Gnotobiotic Mice
Cholera vibrios grow readily in the intestines of gnotobiotic mice and change their antigenic structure in response to immunological pressures. These changes were progressive, with the rough form persisting as the apparent end point in the mice. Inoculation of the rough form into fresh gnotobiotic mice resulted in the recovery of smooth forms. An untypable rough strain of Vibrio cholerae isolat...
متن کاملStrain variation in the adaptation of C57Bl6 and BALBc mice to chronic hypobaric hypoxia
The interplay of environmental and genetic factors may lead to a spectrum of physiological and behavioral outcomes. How environmental stress factors interact with the diverse mouse genomes is still poorly understood and elucidating the underlying interactions requires specific stress models that can target integrated physiological systems. Here, we employ behavioral tests and whole-body plethys...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولClostridium difficile in gnotobiotic mice.
Germfree mice associated with Clostridium difficile developed intestinal disease characterized by polymorphonuclear cell infiltration of the lamina propria, diarrhea, and cecal cytotoxin concentrations positive at a 10(-6) dilution. The numbers of viable bacteria never exceeded 10(10) colony-forming units per g (dry weight). Despite the high toxin levels and chronic inflammation over a 30-day p...
متن کاملPrevention of Helicobacter pylori infection by lactobacilli in a gnotobiotic murine model.
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium which causes gastric inflammatory diseases. Oral inoculation of H pylori usually results in only a temporary colonisation without a successful infection in the stomach of conventional mice in which lactobacilli are the predominant indigenous bacteria. AIM To determine whether lactobacilli exert an inhibitory effect on colonisation by H pylori in t...
