Chlamydiae in Gastrointestinal Disease
Disorders of gut function are among the most prevalent problems presented to physicians practicing in gastroenterology as well as primary care physicians and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder. There is no biomarker of IBS. Instead, the diagnosis is based on symptom criteria and the absence of an organic cause for symptoms (Longstreth et al., ...
متن کاملInfectivity of Ribonucleic Acid from Poliovirus in Human Cell Monolayers
Ribonucleic acid prepared by the method of Gierer and Schramm from concentrated and partially purified types I and II polioviruses has been demonstrated to be infectious for HeLa and human amnion cells in monolayers. In areas of cytopathogenic action resulting from invasion of cells by RNA, intact poliovirus, of the type from which the RNA had been prepared, is present. The infectivity of the R...
متن کاملEnhancement of enterovirus infectivity in vitro by pretreating host cell monolayers with the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine.
Laboratory strains of enteroviruses, as well as viruses isolated from raw wastewater, were found to exhibit enhanced infectivity in vitro when BGM cell monolayers were pretreated with the cationic polymer polyethyleneimine (PEI). Viruses were assayed by the cytopathic effect technique and as PFU under methylcellulose and agar overlays with monolayers treated with 0 to 5.0 x 10(-3)% (wt/vol) PEI...
متن کاملThe many faces of chlamydiae.
The application of modern research tools has broadened our understanding of the chlamydiae and their role in disease. Chlamydial genome analysis showed the presence of genes for ATP and peptidoglycan synthesis, contradicting the common belief that chlamydiae lack the ability to produce these compounds. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggests that chlamydiae could have evolved from an intracellular ...
متن کاملPersistent Chlamydiae and chronic arthritis
Urogenital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis can lead to development of an acute inflammatory arthritis, and this acute disease becomes chronic in some individuals. Research indicates that the organism is present in synovial tissue of patients with chronic disease in a persistent, rather than an actively growing, form. Importantly, metabolic and other characteristics of persistent Chlamydia ...
