متن کاملVaccination with FimA from Streptococcus parasanguis protects rats from endocarditis caused by other viridans streptococci.
The FimA protein of Streptococcus parasanguis is a virulence factor in the rat model of endocarditis, and immunization with FimA protects rats against homologous bacterial challenge. Because FimA-like proteins are widespread among the oral streptococci, the leading cause of native valve endocarditis, we evaluated the ability of this vaccinogen to protect rats when challenged by other streptococ...
متن کاملPurification and immunochemical studies of type b carbohydrate antigen of oral Streptococcus milleri.
The type-specific antigen of serotype b Streptococcus milleri was extracted with trichloroacetic acid from a purified cell wall preparation of the strain NCTC 10708 and then purified on a DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column, followed by a Sephadex G-100 column. The antigen was composed of rhamnose and glucose in a molar ratio of 1.7:1.0, with a trace of galactosamine (0.1). The quantitative precipitin in...
متن کاملAn immunofluorescent method for detecting antibodies against viridans streptococci in Streptococcus viridans endocarditis.
Serum was collected one to three months after the onset of symptoms from eight endocarditis cases and from another endocarditis case about three weeks after the onset of symptoms (case 8 in Table). Endocarditis was proven in each case clinically and by numerous sets of blood -cultures that yielded growth of viridans streptococci. Three positive standard reference sera, obtained from patients wi...
متن کاملPhysiological differentiation of viridans streptococci.
Twelve hundred and twenty-seven clinical isolates and eighty stock strains of viridans streptococci were tested for serological and physiological characteristics. Because the serological reactions of these strains varied, a differentiation scheme could not be based on these reactions. For the same reason, there could be no correlation of serological characteristics with physiological characteri...
