Rat model of experimental endocarditis.
A simple model of infective endocarditis was produced in rats. With the aid of a guide wire, polyethylene catheters were passed into the left ventricle through the right carotid artery of Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 300 to 350 g. A volume of 1 ml of an overnight culture of Streptococcus mitis, Staphylococcus aureus, or Streptococcus faecalis was intravenously injected 1 to 2 days after cathete...
متن کاملThe role of fibronectin binding in the rat model of experimental endocarditis caused by Streptococcus sanguis.
Inactivation of fibronectin (Fn) binding by insertional mutagenesis of Streptococcus sanguis with Tn916 reduces virulence of this bacterium in the rat model of infective endocarditis (IE). Transconjugants were screened for Fn adherence using an ELISA adherence test. One transconjugant had a decreased adherence to immobilized Fn. Southern hybridization demonstrated that the insertion occurred on...
متن کاملImaging Experimental Infective Endocarditis
The capability of radionuclide imaging to detect experimental aortic valve infective endocarditis was assessed with indium-111 ("'In)-labeled blood cells. Sequential cardiac imaging and tissue distribution studies were obtained in 17 rabbits with infective endocarditis after administration of "..In-platelets and in five after "'In-polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Forty-eight to 72 hours after plat...
متن کاملMicroglial Activation in Rat Experimental Spinal Cord Injury Model
Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the secondary microglial activation processes after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: A quantitative histological study was performed to determine ED-1 positive cells, glial cell density, and cavitation size in untreated SCI rats at days 1, 2, and 4, and weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4. Results: The results of glial cell quantification along the 4900...
متن کاملChemotherapy of Experimental Streptococcal Endocarditis
A B S T R A C T The ability of antibiotics to prevent Streptococcus sangutis endocarditis was tested in rabbits. Only vancomycin or a combination of penicillin G plus streptomycin always prevented infection when administered as a single dose. A loading dose of 30 mg/kg of phenoxymethyl penicillin (penicillin V) followed by additional 7.5 mg/kg doses for 48 h proved to be the only successful pro...
