Detection of antibodies against Salmonella typhi outer membrane protein (OMP) preparation in typhoid fever patients.
An indirect ELISA was used to detect antibodies against outer membrane protein preparations (OMPs) from Salmonella typhi. Sera from patients with a definitive diagnosis of typhoid fever (TF) gave a mean absorbance reading, at 414 nm, of 1.52 +/- 0.23 as compared to 0.30 +/- 0.11 for sera from healthy individuals. This gave a positive to negative ratio of absorbance readings of approximately 5.1...
متن کاملCharacterization of antigens from nontypable Haemophilus influenzae recognized by human bactericidal antibodies. Role of Haemophilus outer membrane proteins.
Major outer membrane antigens, proteins, and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), from nontypable Haemophilus influenzae were characterized and examined as targets for complement-dependent human bactericidal antibodies. Outer membranes from two nontypable H. influenzae isolates that caused otitis media and pneumonia (middle ear and transtracheal aspirates) were prepared by shearing organisms in EDTA. Th...
متن کاملPhosphorylcholine Allows for Evasion of Bactericidal Antibody by Haemophilus influenzae
The human pathogen Haemophilus influenzae has the ability to quickly adapt to different host environments through phase variation of multiple structures on its lipooligosaccharide (LPS), including phosphorylcholine (ChoP). During colonization with H. influenzae, there is a selection for ChoP+ phase variants. In a murine model of nasopharyngeal colonization, this selection is lost in the absence...
متن کاملNon typable-Haemophilus influenzae biofilm formation and acute otitis media
BACKGROUND Non-typable Haemophilus influenzae (NT-Hi) infection is frequently associated with acute otitis media (AOM) treatment failure, recurrence or chronic otitis media. Persistence of otopathogens in a biofilm-structured community was implicated in these situations. Here, we compared biofilm production by H. influenzae strains obtained by culture of middle ear fluid (MEF) from children wit...
متن کاملOuter membrane protein and biotype analysis of non-serotypable strains of Haemophilus influenzae.
Strains of Haemophilus influenzae (n = 161) were isolated from inpatients with symptoms of pulmonary infection. Conventional tests showed that 144 strains were non-serotypable and all belonged to one of eight biotypes. The common biotypes were 2 (41%), 3 (27.1%), 1 (13.2%) and 5 (10.4%). The outer membrane protein (OMP) profiles of 59 non-serotypable strains were examined by sodium dodecyl sulp...
