Discussion: Causative Agent
Since stock cultures of organisms that have been passaged many times in the laboratory may undergo changes in their pathogenicity, concern was expressed as to whether antimicrobial sensitivity tests performed in vitro accurately reflect the clinical responses one might expect in treating patients. Dr. Feeley believed that various strains of the Lyme disease spirochete are stable in vitro, but c...
متن کاملDiscussion: Vector and Causative Agent
What is the simplest formulation of Kelly's medium for primary isolation of the Lyme disease spirochete? It has been suggested that one may use brain heart infusion broth rather than tissue culture medium and that many researchers have had success deleting some ingredients. One must be cautious, however, with substitutions and deletions. Modifications that support growth of laboratory-adapted s...
متن کاملEctromelia virus: the causative agent of mousepox.
Ectromelia virus (ECTV) is an orthopoxvirus whose natural host is the mouse; it is related closely to Variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, and Monkeypox virus, the cause of an emerging zoonosis. The recent sequencing of its genome, along with an effective animal model, makes ECTV an attractive model for the study of poxvirus pathogenesis, antiviral and vaccine testing and viral immun...
متن کاملThe molecular detection of the causative agent of plague on the basis of the pla gene
Yersinia pestis, a gram-negative rod belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family, is the causative agent of plague. Classical methods of detecting the organisms are time-consuming, expensive and dangerous. The aim of the study was to design a Real-time PCR assay on the basis of the pla gene of Yersinia pestis. In this research the Real- time PCR test was optimized by using special primers for ta...
