effect of klebsiella pneumoniae enterotoxin on intestinal transport in the rat.the effects on intestinal transport of either a semipurified preparation of enterotoxin elaborated by klebsiella pneumoniae or similaryly prepared control material were tested by marker perfusion studies in the small intestine of rats. at a concentration of 2 mg/ml, the enterotoxin produced net secretion of water, na, and cl in both jejunal and ileal segments; hco3 transport was not affected. net secretion was evident within 30 min after intorduction of the toxin and was maximal after 90 min. th ...1975169297
endotoxins of anaerobic gram-negative rods.endotoxic lipopolysaccharides (lps) isolated from fusobacterium are similar to those of salmonella with respect to chemical composition, o-antigenic specificity and endotoxic activity. bacteroides lps are highly atypical with respect to the chemical composition, and their endotoxic activity is low. o-antigenic specificity is present. b. fragilis lps is chemotactic for polymorphonuclear leukocytes in vitro and in vivo. the chemotactic activity is brought about by activation of the alternative com ...197988759
non-specific immunity after local immunization.the most important advantage of local immunization is the non-specific effect. the active protection test in mice shows an immunity against oral infection with virulent salmonella typhimurium bacteria after oral immunization with heterologous inactivated enterobacteria. we observed the same non-specific protection in a viral model. after oral immunization with inactivated s. typhimurium bacteria, the mice are protected against oral infection with a virulent parapoliomyelitis virus. in the phagoc ...1976182583
increased histamine sensitivity in mice after administration of endotoxins.cfw mice given submicrogram doses of endotoxins intravenously became highly susceptible to the lethal effects of 0.5 mg of histamine given intraperitoneally 1 to 2 h later. the histamine-sensitizing effects of the endotoxins were transitory and disappeared within 6 to 8 h. l-epinephrine administered intravenously immediately after histamine challenge protected mice from death, but aterenol and isoproterenol were ineffective. the histamine-sensitizing effect in endotoxins was precipitated by anti ...1977188767

plaque-forming cell response in balb/c mice to two preparations of lps extracted from salmonella enteritidis.the pattern of development of antibody-forming cells in balb/c mice after immunization with pw-lps or tca-lps was shown to be different. on days 10 and 20, the primary response to pw-lps was characterized by a low level of igm synthesis. the plaque-forming cell (pfc) response to tca-lps, however, increased from day 10 to day 20. initially, igm was the only detectable antibody synthesized but by day 20 a significant number of igg-producing spleen cells had developed. after a secondary immunizatio ...197987428
the procoagulant activity of human granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes stimulated by endotoxin. coagulation and electron microscopic studies.leukocytes from donor blood were separated by ficoll/urovison density centrifugation into granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. the cell fractions were suspended in a culture medium to which endotoxin of salmonella enteritidis was added at a final concentration of 10 microgram/ml. endotoxin-stimulated monocytes developed a very high tissue factor (thromboplastin) activity while in granulocytes an only negligible amount of tissue factor activity was detectable. the tissue factor activity measu ...1977197302
genetic properties of the salmonella enteritidis r404 plasmid aggregate. iv. reconstruction in r404 plasmid aggregate and separation of twelve genetically distinct derivative forms.r404 plasmid aggregate is composed of two conjugative and two nonconjugative plasmids. plasmid aggregate reconstructed from separated plasmids had the same genetic properties as the original r404 plasmid aggregate. it was found that plasmids of r404 factor could be transferred in conjugation in twelve different sets. these twelve genetically distinct classes of transconjugants formed only six groups differing in phenotypic characters.197987112
assay, characterization, and localization of an enterotoxin produced by salmonella.an enterotoxic factor isolated from cultures of salmonella yielded reproducible results in the suckling mouse model in contrast to other animal models. the enterotoxin appears to possess properties similar to both the heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins of escherichia coli. preliminary results indicate that the toxin is a protein, is located in the cell wall or outer-membrane fraction, and is difficult to separate from other cell wall constituents.1975234910
genetic properties of the salmonella enteritidis r404 plasmid aggregate. iii. entry exclusion features of its separative forms.the genetic relationship of four plasmids separated from r404 plasmid aggregate has been characterized by investigating entry exclusion and intracellular incompatibility. it has been found that the four plasmids exist in an autonomous state in cells carrying the aggregate. they are compatible and the two conjugative plasmids possess different tras genes.197886280
genetic properties of the salmonella enteritidis r404 plasmid aggregate. ii. separation of plasmids by transformation.transformational separation of plasmids from r404 plasmid aggregate found in salmonella enteritidis strain was performed. three classes of transformants differing in their resistance patterns were isolated. genetic properties of the transformants suggest that their resistance is determined by single plasmids. plasmid pck3 (tra-apcbcrsusm) and pck4 (tra-apcbcrcm) are nonconjugative while plasmid pcg1 (traapcbcrsusmtckmnm) is conjugative. separation of all plasmids of r404 plasmid aggregate allowe ...197881594
genetic properties of the salmonella enteritidis r404 plasmid aggregate i. conjugational separation of different derivative plasmid aggregates and their genetic properties.conjugational transfer of r404 factor, found in salmonella enteritidis strain, was examined. six derivative forms differing in resistance pattern were isolated. the manner of conjugational separation during transfer of r404 factor from e. coli to e. coli strain was the same as from the original strain of s. enteritidis to e. coli strain. during following conjugation, all isolated forms except one, could give forms differing in a resistance pattern from the parenteral ones. this one form, from wh ...197775661
combined activitiy of clavulanic acid and ticarcillin against ticarcillin-resistant, gram-negative bacilli.fifty-one clinical isolates of ticarcillin-resistant, gram-negative bacilli were tested for susceptibility to combinations of ticarcillin and clavulanic acid (brl 14151), a potent beta-lactamase inhibitor. minimal inhibitory concentrations (mics) were measured by a microdilution method, and minimal bactericidal concentrations for selected strains were measured by the broth dilution method. ticarcillin mics were >/=128 mug/ml for all and >/=512 mug/ml for 38 (75%) of the strains. thirty-nine stra ...1978308792
[introduction of an additional h-agglutinating test antigen for the differentiation of specific positive reactions in pullorum disease-fowl typhoid in poultry experimentally infected with salmonella gallinarum-pullorum and salmonella enteritidis].explored were the possibilities to differentiate the specific positive reactions in case of pullorum disease in experimentally infected (salmonella gallinarum-pullorum and salmonella enteritidis) birds with the use of a typhoid test antigen and two h test antigens, obtained by the routinely employed method with formalin from salmonella enteritidis and salmonella adeoyo. it was demonstrated that the h-agglutinating antibodies persisted in the peripheral blood of the experimentally infected birds ...197775606
cell wall lipopolysaccharide response to the colib plasmid mutants.mutants of colib plasmid affected the synthesis of o-side chains of lipopolysaccharides (lps) in salmonella. the plasmid srd 25 (defective in colicin synthesis) caused a significant decline of rhamnose and mannose content and lack of abequose in lps of s. typhimurium. the number of repeating units in o-side chains was decreased after the indroduction of srd 25. cultures of s. typhimurium and s. enteritidis harboring drd2 (derepressed in colicin production) polymerised dideoxyhexose-defective o-s ...197659522
letter: colonic involvement in salmonellosis. 197659131
effect of the quality of the lipopolysaccharide on mouse virulence of salmonella enteritidis.the cell wall o antigen is known to affect mouse virulence of salmonella. we have shown earlier that s. typhimurium expressing somatic antigen 9,12 is less virulent than its 4,12 sister transductants in mice after intraperitoneal inoculation, suggesting that the 4,12-type o antigen is connected with high virulence in mice. in this report we show, in accord with this suggestion, that when the naturally occurring o-9,12 s. enteritidis is made o-4,12 by transduction, its virulence is increased. the ...197553202
[growth and lipopolysaccharide content of salmonellae grown in submersed cultures according to the batch-method. 2. communication: influence of growth phases on lipopolysaccharide synthesis (author's transl)].the paper describes cultivations of 4 salmonella s-forms and 1 sr mutant, performed in complex medium under constant conditions of temperature, ph and aeration. the experiments show that lipopolysaccharide (lps) biosynthesis underlies quantitative differences with the growth phases, resulting in changes in the lps content of the cell masses. during the exponential phase a decline takes place in the percentage of lps contained by the 4 s-forms. in addition, in the phase of delayed growth accelera ...197551551
salmonella enteritidis endocarditis. 1977321077
evidence for o antigens as the antigenic determinants in "ribosomal" vaccines prepared from salmonella.the nature of the protective substance in ribosomal ribonucleic acid and protein extracts of salmonella has been investigated. the results of experiments in which vaccines were prepared from isogenic strains and strains with defects in lipopolysaccharide synthesis show that o antigens contaminate both ribonucleic acid and protein ribosomal extracts, and are responsible for at least part of their strain-specific protective activity. in addition, it was observed that a ribosomal ribonucleic acid p ...197551007
salmonella empyema: a review.a 35-year-old man developed salmonella pleural empyema during a three-month illness. cultures of the empyema fluid yielded s enteritidis, serotype typhimurium. cure was achieved by decortication and obliteration of the pleural empyema space, in combination with chloramphenicol therapy given parenterally. review of the published reports revealed eight similar instances of salmonella empyema. manifestations and treatment of this group are reviewed.1977322305
interferon and cytotoxic factor (cytotoxin) released in the blood of mice infected with mycobacterium bovis bcg. i. enhanced production of interferon and appearance of cytotoxin stimulated by capsular polysaccharide of klebsiella pneumoniae or bacterial lipopolysaccharide.interferon production stimulated by the active substance (neutral fraction) of the capsular polysaccharide of klebsiella pneumoniae (neutral cps-k) in bcg-infected mice was compared with that by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps). prior infection with bcg increased the responsiveness of mice to the lethal effect of neutral cps-k as well as to that of lps. associated with this, bcg-infected mice showed a markedly enhanced ability to produce interferon after stimulation not only by lps but also by ...197941163
effect of sera from immunologically altered mice on phytohemagglutinin-induced mouse lymphocyte transformation.the dna-synthetic response of mouse spleen cells to phytohemagglutinin in vitro is depressed by the addition of normal mouse serum. the effects of sera from mice that had been modified immunologically were examined. increased depressive activity was found in sera from nude mice and from mice recently treated with anti-thymocyte globulin, but no change was found in sera from thymectomized, irradiated, bone marrow-reconstituted mice, nor from lethally or sublethally irradiated or cyclophosphamide- ...197613697
effect of capsular polysaccharide of klebsiella pneumoniae on host resistance to bacterial infections. i. induction of increased susceptibility to infections in mice.when klebsiella pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide (cps-k) from type 1, kasuya strain, was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) immediately before i.p. bacterial challenge, the survival time of mice infected with salmonella enteritidis nub 1 (virulent strain) was shortened and the mortality rate for mice infected with s. enteritidis nub 31 (avirulent strain) was enhanced. the promotion of infection with s. enteritidis nub 1 by cps-k depended upon its dose, the effect of cps-k being demonstrable up ...19769528
starvation survival of salmonella enteritidis.washed cells of salmonella enteritidis harvested from a defined medium during logarithmic growth were subjected to starvation in ph 7 phosphate buffer at 37 c. viability was measured by slide cultures and plate counts. the survival of cell suspensions equivalent to 1 to 10 mg (dry wt)/ml was influenced by cryptic growth. the rate of cryptic growth, assessed by plate counts, increased with cell density and could not be alleviated by starvation with dialysis. dialysis of the starving culture did r ...19761369

adjuvant disease induced by mycobacteria, determinants of arthritogenicity.genetic, endocrine and immunological factors are probably involved in adjuvant polyarthritis. the nature of the vehicle and of the mycobacterial components administered also has a major influence. it was originally assumed that arthritogenicity and adjuvanticity of mycobacterial fractions such as wax d were intimately related. our previous findings showed that the water soluble adjuvant (wsa) of m.smegmatis which could substitute for mycobacterial cells in freund's complete adjuvant and induce d ...1976181972
procoagulant activity of activated monocytes.endotoxin-stimulated monocytes develop a very high tissue-factor-like activity as compared to an equivalent number of monocytes in a preparation of monocyte-enriched mononuclear blood cells obtained by ficoll-urovision density gradient centrifugation which is not exposed to endotoxin. in monocytes which were obtained by plastic adherence from the monocyte-enriched mononuclear blood cells, the tissue factor activity was as high as in the endotoxin-stimulated monocytes.1977346452
influence of bacteriological media constituents on the reproduction of salmonella enteritidis bacteriophages.three different salmonella enteritidis phages were isolated and purified from raw sewage by agar-layer technique. the sensitivity of the host organisms toward phages was changed when they were grown on different bacteriological media. the effect of single components of the medium on phage reproduction was determined by the omission of that substance from the medium. cacl2,mgso4, and glycerol each had a pronounced stimulatory effect on the phage reproduction, while bile salts had a profound inhib ...1978350148
immunochemistry of salmonella o-antigens: preparation of an octasaccharide-bovine serum albumin immunogen representative of salmonella serogroup b o-antigen and characterization of the antibody response.the o-antigenic polysaccharide of phenol-water extracted salmonella typhimurium (o antigens 4, 12) lipopolysaccharide was enzymatically cleaved by phage p22 endorhamnosidase. an octasaccharide with the (formula: see text) structure gal-man-rha-gal-man-rha was isolated and shown to retain the o-antigen 4 specificity of the native polysaccharide. after oxidation of the terminal reducing rhamnose residue to the corresponding aldonic acid, the octasaccharide was covalently linked to bovine serum alb ...1978351058
diarrhoeal disorders of bacterial origin in jakarta.during a 21-month period from april 1974 to february 1976, 948 children with gastroenteritis were studied. aetiologic agents were identified in 43% of these patients. isolates were identified as follows: v. cholera el tor, 273 (67%); salmonella enteritidis, 64 (16%); enteropathogenic e. coli, 28 (7%); shigella, 28 (7%); vibrio (nag), 9 (2%): and v. parahaemolyticus, 7,2%). gastroenteritis with dehydration is a serious continuing pediatric problem in jakarta, constituting 30% of admissions to sum ...1977351819

liver glutathione and glutathione reductase response of endotoxin-treated mice.the decrease in the level of liver glutathione (gsh) in endotoxin-treated mice was in part due to formation of glutathione disulfide (gssg). an electron-generating system (egs) had no effect when incubated with soluble liver extracts from normal controls but resulted in recovery of gsh amounting to 25% in endotoxin-treated animals. incubation in the absence of the egs caused a decline of 16% in the gsh in extracts from normal animals compared with a 50% decrease in endotoxin-treated animals. exc ...1975234913

dexamethasone antagonism of glucose dyshomeostasis in endotoxin shock.dexamethasone acetate (100 microgram ip) protected male holtzman rats (300-330 gm) against endotoxin shock due to salmonella enteritidis lipopoly-saccharide b iv. endotoxin (5.0 mg/rat) produced hypoglycemia within 180 minutes, ie, plasma glucose fell from 87 to 24 mg/dl; dexamethasone prevented the hypoglycemia, ie, plasma glucose levels were 129 mg/dl at 180 minutes after endotoxin. dexamethasone antagonized both endotoxin-induced depression of hepatic gluconeogenesis and enhanced glucose oxid ...1978280423
antimicrobial susceptibility of salmonella isolates from the broiler chicken industry in ontario.antibacterial drug resistance among 219 salmonella isolates recovered during 1974 from poultry and poultry environments at the various production stages of broiler chickens in three integrated ontario companies are recorded. all isolates were susceptible to ampicillin, trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole complex, furazolidone, cephaloridine and amoxicillin. a relative increase in resistance to tetracycline and streptomycin with an accompanying decrease in resistance to triple sulfa compound was recor ...1977318909
endotoxin-induced interruption of early pregnancy in the rabbit.endotoxin derived from salmonella enteritidis (boivin) completely interrupted pregnancy in the rabbit when given as a single dose (10 or 20 microgram/kg) intravenously on day 4 or day 8 of pregnancy. indomethacin (2 or 10 mg/kg) was unable to prevent this effect.1978361951
[transferral of salmonella from mother to newborn infant (author's transl)].two newborn infants were infected with salmonella originating from their mothers. after infection of a newborn infant with salmonella typhi from a mother, known for a long time to be a chronic carrier, no pathological findings were observed but the child continued to secrete typhoid bacilli for three years. the infection of the second child with s. panama, from a mother recognized as a carrier post-partum, caused a fulminating diarrhoea accompanied by septicaemia which had a fetal outcome.1977318985

[the isolation of enteritis causing salmonellae from the sputum].in the light of the author's diagnostic experience, attention is drawn to the fact that enteritis salmonellae appear to be more frequently present in sputum than in generally supposed. the diagnostic and epidemiologic implications of this observation are discussed.1977319522
treatment of chronic salmonella carriers. study with 40 cases of s. typhi, 19 cases of s. paratyphi b and 28 cases of s. enteritidis strains.the present stage of our studies suggests that, provided a highly effective combined therapy is, and can be, carried out correctly, all excreters can be cured of their chronic carrier state by chemotherapy within 8-12 weeks. although we cannot recommend a universal therapeutic regimen for all patients, a highly effective 'basic therapy' (rmp+tsp) is available for the majority of the cases, needing occasional modification, depending on the specific requirements of the individual patient as shown ...1977319963
comparison of endotoxin and leukocytic pyrogen pyrogenicity in newborn guinea pigs.guinea pigs under 8 days of age generally are unable to develop fever (viz., deltatre greater than 0.5 degrees c) in response to a standardized dose of endotoxin (2 mug/kg iv of salmonella enteritidis [se]). this study was undertaken to determine whether this lack of responsiveness might be due to an incapacity of leukocytes from young neonates to produce sufficient leukocytic pyrogen (lp). three series of experiments were performed at ta = 27 degrees c: guinea pigs aged 0-2, 4, and 8 days were ...1977320171
involvement of t cells in the recall of salmonella-induced resistance to tumour.immunization of mice with salmonella enteritidis 11rx (11rx) induces resistance to tumour growth in these animals. the degree and duration of resistance is dependent on the routes used for immunization and tumour challenge. when resistance to tumour growth has declined, it can be recalled using various 11rx antigen preparations. in the present study we have shown that the ability to recall resistance to i.p. challenge with 131i-labelled ehrlich ascites tumour cells could be transferred to normal ...1977321336

production of precipitating antibodies in chickens infected with salmonella gallinarum.vaccination of 10 days old chicken with a live relatively avirulent s. gallinarum induced antibodies against the main antigens of the pathogen, namely, its proteins. precipitations in agar gel were obtained against the free proteins and the protein conjugated in the somatic antigen of s. gallinarum and against antigens from the related s. enteritidis. antipolysaccharide antibodies were induced in small quantities which were however sufficient to allow their identification with the agar-gel-diffu ...1977322427
mucosal defenses against salmonella infection in the mouse.specific pathogen-free icr (institute of cancer research) mice were challenged with salmonella orally, aerogenically, or parentally 24 hr after they received sublethal whole-body irradiation. the early growth for the sublethal inoculum was identical in irradiated and control mice. in the irradiated group, salmonella multiplied in the liver and spleen until death of the host. increasing the dose of irradiation reduced the size of the mean lethal dose for the intravenous, intraperitoneal, and aero ...1979374651
protective effect of oral salmonella enteritidis 11rx infection against colon tumor induction by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine in mice.infection of mice with salmonella enteritidis 11rx has been shown previously to cause nonspecific immune stimulation and, consequently, resistance to subsequent challenge with a variety of transplantable tumors. the present study has examined the effect of infection with this organism in a chemical carcinogenesis system. colonic tumors were induced in laca and balb/c x c57bl/6jf1 mice by weekly s.c. injection of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (15 mg/kg) for 28 weeks. infection of mice p.o. with live s. e ...1979376122
