Temperature optimum of Mycobacterium leprae in mice.
Shepard, Charles C. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.). Temperature optimum of Mycobacterium leprae in mice. J. Bacteriol. 90:1271-1275. 1965.-Mycobacterium leprae multiplied most rapidly in foot pads of mice kept at an air temperature of 20 C. At air temperatures of 15 and 25 C, bacillary multiplication was slightly slower; at 10 and 30 C, distinctly slower; and at 4 and 35 C, no baci...

This assumption has ignored the fact that patients with highly bacilliferous leprosy have nasal as well as dermal infection and that, since M. leprae is shed predominantly from the nose, leprosy might be an airborne infectio...
متن کاملBactericidal action of dapsone against Mycobacterium leprae in mice.
Dapsone (4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone), incorporated into the mouse chow in a concentration of 0.1 g/100 g of diet, was administered for 1 week to mice in which Mycobacterium leprae had multiplied to the level of 10(6) organisms/footpad. M. leprae were harvested from these and also from control mice, diluted serially, and inoculated into additional mice. The organisms recovered from untreated mi...
متن کاملActivity of ofloxacin and pefloxacin against Mycobacterium leprae in mice.
The fluorinated quinolones are potent antibacterial compounds active against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria (1, 3-5, 11-13). Some are also active against mycobacteria in general (3, 9, 10, 13) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in particular (1; unpublished observations). In view of the limited number of drugs active against Mycobacterium leprae, it was of interest to test some of th...
