stimulating effect of pyruvate on the growth of mycobacterium leprae in cell-free, semisynthetic, soft agar medium.a bacterial suspension prepared from a nodule from a patient with lepromatous leprosy was inoculated into the cell-free, semisynthetic, semiliquid agar medium m-y 11d-modified from the authors' medium m-y 1c by omitting glycerol and adding pyruvate-and incubated at 37 degrees c. the growth of the organism was stimulated so markedly that after about 50 weeks' incubation of the primary culture microcolonies could be seen floating in the agar layer as tiny white particles, while the medium fluid as ...19734590553

leprosy in the armadillo: new model for biomedical research.eight of twenty armadillos (dasypus novemcinctus l.) developed severe lepromatous leprosy 3 to 3.5 years after inoculation with viable mycobacterium leprae. a total of 988 grams of lepromas containing an estimated 15 to 20 grams of leprosy bacilli has been harvested from these animals. the large amounts of material now available will permit in-depth studies of the biochemistry and metabolism of the leprosy bacillus, and the animal model should make possible definitive studies on the immunology, ...19744589901

behavior of mycobacterium leprae in human macrophages in vitro.attempts have been made to cultivate mycobacterium leprae in human macrophages in vitro. in 27 out of 55 experiments a two- to ninefold increase (mean 2.31 +/- 1.46) in acid-fast organisms were observed over a period of 1.5 to 3 months of cultivation. no such increase was observed with heat-killed bacilli (mean fold increase 0.88 +/- 0.19). macrophages were necessary for obtaining increases. no multiplication was observed on artificial media. a close correlation between increases of acid-fast or ...19734581011
subclinical infection in leprosy.lymphocyte transformation has been used to study the immune response to mycobacterium leprae among contacts and non-contacts of leprosy patients. of 26 subjects living in a leprosy endemic area for less than two months none responded to m. leprae; 24% of subjects who had lived in an endemic area for more than a year gave a positive response to m. leprae; more than 50% of individuals with occupational contact of leprosy for more than a year responded; and about 50% of contacts of tuberculoid and ...19734580217

early response of mouse foot pads to mycobacterium laprae.the purpose of these experiments was to study the early response of mouse foot pads to mycobacterium leprae. to accomplish this, mice were inoculated in both foot pads with large and small numbers of organisms. the animals were sacrificed at intervals from 2 hr to 27 days after inoculation. the microscopical results, which utilized normal balb/c and thymectomized-irradiated b6c3f(1) mice, showed that the tissue responded first with an influx of polymorphonuclear cells and later lymphocytes and m ...19734570280

an attempt to culture mycobacterium leprae in cell-free, semisynthetic, soft agar media.this paper describes an attempt to culture m. leprae from leprous nodules, using cell-free, semisynthetic, soft agar media, and the effects of varying the incubation temperature and the composition of the basic medium, as well as of pretreating the bacterial suspensions with alkali. the identification test carried out in leprosy patients by intradermal injection of bacillary suspensions prepared from the primary cultures and third subcultures suggested that the bacterial masses that had formed i ...19724566288

adjuvant activity of mycobacterium leprae.mycobacterium leprae organisms isolated from infected spleen and liver tissue by zonal centrifugation were shown to possess adjuvant activity. histochemical examination of the footpad macrophage epithelioid granuloma showed that macrophages contained large amounts of hemosiderin after the injection of m. leprae and much smaller amounts after the injection of m. tuberculosis.19724565054
ultrastructural changes in cells of the mouse footpad infected with mycobacterium leprae.ultrastructural changes in cells of the mouse footpad are described which occurred during the log phase of multiplication, the plateau, and the stationary phase of growth of mycobacterium leprae.balb/c mice were inoculated in the right hind footpad with 5 x 10(3) organisms and sacrificed in pairs at 86 to 173 days after inoculation. tissue samples were prepared for electron microscopy by standard techniques. during the early growth phase of m. leprae in the mouse footpad, few organisms can be de ...19724564400

a test for the determination of competency in clearing bacilli in leprosy patients.a skin test has been developed to determine the degree of competency in clearing bacilli from the tissues of patients suffering from various forms of leprosy. the test involves the intradermal injection of a suspension of killed mycobacterium leprae. the response of leprosy patients to the injection of other mycobacterial antigens, one prepared from m. lepraemurium and another from an atypical mycobacterium from a hamster, was also investigated in order to study the isopathic phenomenon. since l ...19724561454
immunological determination of mycobacterium leprae by means of cytoplasmic antigens.mycobacterium leprae was isolated and purified from lepromas, the spleen, and the liver of leprosy patients. an immunodiffusion analysis of the cytoplasms obtained from four lots of m. leprae and m. lepraemurium, 295 strains of different actinomycetales, and 12 other bacteria was performed with the use of the cytoplasm antisera. immunological relationships were revealed between the cytoplasms of m. leprae, m. lepraemurium, m. avium, m. gallinarum, m. tuberculosis, m. simiae, m. kansasii, m. chit ...19724559465

in vitro effects of some chemotherapeutic agents on mycobacteria.examination of the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects of nine antibiotics on atypical mycobacteria revealed that streptovaricin complex and streptovaricin c exerted bactericidal effects on several strains in concentrations lower than 1.0 mug/ml. an exposure to the drug for 48 hr at 37 c was necessary to effect a complete inactivation of more than 99.9% of the exposed microorganisms. the appearance of strepto-varicin-resistant mutants was observed. however, these mutants were unstable, and r ...19674383871
