| antibody response to anaerobic coccoid rods in crohn's disease. | the igg and igm specific antibodies against a panel of 23 anaerobic gut bacteria were examined in crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and healthy controls. four of the organisms, bifidobacterium bifidum, coprococcus comes (me46), coprococcus comes (sp4), and eubacterium limosum gave abnormal antibody titres in crohn's disease compared with those of controls. in crohn's disease specific igg antibodies to three of the organisms were low and the igm antibodies were higher than those of controls. i ... | 1986 | 3782488 |
| interaction of bifidobacterial lipoteichoic acid with human intestinal epithelial cells. | binding of the lipoteichoic acids of bifidobacterium bifidum to human colonic epithelial cells appeared to be specific, reversible, and cell concentration and time dependent. a single population of approximately 8.3 x 10(8) binding sites per cell was detected, with a dissociation constant of 125 microm. ester-linked fatty acids are essential for binding. | 1985 | 3965407 |
| modulation of cytotoxin production by clostridium difficile in the intestinal tracts of gnotobiotic mice inoculated with various human intestinal bacteria. | gnotobiotic mice died 2 days after inoculation of a cytotoxigenic clostridium difficile strain. protection occurred when mice were previously inoculated with a strain of escherichia coli or bifidobacterium bifidum. intestinal cytotoxin production was highly reduced in the surviving mice, whereas the c. difficile population level did not decrease to a great extent. | 1985 | 3977313 |
| phosphatidylglycerol as biosynthetic precursor for the poly(glycerol phosphate) backbone of bifidobacterial lipoteichoic acid. | phosphatidylglycerol functions as donor of the sn-glycerol 1-phosphate units in the synthesis in vitro of the 1,2-phosphodiester-linked glycerol phosphate backbone of the lipoteichoic acids of bifidobacterium bifidum subsp. pennsylvanicum. the incorporation was catalysed by a membrane-bound enzyme system. after addition of chloroform/methanol the product formed coprecipitated with protein. the material was phenol-extractable and was co-eluted with purified lipoteichoic acid on sepharose 6b. the ... | 1985 | 4026803 |
| cell surface hydrophobicity of bifidobacterium bifidum subsp. pennsylvanicum. | the possible role of lipoteichoic acid with respect to cell surface properties of bifidobacterium bifidum subsp. pennsylvanicum was studied. standard suspensions of bacteria were mixed with octane or xylene. b. bifidum subsp. pennsylvanicum was shown to possess a strongly hydrophobic cell surface. hydrophobicity of the bacteria could be reduced by treatment with trypsin, pepsin (at ph 4.5), hcl and penicillin. the latter treatment resulted in an increased excretion of lipoteichoic acid. albumin ... | 1985 | 4091536 |
