| antibody formation in corynebacterium renale-induced experimental pyelonephritis in the rat. | the immune defense system of the kidney was studied by inducing ascending pyelonephritis in rats with corynebacterium renale. with the fluorescent antibody technique, c renale organisms were observed in the renal pelvis, but were not coated with antibody until they reached the medulla. histopathologic evaluation of renal tissues collected serially after inoculation confirmed the presence of infection in the medulla when antibody coating occurred. serum anti-c renale antibody concentrations incre ... | 1979 | 525896 |
| [a trial on nutritionally forced mating of conventional glutamate-producing bacteria]. | by nutritionally forced mating, we tried to find the sex factor in glutamate producing bacteria with some auxtrophic mutants of corynebacterium glutamicum, micrococcus glutamicus and brevibacterium divaricatum. we failed to find true mates in this trial, even when the cells cured by acridine orange were used to mate with non-cured ones. there were some positive growth when two densed cell suspensions were dropped on the minimum medium, but after subcultured on the minimum medium no growth was fo ... | 1979 | 583276 |
| minimal nitrogen requirements of corynebacterium renal strains. | corynebacterium renale strain 10849 was grown in a chemically defined medium containing glucosamine, ammonium sulfate, and 5 amino acids as possible nitrogen sources. although glucosamine was slightly stimulatory, its omission from the medium had a minimal effect on growth, and washed cells introduced into glucosamine-free medium grew readily through 10 serial transfers, demonstrating that this compound was not required for growth. individual omissions of isoleucine, valine, methionine, and glut ... | 1978 | 629434 |
| pili-mediated attachment of corynebacterium renale to mucous membrane of urinary bladder of mice. | corynebacterium renal strain 115 with numerous pili became attached in vivo to the mucous membrane of the urinary bladder of mice 10 to 30 times more frequently than did that of c renale american type culture collection 19412, which showed few pili. antipili serum-treated c renale strain 115 was not recovered from the membrane in as large amounts as was untreated bacteria. antisomatic serum-treated strain 115, on the other hand, was recovered from the membrane in amounts similar to untreated bac ... | 1978 | 629438 |
| influence of iron on corynebacterium renale-induced pyelonephritis in a rat experimental model. | growth of corynebacterium renale in vitro on low-iron medium (1.34 micron) was only slightly less than that on high-iron media (7.16 and 9.85 micron). however, studies on c. renale-induced pyelonephritis using the rat as an experimental model revealed that c. renale cultivated in high-iron media was capable of producing pyelonephritis, but when grown on low-iron medium, these bacteria were noninfective. this apparent avirulence of the bacteria cultivated on low levels of iron could be reversed b ... | 1978 | 689735 |
| experimental model of corynebacterium renale pyelonephritis produced in mice. | corynebacterium renale type i (strain 115), 1.7 x 10(7) to 4.5 x 10(7) organisms, introduced intravenously into mice disappeared from the blood less than 24 h after inoculation and did not produce pyelonephritis. the same strain, 1 x 10(7) to 5 x 10(7) organisms, inoculated into the urinary bladder of mice was not recovered from the blood in any of the mice, but caused pyelonephritis accompanied by ureteritis and cystitis in 16 of 21 (76%) mice. pyelonephritis and cystitis in mice were histopath ... | 1977 | 873610 |
| experimental rat model for corynebacterium renale-induced pyelonephritis. | the laboratory rat was able to serve as a model for ascending pyelonephritis after implantation of a zinc disk coated with corynebacterium renale into the urinary bladder because it satisfied three different criteria for infection. the production of an alkaline urine and the presence of significant numbers of c. renale in the kidneys, as well as distinct pyelonephritic lesions as revealed by histological examination, were observed in all rats infected with c. renale. control rats that harbored s ... | 1977 | 591068 |
