Cultivation and Viability Determination of Mycobacterium leprae
Mycobacterium leprae, despite being recognized as a human pathogen over 140 years ago, remains uncultivable in microbiological culture media or in cell culture systems. Although it is now well established that M. leprae prefers cooler temperatures, slightly acidic microaerophilic conditions, and lipids rather than sugars as an energy source, the exact parameters for a defined axenic medium that...
متن کاملThe mouse foot-pad technique for cultivation of Mycobacterium leprae.
Although multiplication of Mycobacterium leprae in the foot pads of immune-competent mice is limited, and no leprosy-like lesions are produced in these animals, the mouse foot-pad system represents the first truly useful and reproducible animal model of M. leprae infection. Its employment has enabled research into basic questions with respect to the microbiology of M. leprae, and the epidemiolo...
متن کاملWater Soluble Palmitic Acid in Media for Cultivation of Leprosy Derived Psychrophilic Mycobacteria from Mycobacterium Leprae Infected Tissues
A unique marker of Mycobacterium (M) leprae is that it cannot derive energy, use carbon sources, or substrates for biosynthetic purposes, whereas other mycobacteria utilize these for multiplication. This is just one reason why M. leprae, although provided with a complete Krebs cycle, a functional electron transport chain and cytochrome system, as well as measurable endogenous respiration, does ...
متن کاملYolk Sac Cultivation of Tumors
Some months ago there was published from this laboratory a brief preliminary report of a method whereby tumors could be cultivated in the yolk sacs of developing chick embryos (4). Neoplasms were first injected into the yolk sac with the idea that the tumor cells would die and disintegrate, thus releasing any virus that might be present. It was hoped that if such a release occurred the medium p...
متن کاملBlood media for the cultivation of mycobacterium tuberculosis.
In recent studies (Tarshis, 1952, 1953) it was found that a modified human blood medium was more satisfactory for the cultivation of tubercle bacilli than several other blood media previously described (Tarshis and Frisch, 1951; Frisch and Tarshis, 1951). Since comparison of this medium under routine diagnostic condition was somewhat limited, a more thorough evaluation was felt desirable. In th...
