Galleria mellonella as an infection model to investigate virulence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus
Non-toxigenic V. parahaemolyticus isolates (tdh-/trh-/T3SS2-) have recently been isolated from patients with gastroenteritis. In this study we report that the larvae of the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) are susceptible to infection by toxigenic or non-toxigenic clinical isolates of V. parahaemolyticus. In comparison larvae inoculated with environmental isolates of V. parahaemolyticus did not s...
متن کاملThe insect Galleria mellonella as a powerful infection model to investigate bacterial pathogenesis.
The study of bacterial virulence often requires a suitable animal model. Mammalian models of infection are costly and may raise ethical issues. The use of insects as infection models provides a valuable alternative. Compared to other non-vertebrate model hosts such as nematodes, insects have a relatively advanced system of antimicrobial defenses and are thus more likely to produce information r...
متن کاملThe Galleria mellonella larvae as an in vivo model for evaluation of Shigella virulence
Shigella spp. causing bacterial diarrhea and dysentery are human enteroinvasive bacterial pathogens that are orally transmitted through contaminated food and water and cause bacillary dysentery. Although natural Shigella infections are restricted to humans and primates, several smaller animal models are used to analyze individual steps in pathogenesis. No animal model fully duplicates the human...
متن کاملGalleria mellonella as a model host to study virulence of Candida
Candida spp. are among the most important human fungal pathogens, with infections ranging from relatively benign, superficial manifestation to life-threatening deep-seated candidiasis and disseminated disease. Different mouse models have been developed to recapitulate the different forms of candidiasis and murine models are considered to be the gold standard to study pathogenesis and analyze ef...
متن کاملGalleria mellonella as a host model to study Candida glabrata virulence and antifungal efficacy
Candida species are common human fungal pathogens causing a wide range of clinical diseases, ranging from superficial infections to life-threatening systemic disease. Superficial infections include vaginal candidiasis which affects over 75% of women during their lifetime with 5% of women suffering debilitating recurrent infections. Life-threatening systemic Candida disease is the fourth most co...
