antimicrobial effects of a new carboxyquinolone drug, q-35, on five serogroups of leptospira interrogans.new carboxyquinolone drugs, including the recently developed q-35, were evaluated for their in vitro potency against five serogroups of leptospira interrogans. q-35, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and tosufloxacin showed mics (0.05 to 0.20 microgram/ml) comparable to those of tetracycline. however, mbcs of these drugs varied between 10- and 100-fold above the mic for most strains tested. q-35 was shown to be active against l. interrogans in vitro as judged by the mics obtained.19938388204
[a severe course of leptospirosis with acute kidney failure and extensive icterus (weil disease)].a 77-year-old man developed a fever up to 38.4 degrees c, with diarrhoea, acute renal failure (creatinine up to 8.7 mg/dl; urea up to 308 mg/dl) and marked jaundice (total bilirubin up to 24.3 mg/dl). in addition there was thrombocytopenia, conjunctivitis and epistaxis, as well as cerebral symptoms with somnolence and general slowing up. at first he was thought to have cholangitis resulting from previously diagnosed gall-stones, and he was therefore treated with ampicillin, 2 g two times daily, ...19938404498
outbreak of leptospirosis associated with swimming.between july 7 and 18, 1991, five boys from a small town in rural illinois experienced the onset of an acute febrile illness subsequently confirmed as leptospirosis by serologic tests. a cohort study found that swimming in a small swimming hole, steel tunnel pond, was associated with disease (p < 0.01), the attack rate being 28%. leptospira interrogans serovar grippotyphosa was isolated from urine cultures from two of the case patients and from a culture of steel tunnel pond water. a high seropr ...19938417426
opsonization of treponema pallidum is mediated by immunoglobulin g antibodies induced only by pathogenic treponemes.rabbit antisera to leptospira interrogans, borrelia hermsii, and treponema phagedenis biotype reiter, reactive to shared spirochetal antigens, failed to enhance phagocytosis of treponema pallidum by macrophages, while immunoglobulin g to treponema pallidum subsp. pertenue and treponema paraluiscuniculi promoted phagocytosis. opsonic antibodies are directed to pathogen-restricted, not shared spirochetal, antigens.19938423106
identification of species-specific, non-cross-reactive proteins of borrelia burgdorferi.the low specificity of diagnostic tests for lyme disease is due to the fact that borrelia burgdorferi possesses many antigenic proteins that are cross-reactive with other spirochetes and bacteria. the low sensitivity is a result of high (> or = 1:100) dilutions used for patient sera during testing to eliminate non-specific cross-reactivity. the present study was conducted to identify species-specific non-cross-reactive protein(s) of b. burgdorferi that might be used as antigen(s) in serologic te ...19938425377
