The effect of Galleria mellonella hemolymph polypeptides on Legionella gormanii.
Among Legionella species, which are recognized to be pathogenic for humans, L. gormanii is the second prevalent causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia after L. pneumophila. Anti-L. gormanii activity of Galleria mellonella hemolymph extract and apolipophorin III (apoLp-III) was examined. The extract and apoLp-III at the concentration 0.025 mg/ml caused 75% and 10% decrease of the bacter...
متن کاملAnti-Listeria activities of Galleria mellonella hemolymph proteins.
We report the use of antimicrobial hemolymph proteins from the model host Galleria mellonella as an inhibitor for various Listeria strains, providing a novel source for antilisterial therapeutics. We also have shown that specific virulence-associated genes known to mediate antimicrobial resistance of Listeria in mammalian models indicated a similar function in Galleria.
متن کاملSome effects of x-irradiation on larvae of Galleria mellonella.
During the summer of 1965, the fungus Spicaria rileyi was frequently associated with dead Pseudoplusia includens larvae on various crops in southeastern Alabama. Since this insect, sometimes referred to as the false looper, has become of increasing economic importance in Alabama (Canerday, J. Econ. Entomol., in press, 1966), the pathogenicity and potential control value of S. rileyi for P. k&de...
متن کاملA Madurella mycetomatis Grain Model in Galleria mellonella Larvae
Eumycetoma is a chronic granulomatous subcutaneous infectious disease, endemic in tropical and subtropical regions and most commonly caused by the fungus Madurella mycetomatis. Interestingly, although grain formation is key in mycetoma, its formation process and its susceptibility towards antifungal agents are not well understood. This is because grain formation cannot be induced in vitro; a ma...
متن کاملDevelopment of Quantitative Proteomics Using iTRAQ Based on the Immunological Response of Galleria mellonella Larvae Challenged with Fusarium oxysporum Microconidia
Galleria mellonella has emerged as a potential invertebrate model for scrutinizing innate immunity. Larvae are easy to handle in host-pathogen assays. We undertook proteomics research in order to understand immune response in a heterologous host when challenged with microconidia of Fusarium oxysporum. The aim of this study was to investigate hemolymph proteins that were differentially expressed...
