigen in radioimmunoprecipitation experiments. approximately 20 proteins accessible to antibody were identified and ranged in molecular weight from 200,000 to 20,000. localization on the parasite su ...19836339404
an analysis of the proteinases of trichomonas vaginalis by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.the proteinases of trichomonas vaginalis have been analysed by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing denatured haemoglobin. seven bands of activity were detected indicating multiple proteinases. all of the enzymes were stimulated by 1 mm dithiothreitol and had inhibitor sensitivities characteristic of cysteine proteinases. the enzymes differed significantly, however, with respect to ph optima and relative sensitivities to inhibitors.19836340036
antigenic analysis of trichomonas vaginalis strains by quantitative fluorescent antibody methods.clones of 5 trichomonas vaginalis strains, jh30a, jh31a, jh34a, jh162a, and jh384a, kept in liquid nitrogen (with dmso serving as the cryoprotectant) after a few weeks of cultivation in axenic cultures, were analyzed for their antigenic properties by quantitative direct fluorescent antibody methods. measurements of fluorescence of individual cells obtained with the aid of an ultramicrofluorometer indicated that each strain possessed unique antigens as well as antigens it shared with the other st ...19836344477

susceptibility of trichomonas vaginalis strains to metronidazole: response to treatment.the effect of the susceptibility of trichomonas vaginalis strains to metronidazole on response to treatment was determined from minimal inhibitory concentrations (mics) for organisms isolated during a clinical trial in which single 1- and 2-g doses of metronidazole were compared. fifty-seven strains were isolated from patients receiving 1 g of metronidazole, and 75 from those receiving 2 g. the mean mic for all strains was 1.50 microgram/ml (range, 0.5-4.5 microgram/ml) and was similar in both g ...19836359490
specific and common antigens of trichomonas vaginalis detected by monoclonal antibodies.monoclonal antibodies to trichomonas vaginalis were prepared by immunizing mice with a cloned isolate of t. vaginalis. eight antibodies reacted with the same four isolates or strains but did not react with the other t. vaginalis strains or isolates tested. all eight antibodies reacted uniformly with both the body and flagella of t. vaginalis in the immunofluorescence assay but were unreactive by immunoblotting. the antigen(s) recognized by these antibodies was determined to be present on the sur ...19846360900
prostatitis and epididymitis.ascending spread of urethral pathogens may be the mechanisms of infection of the prostate and epididymis. sexually transmitted organisms cause most epididymitis in young men. although evidence is mounting to suggest that sexually transmitted organisms may cause prostatitis, data are insufficient at this time to base a therapeutic approach on this concept. the authors present approaches to the management of these two disorders.19846369708
[disorders of vaginal biocenosis in women with risk of genital cancer].473 women 38-71 years old were examined. 55 women with physiologic biocenosis of the vagina were included into control group. in remaining (418) there were detected: erosions, cancers of the cervix, hyperplasias and cancers of the endometrium of the uterine body, inflammations, leukoplakia and cancers of the vulva. microbiological examinations consisted if indirect examinations of vaginal content and of artificial cultures on different media. disturbances in vaginal biocenosis was diagnosed in t ...19836371790

on the causation of pelvic inflammatory disease.the classic descriptive model of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) omits any direct statement that sexual intercourse leads to the development of the lower genital or cervical infection which ultimately leads to upper genital or tubal infection. despite this, clinicians treating patients with pid frequently, either implicity or explicitly, link its onset to sexual activity. in the past decade numerous authors have commented on the strong association between the widespread changes in sexual at ...19846372489
