The serodiagnosis of infection with Salmonella typhi.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The serodiagnosis of infection with Salmonella typhi, using the Widal agglutination assay, relies on patients' antibodies to the O = 9,12 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigens, H = d flagellar antigens, and the Vi capsular antigens. A Vi agglutination titre of > 1/40 has traditionally been regarded as indicative of recent infection with S typhi. In this study, 91 sera were used to a...
متن کاملA Mouse Model of Salmonella Typhi Infection
Salmonella spp. are gram-negative flagellated bacteria that can cause food- and waterborne gastroenteritis and typhoid fever in humans. We now report that flagellin from Salmonella spp. is recognized in mouse intestine by Toll-like receptor 11 (TLR11). Absence of TLR11 renders mice more susceptible to infection by S. Typhimurium, with increased dissemination of the bacteria and enhanced lethali...
متن کاملLaboratory Infection with a Lactose-fermenting Strain of Salmonella Typhi.
Unusual epidemiological and bacteriological aspects prompted this report of a case of typhoid fever acquired in a research laboratory through inadequate labeling of a culture of Salmonella typhi and misunderstanding of the pathogenic capacity of the organism. The patient, a glassware-washer in the laboratory, experienced a classical case of typhoid fever with chills, fever, bacteremia, rose spo...
متن کاملSerodiagnosis of typhoid fever by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay determination of anti-Salmonella typhi lipopolysaccharide antibodies.
Serum samples from 22 patients with proven typhoid fever, 60 febrile nontyphoidal patients, and 120 healthy subjects were tested for immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgG, and IgM anti-Salmonella typhi lipopolysaccharide antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The levels of all three classes of immunoglobulin anti-lipopolysaccharide were higher in typhoid patients than in controls; the test f...
متن کاملInnate resistance of mice to Salmonella typhi infection.
The basis for the natural resistance of mice to Salmonella typhi was examined. In contrast to Salmonella typhimurium, the virulence of S. typhi for mice was independent of the mouse strain and was not affected by inactivation of murine macrophages with silica. However, mice were more susceptible to S. typhi when given iron alone or iron and an iron chelator. The results suggest that the failure...
