In vitro responses of guinea pig peritoneal macrophages to Legionella pneumophila.
Transmission and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the phagocytosis of virulent and avirulent strains of Legionella pneumophila. The interaction between L. pneumophila and peritoneal macrophages from normal guinea pigs or from animals that had survived infection was studied. The virulent strains survived and proliferated within the phagocyte after ingestion by either type of macro...
متن کاملCytotoxicity of extracellular Legionella pneumophila.
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaire's disease and Pontiac fever, is known to produce a cytopathic effect on macrophages. The capacity of extracellular L. pneumophila to mediate toxicity for guinea pig peritoneal macrophages and J774 mouse macrophages was assessed. Extracellular organisms were found to be capable of mediating toxicity; however, toxic activity appeared to r...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of the ketolide HMR 3647 (RU 6647) for Legionella spp., its pharmacokinetics in guinea pigs, and use of the drug to treat guinea pigs with Legionella pneumophila pneumonia.
The activities of HMR 3647, HMR 3004, erythromycin, clarithromycin, and levofloxacin for 97 Legionella spp. isolates were determined by microbroth dilution susceptibility testing. Growth inhibition of two Legionella pneumophila strains grown in guinea pig alveolar macrophages was also determined. The concentrations required to inhibit 50% of strains tested were 0.06, 0.02, 0.25, 0.03, and 0.02 ...
متن کاملIn Vitro and in Vivo Antibacterial Activity of Four Newly Developed Quinolone Agents against Legionella Infection
We investigated the antibacterial activity of four newly developed quinolone agents, temafloxacin (TMFX, TA-167), sparfloxacin (SPFX , AT -4140) , OPC -17116 and Y 26611 against Legionella was investigated both in vitro and in vivo and compared them with those of other quinolone agents and with erythromycin. In vitro strength of the antibacterial activity was found to be in the order of stronge...
متن کاملInfluence of growth temperature on virulence of Legionella pneumophila.
The effect of growth temperature on the virulence of a strain of broth-grown serogroup 1 Legionella pneumophila (Wadsworth F889) was examined by growing the bacterium at different temperatures and then infecting guinea pigs (by intratracheal injection) and guinea pig alveolar macrophages. The 50% lethal dose for guinea pigs infected with 25 degrees C-grown F889 was log10 5.0 CFU and that for 41...
