restriction of gut-derived endotoxin impairs dna synthesis for liver regeneration.the influence of restricting gut-derived endotoxin availability on liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy was evaluated. partial hepatectomy was performed by 67% liver resection of ether-anesthetized rats. liver regeneration was quantified after partial hepatectomy by [3h]thymidine incorporation into hepatic dna; endotoxemia due to absorption of endogenous endotoxin from the gut into the portal circulation was determined by qualitative lysate assay of perchloric acid-extracted plasma sampl ...19853904484
salmonella bacteremia associated with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids).six cases of bacteremia due to serotypes of salmonella enteritidis are described in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids). in four instances the bacteremia was recurrent despite appropriate antimicrobial treatment. neither a gastrointestinal tract source nor any other focus of infection could be identified in four of the six patients. in one patient an unusual salmonella infection, ie, pyelonephritis, was noted. the discovery of salmonella sepsis led in four cases to the in ...19853904653
increase in the susceptibility of salmonella strains to bactericidal activity of cord serum following treatment with agents disturbing surface structures.salmonella strains resistant to normal cord serum were found to become susceptible to it when the outer membrane was damaged by colistin, adult normal serum or tris-hcl buffer. the present results indicate that after such treatment cord sera exert bactericidal effect, despite significant deficiencies in factors playing an essential role in this process.19853904666
endogenous gut-derived bacterial endotoxin tonically primes pancreatic secretion of insulin in normal rats.this laboratory has proposed that endogenous gut-derived bacterial endotoxin primes the pancreatic secretion of insulin in normal rats. endogenous lipopolysaccharide (lps) is continually absorbed from the gut into intestinal capillaries, and low-grade portal venous endotoxemia is the status quo. under physiologic conditions, kupffer cells of the liver totally phagocytize and degrade endotoxin from the portal circulation. evidence from this and other laboratories indicates that administration of ...19853905458

gallium-67 localization in a mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta.localization of ga-67 in a mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta in a renal transplant recipient is reported. this procedure complements other imaging methods in the diagnosis of this serious condition and may be preferable to in-111 leukocytes because of its ready availability.19853907924
in vitro blastogenic response and immunoglobulin synthesis in murine spleen cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharides from campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli.lipopolysaccharides isolated from strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli were mitogenic for spleen cells as measured by 3h-thymidine incorporation. the incorporation was dose dependent with an increase with increased concentration of lps. addition of lps beyond 500 micrograms/ml gave inhibition of incorporation. stimulation of the spleen cells for 3 days with lps led to a polyclonal activation of immunoglobulin synthesis. the amount of immunoglobulins synthesised showed a maximum ...19853909739
in vitro lymphokine release by lymphocytes from mice infected with salmonella.lymphocytes generated in mice by infection with salmonella enteritidis 11rx release interleukin 2 and macrophage activation factor upon subsequent in vitro culture with bacterial antigens. lymphokine release requires the co-culture of non-adherent sensitized lyt 1+2- t cells and adherent metabolically active accessory cells; the interaction between these two populations is restricted by the h-2 i-a locus. following systemic immunization with the 11rx strain, the two lymphokines are produced in p ...19853911930

spectrofluorometric and microfluorometric quantitation of antibacterial antibodies, using indirect immune fluorescence. preliminary report.the igg-fraction of rabbit hyperimune serum raised towards smooth salmonella typhimurium 395 ms (parent strain) and rough 395 mr10 (rd-mutant) was used in indirect immunofluorescence with bacteria in suspension or adsorbed to glass microscope slides. in the first case, igg-mediated fluorescence was determined with a standard cuvette-type spectrofluorometer; in the second case, in epifluorescence mode with a microscope fluorometer. in both assays the igg solution could be diluted to about 0.1 mic ...19853914822
phage types and epidemiological significance of salmonella enteritidis strains in hungary between 1976 and 1983.in hungary, 14 819 human salmonella enteritidis strains were isolated between 1976 and 1983. phage type was determined of 10 132 human strains originating from 6852 foci, and of 711 strains isolated from animals and water in this period. the human strains were typable in 99.4% and they belonged into 21 phage types. five phage types (1, 4, 7, 16 and 17) were more frequent than 1%. phage type 7 predominated among the strains isolated between 1976 and 1980, including 65.6%-89.3% of the strains. the ...19853915176
reactive hyperemic responses of single arterioles are attenuated markedly after intestinal ischemia, endotoxemia and traumatic shock: possible role of endothelial cells.there is at present no agreement as to why several organs in the body are often compromised very early after either blood and fluid loss or sepsis. close inspection (utilizing electron microscopy) usually reveals that a great many of the endothelial cells (ec) are either destroyed, transformed, or have undergone morphological changes. since: the intimal lining of blood vessels, i.e., ec, may be important in mediating vasodilator substances and mechanisms; and early in shock and trauma, the perip ...19853915339
salmonella vertebral osteomyelitis and epidural abscess in a child with sickle cell anemia.a case of salmonella vertebral osteomyelitis with epidural abscess in a child with sickle cell anemia is presented. spinal osteomyelitis is a rare event in children. although osteomyelitis in sickle cell anemia may occur in any bone, it has most often been documented as beginning in the medullary cavity of the long and tubular bones. this is in contrast to the clinical presentation of osteomyelitis in the normal individual, who is likely to have infection beginning in and restricted to the metap ...19853916460
the bacteriolytic action of mt-141, a new cephamycin antibiotic, on gram-negative bacteria.mt-141, a new cephamycin (7 alpha-methoxy-cephalosporin) antibiotic with a d-cysteine moiety in its 7 beta-side chain, has binding affinities to penicillin-binding proteins of escherichia coli and an inhibitory action on their transpeptidase activity similar to those of other structurally related cephamycins. yet this antibiotic was found to exert an exceedingly strong and rapid lytic action on sensitive gram-negative bacteria such as e. coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, serratia marcescens and salmo ...19853920178
properties of human anti-lipopolysaccharide gamma globulin: specificity and protective effects.blood donated to the natal blood transfusion service was screened by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for anti-lipopolysaccharide (anti-lps) antibodies. plasma units with high concentrations (greater than 40 micrograms/ml) of anti-lps igg were pooled and fractionated to obtain a gamma globulin (lot lg-1). the binding of lg-1 antibodies to lps prepared from 14 bacterial species and strains was found to be the highest to lps from shigella flexneri, salmonella abortus equi and salmonell ...19853922117
the diagnostic utility of the febrile agglutinin tests.the purpose of our study was to analyze the use of febrile agglutinin (fa) serologic tests in the diagnosis of salmonella (typhi and paratyphi), rickettsia, brucella, and francisella infections. data were collected in a retrospective chart study of 202 titer requests covering a 42-month period at our teaching hospital. we found that no diagnoses were made by utilizing complete six-antigen fa panels. three cases of infection were diagnosed serologically, all three with more discriminately selecte ...19853927019
release of galactosyltransferase from peritoneal macrophages during acute inflammation.peritoneal cells harvested from mice injected with salmonella enteritidis or thioglycollate released large amounts of galactosyltransferase (gt), but not sialyltransferase, into their culture supernatants. maximum release of gt (using ovalbumin as acceptor) occurred from cells harvested 2-4 days after primary injection, but little gt was released from cells elicited by a secondary injection of salmonella or ovalbumin in sensitised mice or during intraperitoneal allogeneic reactions. enzyme relea ...19853930517
relapse following cessation of antibiotic therapy for mouse typhoid in resistant and susceptible mice infected with salmonellae of differing virulence.relapse after cessation of ampicillin therapy in inbred mice infected with salmonellae was studied. the incidence of relapse was influenced by the following. (a) the mouse strain, with gentically susceptible animals more likely to relapse than genetically resistant animals; a possible role for the ity gene was observed. (b) the virulence of the infecting organism, with a more virulent strain causing relapse in both resistant and susceptible mice, a less virulent strain causing relapse in neither ...19853930625

modulation of in vitro natural cell-mediated activity against enteropathogenic bacteria by simple sugars.lymphoid cells from mouse peyer's patches and spleens were tested in a 2-h in vitro assay for their natural activity against the enteropathogenic bacteria salmonella typhimurium, salmonella enteritidis, salmonella tel aviv, and shigella sp. x16. the antibacterial activity expressed by normal cells was detected against all the bacterial strains tested with the exception of peyer's patch lymphocytes against s. tel aviv and splenocytes against shigella sp. x16. to determine whether the different ex ...19853967926
exchange transfusions in rats with a perfluorated blood substitute: effect on thromboxane b2 levels during endotoxemia.the effect of exchange transfusion with the perfluorated blood substitute (fluosol-43) on endotoxin-induced synthesis of immunoreactive (i) thromboxane (tx)b2, the stable metabolite of txa2, was investigated in rats. fluosol-43 was infused via the femoral vein with matched, incremental blood withdrawal from the carotid artery. blood was replaced with fluosol-43 to a final hematocrit of less than 3% in anesthetized rats maintained on 95% o2 and 5% co2. circulating platelet counts were reduced fro ...19853978769
a role for the spleen in the appearance of igm in the bile of rats injected intravenously with horse erythrocytes.the i.v. injection of the particulate antigens horse red blood cells (hrbc) and salmonella enteritidis into rats results in the appearance of high levels of igm agglutinating antibody in the serum and bile. this is in contrast to the appearance of specific iga antibodies in bile after the injection of antigen into the peyer's patches. at the height of the response, a fivefold to 10-fold increase in total igm was found in bile, whereas there was no increase in iga or in total protein levels. the ...19853998463
the frequency of salmonellae on duck eggs.total plate counts on washed duck eggs from a breeder farm on long island were less than 30/shell during the winter (january to february) of 1982. clean unwashed eggs had counts less than 9 x 10(1)/shell, whereas dirty unwashed eggs had counts as high as 9 x 10(5)/shell. our results showed that washing with a chlorine sanitizer (under commercial conditions) was highly effective in reducing surface bacterial counts on egg shells. prolonged storage reduced bacterial counts on clean eggs, but it di ...19854001051
immunoglobulin m and immunoglobulin g responses in balb/c mice to conjugated outer membrane extracts of four salmonella serotypes.outer membranes (oms) of salmonella enteritidis, s. anatum, s. typhimurium, and s. infantis were extracted and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to form a large macromolecular antigen. the antigen consisted of om proteins and lipopolysaccharide and was designated 4-omp-lps. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of extracted oms from each serotype revealed differences in protein profiles. s. enteritidis and s. infantis possessed a greater variety of proteins than did s. anatum and s. typhimurium. imm ...19854030094

left ventricular function during lethal and sublethal endotoxemia in swine.our previous studies suggested that after a median lethal dose (ld50) of endotoxin, cardiac contractility was depressed in nonsurviving dogs. the canine cardiovascular system is unlike humans in that dogs have a hepatic vein sphincter that is susceptible to adrenergic stimulation capable of raising hepatic and splanchnic venous pressures. we retested the hypothesis that lethality after endotoxin administration is associated with cardiac contractile depression in pigs, because the hepatic circula ...19863526928
oral immunization of mice with attenuated salmonella enteritidis containing a recombinant plasmid which codes for production of the b subunit of heat-labile escherichia coli enterotoxin.we used salmonella enteritidis serotype dublin strain sl1438, a nonreverting, aromatic-dependent, histidine-requiring mutant, as a recipient for a recombinant plasmid coding for production of the nontoxic b subunit of the heat-labile escherichia coli enterotoxin. the s. enteritidis derivative el23 produced heat-labile enterotoxin subunit b that was indistinguishable from heat-labile enterotoxin subunit b produced by strains of e. coli or salmonella typhi harboring the same plasmid. mice immunize ...19863527989

the in vitro effects of salmonella enteriditis on urinary stone formation.salmonella enteriditis has been previously found to have both unique inhibiting and augmenting properties on urinary stone formation. a series of in vitro experiments were performed in order to determine if the in vivo results could be explained in an in vitro model. urinary phosphorus was measured before and after incubation with various bacteria, and was found to increase significantly when incubated with s. enteriditis (p less than 0.05). urinary citrate was measured in a similar fashion foll ...19863534306
endotoxin increases pulmonary vascular protein permeability in the dog.endotoxin increases pulmonary vascular permeability consistently in some species but fails to reliably cause injury in the dog. we wondered whether this phenomenon depended on the method of injury assessment, as others have relied on edema measurement; we quantified injury by monitoring the rate of extravascular protein accumulation. 113min-labeled protein and 99mtc-labeled erythrocytes were injected into anesthetized dogs and monitored by an externally placed lung probe. a protein leak index, t ...19863536835

the serum bactericidal and opsonizing defect in sickle cell anaemia: restoration of activity by control serum.thirty-eight homozygous sickler sera were compared with a large pool of serum from healthy african non-sicklers with regard to bactericidal and phagocytic indices. one third of the sera showed reduced bactericidal activity against salmonella enteritidis which was restored by the addition of 4% control serum; control serum provided both heat-labile (hl) and absorbable (abs) serum factors. 76% of test sera showed greatly defective opsonization as indicated by ingestion by normal human neutrophils. ...19863538524
curative properties of muramyl dipeptide in experimental naegleria meningoencephalitis.naegleria fowleri is a free-living amoeba which causes a fatal meningoencephalitis in man. mice injected with the immunostimulant mdp or an attenuated 11rx strain of salmonella enteritidis showed some resistance to an intranasal challenge with n. fowleri. in addition it was observed that some of the mice infected with n. fowleri and showing symptoms of naegleria meningoencephalitis, given a single injection of mdp were cured of this disease. our findings suggest that the use of immunostimulants ...19863538525
purification and characterization of fimbriae from salmonella enteritidis.a human isolate of salmonella enteritidis which displayed strong pellicle formation during static broth culture and mannose-sensitive hemagglutination produced fimbriae which were morphologically indistinguishable from type 1 fimbriae of members of the family enterobacteriaceae. fimbrin was purified to homogeneity, and the apparent molecular weight (mr, 14,400) was markedly lower than that reported for the type 1 fimbrin of salmonella typhimurium (mr, 22,100). this fimbrin contained 40% hydropho ...19862875990
differential regulation of effector responses of cell mediated immunity in experimental salmonellosis.delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) and protective cell mediated immunity showed different profiles with respect to time following intraperitoneal immunization with live salmonella enteritidis. whereas the dth response decreased with time the protection index increased. the decline in dth response was found to be associated with suppressor cells generated by intraperitoneal immunization and could be prevented by cyclophosphamide treatment prior to immunization. it was concluded that the two effe ...19862938854
augmented induction of interferons during listeria monocytogenes infection.mice infected iv with an immunizing dose of the gram-positive bacterium, listeria monocytogenes, produced circulating interferon (ifn) during the inductive phase of the immune response to listeria. listeria infection also dramatically altered the host's responsiveness to ifn-inducing agents. within 24 hr of infection, mice acquired a 50-fold greater than normal capacity to produce the ifn alpha and/or ifn beta classes (ifn alpha/beta) following iv injection of endotoxin. serum levels of ifn alph ...19863084667
cross-reactions in cell-mediated immunity to salmonella causing enteric fever.cross-reactivity in a delayed-type hypersensitivity (dh) response was studied in mice immunised with live salmonella typhi, s. paratyphi a and s. paratyphi b. extensive cross-reactions outside the serogroup limits were observed. the ability of dh cross-reacting and non-cross-reacting sonicates to generate activated macrophages was studied in mice immunised 3 months earlier with s. paratyphi b. whereas dh cross-reacting s. poona sonicate generated activated macrophages the non-cross-reacting s. t ...19863084790

[interference of the intestinal ecosystem of mice in the oral administration of lyophilized live bacteria].oral vaccines mode by living or killed bacteria are commonly used to restore normal intestinal flora; it's not well know, however, which bacteria play the leading part in this ecosystem. in the present paper authors have intended to compare the effectiveness of an oral vaccine, made by bifidobacterium bifidus and lactobacillus acidofilus, with another of similar use, made by enterococci, to increase the mouse resistance to lethal salmonella enteritidis infections. according to collected microbio ...19863119409
cloned, random chromosomal sequences as probes to identify salmonella species.we have developed and evaluated a new technique--chromosomal probe fingerprinting--to differentiate between strains of salmonella species by using sequences of cloned chromosomal dna as probes to highlight restriction site heterogeneity. chromosomal probe fingerprint patterns were compared with other strain-typing methods and epidemiological data. seventeen isolates of salmonella typhimurium recovered from 11 outbreaks had six unique chromosomal probe fingerprint patterns. most strains of salmon ...19863011919
characteristics of myocardial beta-adrenergic receptors during endotoxicosis in the rat.the effects of in vivo endotoxin administration on beta-adrenergic receptors in rat ventricle membranes were studied using [3h]dihydroalprenolol as a radioligand. nonlinear regression analysis of saturation binding indicated one-site binding of antagonist in both control and endotoxic tissues. there was no change in maximum binding or dissociation constant of [3h]dihydroalprenolol at 0.5 or 3 h after endotoxin administration or when the rats were in the agonal stage of shock. isoproterenol compe ...19863017135
polymyxin-b inhibition of lps-induced interleukin-1 secretion by human monocytes is dependent upon the lps origin.polymyxin-b (pmb) is an antibiotic known to inhibit various biological activities induced by lipopolysaccharides (lps). we have investigated the ability of pmb to inhibit lps-induced interleukin-1 (il-1) secretion by human monocytes in vitro. interleukin-1 was assayed by the conventional comitogenic assay using mice thymocytes. our data demonstrate that pmb (1-2 micrograms/assay)-mediated inhibition of lps-induced il-1 secretion depends on the origin of the lps. interleukin-1 secretions induced ...19863023974
beneficial effects of a leukotriene antagonist on endotoxin-induced acute hemodynamic alterations.the role of lipoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid as inflammatory mediators of endotoxin shock remains uncertain. in this study the effect of ly171883, a selective leukotriene d4/e4 antagonist, on the hemodynamic alterations of endotoxin shock was assessed. adult male rats were given an intraperitoneal injection of ly171883 (30 mg/kg) or vehicle 10 minutes prior to intravenous injection of endotoxin (15 mg/kg) or vehicle. cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, and multiple organ blood fl ...19873038364
modulation of arachidonic acid metabolism in experimental arthritis induced by salmonella enteritidis. i. effect of ibuprofen and flurbiprofen on experimental arthritis induced by salmonella enteritidis.oral administration of two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen and flurbiprofen, can suppress the salmonella-induced arthritis in rats. the joint swelling index of arthritic paws showed suppression of arthritis in animals treated with the drugs, this effect being greater with flurbiprofen. measurement of 5 eicosanoids in femoral vein plasma showed increase of arachidonic acid products in salmonella-treated rats. inhibition of joint inflammation resulting from treatment with ibuprofen ...19873124133
survival of pathogenic bacteria in environmental microcosms.the survival times of salmonella enteritidis, pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococcus aureus, and vibrio cholerae in natural soil and river water samples were monitored by using various differential media. s. aureus and v. cholerae failed to survive in samples of soil, groundwater, and river water with various degrees of eutrophication. the population of the introduced s. enteritidis remained fairly constant in all three samples of soils tested. in water samples, numbers of s. enteritidis and p. ...19873130237
