complement-independence of the acute-phase production of serum amyloijd p-component (sap) in mice.mice depleted of circulating c3 by injection of cobra factor (cof), the c3-activating protein of cobra (naja naja) venom, mounted the same acute-phase responses of serum amyloid p-component (sap) to subsequent injection of casein, bacterial lipopolysaccharide or croton oil as did normal control mice. there was also evidence for accelerated synthesis of c3 itself in response to injection of these acute-phase stimulants in cof-treated mice. on the other hand complement activation produced by injec ...19807000131
factors affecting the ability of various strains of enterobacteriaceae to induce tumour resistance in mice.primary infection of mice with salmonella enteritidis 11rx (11rx) confers resistance to challenge with 10(4) ld50 doses of ehrlich ascites tumour (eat). a lipopolysaccharide-free protein extract of 11rx is capable of eliciting delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) reactions in these mice and of "recalling" tumour resistance in long-term 11rx immunised mice, which no longer exhibit any resistance to tumour challenge. in the present study, we have examined the ability of five other strains of entero ...19807002136
cholera toxin-like toxin released by salmonella species in the presence of mitomycin c.several serotypes of salmonella were shown to release increased amounts of a cholera toxin-like toxin during culture in vitro with mitomycin c (mtc). filter-sterilized culture supernatants containing the toxin caused elongation of chinese hamster ovary cells, which could be blocked by heating the supernatants at 100 degrees c for 15 min or by adding mixed gangliosides or monospecific cholera antitoxin. when mtc was not added to the salmonella cultures, little or no toxin was detected in crude, u ...19807002788
mapping of genes determining penicillin-resistance and serum-sensitivity in salmonella enteritidis.two presumptive single-step mutants, resistant to penicillin and sensitive to the bactericidal effect of normal human serum, were isolated on penicillin gradient plates from a smooth, penicillin-sensitive, serum-resistant strain of salmonella enteritidis (o9,12; gal hisei cys). the chemical composition of their lipopolysaccharides, their phage-sensitivity patterns, and their serological and cultural properties showed one to be 'part-rough' and the other smooth. hfr strains with o antigens o4,5,1 ...19807003058

an outbreak of infection with salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 associated with the use of raw shell eggs.a community outbreak of salmonella enteritidis phage type (pt) 4 infection, associated with eating food from a sandwich bar in colchester, occurred in july 1991. one hundred and forty-four people were reported with food poisoning, of whom 132 met the clinical case definition. three cohort studies of 92 people showed that illness was associated with the consumption of food containing mayonnaise. s. enteritidis pt4, indistinguishable by plasmid profile analysis, was isolated from stool samples fro ...19937507771
the role of a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase c in the production of diacylglycerol for nitric oxide synthesis in macrophages activated by ifn-gamma and lps.murine macrophages activated by interferon (ifn)-gamma and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps) produce large amounts of nitric oxide (no), which is a critical mediator for a variety of biological functions. the expression of this inducible no synthase (inos) involves a protein kinase c (pkc)-dependent pathway, but the mechanism for the pkc activation in this system is unclear. through analysis of diacylglycerol (dag) synthesis and choline metabolism in activated macrophages, direct evidence is pr ...19947510953
detection of salmonella-specific l3t4+ and lyt-2+ t cells which can proliferate in vitro and mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity reactivity.this study was based on an initial observation that, although culture of t cells from salmonella-infected mice with concanavalin a induced both l3t4+ t cells and lyt-2+ t cells to proliferate, there was a relative increase in the responsiveness of the lyt-2+ t cells in suspensions harvested from mice with secondary infection. accordingly, primed t cells, obtained from the peritoneal cavities and spleens of mice that had received one or two intraperitoneal doses of salmonella were examined for th ...19947512525
usefulness of molecular genetic markers in the typing of salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis causing a food-borne outbreak.a combination of serotyping-phagetyping and three molecular genetic markers (plasmid analysis, chromosomic dna restriction pattern and ribosomal rna gene restriction pattern or ribotyping) was used in the typing of salmonella enterica causing a food-borne outbreak. the isolates analysed, 29 from stools and eight from foods, belonging to serovar enteritidis-phagetype a, carried a 36-mda plasmid, showed a similar dna restriction pattern and the same ribopattern. these data indicate that only one s ...19947521196

identification of the domain which determines the g,m serotype of the flagellin of salmonella enteritidis.clones expressing fragments of the flagellin protein of salmonella enteritidis were constructed and screened with a g,m-specific monoclonal antibody. results showed that the g,m epitope is localized between amino acids 258 and 348 of the flagellin. the flic gene, encoding the flagellin of s. enteritidis, was proven to be the only flagellin gene present in s. enteritidis.19957533759
reiter's syndrome and reactive arthritis: a current view.this paper reviews advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of reactive arthritis that have occurred over the last decade. inflammatory aseptic joint disease has been linked with prior infection initiated by many different species of microorganisms. the presence of intra-articular bacterial antigens has now been firmly established with the demonstration of bacteria, bacterial fragments, dna, rna, and bacterial lipopolysaccharide in joints of patients with reactive arthritis. chlamydia t ...19947534942
development and evaluation of two novel oligonucleotide probes based on 16s rrna sequence for the identification of salmonella in foods.dna sequence in the v3 to v6 region of the 16s rrna gene of salmonella enteritidis was determined. by comparison of this sequence with those of escherichia coli and proteus vulgaris obtained from genbank/embl database, three oligonucleotides termed as 16s i, 16s ii and 16s iii were synthesized. hybridization of these oligonucleotides with 325 salmonella isolates and some non-salmonella isolates including the salmonella closely related species of the family of enterobacteriaceae showed that 16s i ...19957538992

toxigenicity of culture filtrates of salmonella enteritidis isolates on three mammalian cell lines.culture filtrates of 28 salmonella enteritidis isolates were tested for toxicity on vero-, cho-, and human foreskin fibroblast (hff) cells. cytopathic effects on hff cells were extensive, and were observed even with some filtrates diluted 1:256. vero cells showed effects with filtrates diluted up to 1:16, and cho cells gave weak or no reaction. all isolates produced iron-binding siderophores as determined by reactions on chrome-azurol-s medium.19957553360
outbreak investigation: the need for 'quick and clean' epidemiology.epidemiology investigations of outbreaks of infectious disease have to be carried out rapidly but must be methodologically sound. in 14 of 25 consecutive salmonella outbreaks in wales from 1986 to 1990 case-control or cohort studies were undertaken. food vehicles of infection were identified by statistically significant associations with cases in 13 of the 14, including three outbreaks where there were less than 10 cases. the particular problems of epidemiological field investigations are discus ...19957558549
[five cases of non-typhoid salmonellosis in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus in senegal].among the opportunistic infections observed during infection with human immunodeficiency virus, recurrent non-typhoid salmonella bacteriemia has not been widely documented in black africa. this retrospective study identified 5 cases of non-typhoid salmonellosis in a series of 27 seropositive patients, i.e. 18.5%, hospitalized over a two-year period in an internal medicine department in senegal. all 27 patients presented general or digestive manifestations and were in the stage of full-blown aids ...19957564993
[bactericidal activity of 6 antibiotics and 3 combinations against 6 strains of salmonella isolated from blood].the bactericidal activity of 6 antibiotics and 3 combinations was evaluated against 6 salmonella strains isolated from blood: 3 sensitive to all antibiotics tested (1 salmonella typhi, 1 salmonella paratyphi a et 1 salmonella enteritidis) and 3 harbouring a tem penicillinase (1 salmonella typhi, 1 salmonella virchow et 1 salmonella typhimurium). mics of 6 antibiotics, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, cefoperazone, ciprofloxacin, amikacin and chloramphenicol were determined by microdilution method in mue ...19957567112

aminoguanidine selectively decreases cyclic gmp levels produced by inducible nitric oxide synthase.overproduction of nitric oxide (no) following induction of no synthase in vascular smooth muscle by endotoxin and certain cytokines contributes to the vasodilation and hyporesponsiveness to vasopressors that characterize the septic circulation. guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cgmp) mediates the effects of no in vascular smooth muscle. vessels from animals treated with endotoxin have elevated cgmp levels compared with control animals. aminoguanidine has been proposed as a selective inhibito ...19957582301
salmonella outbreak from microwave cooked food.following a buffet meal served to six guests at a private domestic function, five of the guests and the host developed symptoms of food poisoning. salmonella enteritidis phage type 4 (pt4) was isolated from all four individuals who submitted faecal samples for investigation. leftover samples of a savoury rice dish consumed by all six ill persons contained 6 x 10(3)/gm salmonella enteritidis pt4. the rice salad comprised boiled rice, raw carrots, eggs, cheese and curry powder. the curry powder an ...19957589262
nitric oxide donor prevents hepatic and systemic perfusion decrease induced by endotoxin in anesthetized rabbits.controversial studies have been published concerning the role of nitric oxide (no) release (beneficial or deleterious) during sepsis. severe hypotension has been treated by no inhibitors in humans, but animal studies described an increased mortality rate with this treatment. we hypothesized that an no donor might be beneficial in maintaining liver flow during endotoxemia. to answer that question, mean arterial pressure (map), aortic, hepatic artery, and portal vein blood flow velocities (aov, ha ...19957590674
migration of salmonella enteritidis from the albumen into the egg yolk.migration of salmonella enteritidis from the albumen into the egg yolk was investigated in 860 eggs. after artificial contamination of the albumen with different doses of s. enteritidis phage-type 4 the migration and the effect of temperature on the migration process during a storage period of up to 4 weeks were studied. the experiments showed that the first cells can be detected in the yolk within a few days. the process will be relatively rare during chilled storage if the albumen is only slig ...19957599034
interaction of dexamethasone and salmonella enteritidis immune lymphokines on salmonella enteritidis organ invasion and in vitro polymorphonuclear leukocyte function.we used an anti-inflammatory dose of dexamethasone (dex) and salmonella enteritidis (se)-immune lymphokines (ilk) followed by oral se challenge to chicks to determine the effects of these treatments on se organ invasion and in vitro function of pmns derived from peripheral blood. endpoints included percent protection against se organ invasion, numbers of peripheral blood pmns, and in vitro pmn adherence, chemotaxis, and se killing. se organ invasion was significantly reduced in chicks treated wi ...19957599601
differences in the multiplication of salmonella enteritidis strains in liquid whole egg: implications for detecting contaminated eggs from commercial laying flocks.bacterial culturing of eggs for salmonella enteritidis has become an important tool in efforts to identify laying flocks that potentially threaten public health. as pools of egg contents are generally incubated before culturing to allow s. enteritidis numbers to multiply to easily detectable levels, any differences in the multiplication of s. enteritidis strains in egg pools could result in similar differences in the likelihood of detection. to assess whether 12 s. enteritidis strains would mult ...19957603967
contraction to endothelin-1 in pulmonary arteries from endotoxin-treated rats is modulated by endothelium.sepsis is characterized by hyporesponsiveness of vascular smooth muscle to pressor agents. levels of the potent vasoconstrictor, endothelin-1 (et-1), are elevated in animal models of sepsis and in patients. this study assesses the contractile response of pulmonary artery from endotoxin-pretreated rats to et-1 to determine whether this contraction is modified by the endothelium. both intact and denuded rings from endotoxin-pretreated rats exhibited hyporesponsiveness to et-1, but the endothelium ...19957611476
salmonella enteritidis: the egg and i.the world-wide clinical incidence of salmonella enteritidis has increased markedly. the increase is associated with the enhanced ability of the bacterium to systemically colonise layer chickens. subsequent contamination and consumption of intact shell eggs from colonised layer hens, either directly or in foods containing raw or lightly cooked eggs, causes human disease. despite investigation, no change in the biology of the bacterium has been correlated with increased colonisation in chickens. t ...19957611983
