Placental Syncytiotrophoblast Constitutes a Major Barrier to Vertical Transmission of Listeria monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes is an important cause of maternal-fetal infections and serves as a model organism to study these important but poorly understood events. L. monocytogenes can infect non-phagocytic cells by two means: direct invasion and cell-to-cell spread. The relative contribution of each method to placental infection is controversial, as is the anatomical site of invasion. Here, we rep...
متن کاملListeria Monocytogenes : A Major Public Health Concern
Listeria monocytogenes (commonly called Listeria) named for Joseph Lister. Listeria monocytogenes, is the bacterium that causes the infection listeriosis. It is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, capable of graving and reproducing inside the host’s cells, and is one of the most virulent food-borne pathogens of clinical infections resulting in death. Listeriosis is the leading cause of death amo...
متن کاملTh1 cytokines are essential for placental immunity to Listeria monocytogenes.
The fetal allograft poses an immunological challenge: how is it protected while immunity to pathogens, particularly those that replicate in the placenta, is maintained? Several theories have been proposed to explain this fetal protection, including a pregnancy-based bias towards a Th2 rather than Th1 cytokine profile in order to avoid generating cytotoxic T cells that could threaten the fetus. ...

Hagerstown, MD 72 hours after the onset of symptoms, and then transported to the Network Laboratory of Chinese National Influenza Surveillance in Wuxi CDC. Seven viruses were detected with real time PCR methods. All Hadvpositive nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens were inoculated into Hep-2 cells and were observed daily until an evident cytopathic effect was observed. Partial hexon genes were amp...
متن کاملDETERMINATION OF DOMINANT SEROVARS OF LISTERIA MONOCYTOGENES
Serovars of Lisreria l1Iollocyrogelles were determined. Sera of aborted samples (200) were collected from different hospitals in Tehran and were tested serologically by immunofluorescent antibody methods (IF tests). 137 positive sera were identified. Positive sera were tested against 12 serovars of Listeria l1Iollocytogelles separately. Titers of antibody in patients' sera for all serovars ...
