Mannose-contaminating agglutinin for Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii.
Rapid agglutination of Actinomyces viscosus and Actinomyces naeslundii cells by D-mannose solutions was observed during studies of their attachment to mammalian cells in vitro. The specificity of the agglutination reaction was studied by slide agglutination tests and by measuring the rate of decrease in optical density of bacterial phosphate buffer suspensions caused by the setting of bacterial...
متن کاملSurface fibrils (fimbriae) of Actinomyces viscosus T14V.
Surface antigens of Actinomyces viscosus T14V were released from cell walls by digestion with lysozyme. These were separated by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography into fractions rich in carbohydrate or protein. The former contained a polysaccharide high in 6-deoxytalose, along with a peptide fragment from the cell wall. In the protein-rich fractions, material of high molecular weigh...
متن کاملCell-associated levan of Actinomyces viscosus.
Actinomyces viscosus ATCC 15987 was examined for the presence of cell-associated levan by absorption of myeloma proteins with antilevan activity and direct immunofluorescence. Levan was not detectable on the surface of glucose-grown A. viscosus, but after a brief incubation of these cells with 5% sucrose, they were encapsulated with tenaciously adhering levan. The levan layer constituted betwee...
متن کاملIdentification of Actinomyces viscosus from canine infections.
Actinomyces viscosus is a gram-positive, non-acid-fact, facultative, catalase-positive, filamentous, or diphtheroidal microorganism. It was isolated from six canine infections during a period of 1.5 years. The organism was cultured from exudate and flaky granules aspirated from infectious granulomas and empyemas. All cultures grew well aerobically and anaerobically with the addition of 10% carb...
متن کاملCell-mediated immune response to products of Actinomyces viscosus cultures.
Hartley strain guinea pigs were sensitized with 0.5 ml of concentrated cell-free Actinomyces viscosus culture supernatant fluids mixed with Freund complete adjuvant. Fourteen to 16 days later the animals were challenged by intradermal injection with 0.1 ml of the culture supernatant, and the reactions were observed at 4, 8, 16, 24, and 48 h. Peritoneal exudate cells from sensitized animals were...
