Resistance of congenitally immunodeficient gnotobiotic mice to vaginal candidiasis.
Congenitally immunodeficient beige, athymic, and beige athymic mice whose orogastric mucosal tissues were chronically colonized and infected with a pure culture of Candida albicans were found to be resistant to naturally occurring vulvovaginal candidiasis.
متن کاملMucosal and systemic candidiasis in IL-8Rh-/- BALB/c mice.
Germ-free BALB/c mice, genetically engineered to be deficient for interleukin-8 (IL-8) receptor homolog (IL-8Rh-/-), were more susceptible to gastric candidiasis after oral challenge and to acute systemic candidiasis after intravenous challenge than IL-8Rh+/+ controls. In comparison to IL-8Rh+/+ mice, the IL-8Rh-/- mice had slower influx of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) into Candida albic...
متن کاملBiotherapeutic effects of Bifidobacterium spp. on orogastric and systemic candidiasis in immunodeficient mice.
Two commercially available Bifidobacterium spp. (Bifidobacterium infantis and Bifidobacterium lactis) were compared for their capacities to protect immunodeficient bg/bg-nu/nuand bg/bg-nu/+mice from orogastric and lethal candidiasis. Both Bifidobacterium spp. prolonged the survival of Candida albicans-colonized adult and neonatal bg/bg-nu/numice. The bifidobacteria affected the production of an...
متن کاملVariable biotherapeutic effects of Lactobacillus acidophilus isolates on orogastric and systemic candidiasis in immunodeficient mice.
Two commercially available isolates of Lactobacillus acidophilus (NCFM and LA-1) were compared for their capacities to protect immunodeficient bg/bg-nu/un and bg/bg-nu/+ mice from candidiasis. L. acidophilus NCFM prolonged survival of adult and neonatal bg/bg-nu/nu mice, inhibited disseminated candidiasis in both mouse strains, suppressed weight loss associated with Candida albicans infection i...
متن کاملPathogenesis of Cryptococcus neoformans in congenitally immunodeficient beige athymic mice.
Mortality after intravenous challenge with 10(4) Cryptococcus neoformans demonstrated that doubly immunodeficient beige athymic (bg/bg nu/nu) mice were more susceptible to systemic cryptococcosis than either bg/bg or nu/nu mice. Infected bg/bg nu/nu mice also had a shortened lifespan compared with their bg/bg nu/+ littermates. Beige athymic (bg/bg nu/nu) but not bg/bg nu/+mice developed cryptoc...
