Acanthamoeba castellanii : growth on human cell layers reactivates attenuated properties after prolonged axenic culture
The free-living, but potentially pathogenic, bacteriovorous amoebae of the genus Acanthamoeba can be easily grown axenically in a laboratory culture. This, however, often leads to considerable losses in virulence, and encystment capacity, and to changes in drug susceptibility. We evaluated potential options for a reactivation of a number of physiological properties, attenuated by prolonged axen...
متن کاملInfection in a rat model reactivates attenuated virulence after long-term axenic culture of Acanthamoeba spp
Prolonged culturing of many microorganisms leads to the loss of virulence and a reduction of their infective capacity. However, little is known about the changes in the pathogenic strains of Acanthamoeba after long culture periods. Our study evaluated the effect of prolonged culturing on the invasiveness of different isolates of Acanthamoeba in an in vivo rat model. ATCC strains of Acanthamoeba...
متن کاملGrowth of Pneumocystis Carinii in Axenic Culture
SUMMARY In this research, which was done for two years, we investigated various liquid and solid media without feeder ceells, for the ability to support growth of P. carinii. Data obtained from counting the organisms nuclei showed that, addition of Cycloheximide, penicillin, & streptomycin to neopeptoneN-Acetyle Glucoseamine (N.P.G. medium) can provides growth requirements of organism in its...
متن کاملDictyostelium discoideum during Growth in Axenic Culture
1. The specific activities of fl-N-acetylglucosaminidase, acid phosphatase, ac-mannosidase, P-glucosidase, UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase and alkaline phosphatase have been determined in myxamoebae of the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum Ax-2 grown on different media and in different phases of the growth cycle. 2. Variations in enzymic composition occur with changes in growth medium...
متن کاملThe Effect of Prolonged Culture of Chromosomally Abnormal Human Embryos on The Rate of Diploid Cells
Background A decrease in aneuploidy rate following a prolonged co-culture of human blastocysts has been reported. As co-culture is not routinely used in assisted reproductive technology, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the prolonged single culture on the rate of diploid cells in human embryos with aneuploidies. MaterialsAndMethods In this cohort study, we used fluorescence in ...
