Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: microbiology, biochemical properties, pathogenesis and molecular studies of virulence.
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the etiological agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), a common disease in small ruminant populations throughout the world. Once established, this disease is difficult to eradicate because drug therapy is not effective and because the clinical detection of infected animals is of limited efficiency. We reviewed the microbiological, biochemical and taxonomic f...
متن کاملCorynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: biochemical properties, production of toxin and virulence of ovine and caprine strains.
Twenty-two strains of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis, were isolated from typical abscesses in sheep and goats from flocks in 6 different regions of France and were characterized. These strains were uniform in biochemical characteristics, susceptibility to 8 antimicrobial agents, and virulence for OF1 mice. All these strains produced an exotoxin,...

متن کاملStudies on the enhancement of immunity to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.
CAMERON, C. M. & FULS, W. J . P., 1973. Studies on the enhancement of immunity to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. Onderstepoort J. vet. Res. 40 (3), 105-114 (1973). Experiments were undertaken to enhance the immune response of mice, guinea pigs and sheep to C. pseudotuberculosis vaccine. The antibody response of guinea pigs was not increased either by the simultaneous administration of form...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Opp Peptide Transporter of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and Its Role in Virulence and Pathogenicity
Despite the economic importance of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA), a chronic disease caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, few genes related to the virulence of its etiologic agent have been characterized. The oligopeptide permease (Opp) transporters are located in the plasma membrane and have functions generally related to the uptake of peptides from the extracellular environment. These p...
