Mechanisms of phagocytosis of Mycobacterium leprae and other mycobacteria by human oligodendroglial cells.
The mechanisms by which human oligodendroglial cells, KG-1-C cells, phagocytose mycobacteria, especially Mycobacterium leprae, were studied. The ability of glial cells to phagocytose M. leprae was inhibited by azide, dinitrophenol (inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation), and iodoacetamide but not fluoride (both are inhibitors of glycolysis). Thus, the energy metabolism dependency is somewhat ...
متن کاملDetection of Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria Infection due to Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium kansasii in Patients Suspected of Tuberculosis in Isfahan, Iran
Several reports have indicated that infection with Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide.Therefore,monitoring species causing micobacterial infection in any region is of great importance. This study was going to detect, differentiate, and identify pathogenic mycobacteria in primary clinical samples. Eighty samples collected from tuberculosis suspected patients in Isfahan/I...
متن کاملLipid Droplets and Mycobacterium leprae Infection
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease and is a major source of morbidity in developing countries. Leprosy is caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, which infects as primary target Schwann cells. Lepromatous leprosy exhibits multiple lesions of the skin, eyes, nerves, and lymph nodes. The sites of infection are characterized by the presence of foamy macrophages, f...
متن کاملA cooperative taxonomic study of mycobacteria isolated from armadillos infected with Mycobacterium leprae.
Seventeen strains of mycobacteria, recovered from six armadillos experimentally infected with Mycobacterium leprae, were examined in ten different laboratories. This collaborative study included use of conventional bacteriological tests, lipid analyses, determination of mycobactins and peptidoglycans, characterization by Py-MS, and immunological, metabolic, pathological and DNA studies. These a...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
