Antileptospiral activity in lower-vertebrate sera.
Normal serum from the painted turtle (Chrysemys picta), the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), and the frog (Rana pipiens) were found to possess bactericidal activity towards Leptospira. Leptospires from both the parasitic and biflexa complexes were killed by these sera at high dilutions. This pattern differs from that of mammalian serum, as generally only the biflexa complex leptospires ar...

Schwab, G. E. (University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia), and P. R. Reeves. Comparison of the bactericidal activity of different vertebrate sera. J. Bacteriol. 91:106-112. 1966.-The bactericidal activity for gram-negative bacteria of normal sera from eight species of vertebrates was investigated to compare complement-mediated killing in sera from animals representing various classes of...
متن کاملAntileptospiral activity of serum. II. Leptospiral virulence factor.
A definite relationship exists between the resistance of leptospires to the antibody-complement system and virulence. Leptospires capable of producing either lethal or renal infections in hamsters or guinea pigs were resistant to the leptospiricidal action of antibody and complement. Avirulent leptospires, in contrast to the virulent organisms, were rapidly immobilized and killed by these serum...

Johnson, Russell C. (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis), and Louis H. Muschel. Antileptospiral activity of serum. I. Normal and immune serum. J. Bacteriol. 91:1403-1409. 1966.-Normal serum was found to exert a leptospiricidal effect, mediated by the complement system, against the nonpathogenic leptospires. Although resistant to normal serum, the pathogenic serotypes were susceptible to antis...
متن کاملBacteriolytic activity of selected vertebrate sera for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Borrelia bissettii.
An in vitro assay to evaluate the bacteriolytic activity of the complement pathway was applied to 2 strains of Borrelia bissettii, CO501 and DN127, and compared with that of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto B31. Sera from mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and the Western Fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis) were completely borreliacidal for B. burgdorferi and for both strains of B. bissettii. Serum...
