Chlamydial colonization of multiple mucosae following infection by any mucosal route.
Chlamydia trachomatis inoculated by any mucosal route colonized multiple murine mucosae and, in most cases, the spleen, liver, and kidneys. Cell-to-cell transmission, systemic dissemination, and autoinoculation of infectious fluids may have contributed to chlamydial spread. Intermucosal trafficking of protective T cells cannot be accurately evaluated by using live chlamydial challenges.
متن کاملModulation of immune responses following antigen administration by mucosal route.
Most microbial infections are either restricted to the mucosal membranes or the etiologic agents needed to transit the mucosa. Thus, it is desirable to stimulate a mucosal response following vaccination, to block both infection and disease development. Attenuated vaccine carriers mimic natural infections, triggering also mucosal responses. Similar results can be achieved by administering antige...
متن کاملMucosal immune responses following intestinal nematode infection
In most natural environments, the large majority of mammals harbour parasitic helminths that often live as adults within the intestine for prolonged periods (1-2 years). Although these organisms have been eradicated to a large extent within westernized human populations, those living within rural areas of developing countries continue to suffer from high infection rates. Indeed, recent estimate...
متن کاملDetection of chlamydial infection in Iranian turkey flocks
Background: Avian chlamydiosis is a zoonotic disease ofbirds caused by the intracellular bacterium Chlamydia psittaci. Avianchlamydiosis leads to severe respiratory disease in young turkeys and eggproduction losses in layers. OBJECTIVES: Due to paucity of information about theprevalence of chlamydial infection in the turkey population in Iran, this studywas conducted to detect chlamydial infect...
متن کاملChlamydial infection increases gonococcal colonization in a novel murine coinfection model.
Genital tract infections caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis serovars D to K occur at high incidence in many areas of the world. Despite high rates of coinfection with these pathogens, investigations of host-parasite interactions have focused on each pathogen individually. We describe here a coinfection model in which female BALB/c mice were first infected with the mouse C...
