Experimental intestinal coliform infections in mice

Coliform Bacteria in the Intestine of Mice

Mice of the NCS and NCS-D colonies, bred at the Rockefeller University, harbored in their intestine an endemic strain of slow lactose-fermenting Escherichia coli 081+/-: :H21 serotype. In addition, NCS mice have recently acquired E. coli 0109+/-:K48:H14. Both strains persisted during the period of observation, whereas they were not encountered in the feces of mice from two other colonies. Other...

Mice Ameliorates Experimental Colitis in Intestinal Nematode Infection

Intestinal nematode infection ameliorates experimental colitis in mice.

Epidemiological studies suggest that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is common in developed countries and rare in countries where intestinal nematode infections are common. T cells are critical in many immune responses, including those associated with IBD and nematode infection. Among the distinct T helper (Th) cell subsets, Th1-type immune response is predominantly associated with Crohn's dis...

Guide to antibiotic therapy of experimental bacterial infections in mice.

The 50 per cent effective or curative dose (ED50 or CD50) of a new chemotherapeutic agent against bacterial infections in mice is generally used to determine the efficacy of this agent as compared to that of established antibiotics. Although many of the ED50 values of these antibiotics are found in publications, a comprehensive summary of these data is not available. This communication is desig...
