Fecal transplantation does not transfer either susceptibility or resistance to food borne listeriosis in C57BL/6 and BALB/c/By mice

چکیده
The composition of the intestinal microbiota has wide reaching effects on the health of an individual, including the development of protective innate immune responses. In this report, a fecal transplantation approach was used to determine whether resistance to food borne listeriosis was dependent on the murine gut microbiota. Transplantation of BALB/c/By feces did not increase the susceptibility of C57BL/6 mice to Listeria monocytogenes infection. Likewise, transplantation of C57BL/6 fecal matter did not enhance the resistance of BALB/c/By mice. Thus, intestinal microbiota composition is not a key factor that confers either susceptibility or resistance to food borne listeriosis in mice.

متن کاملResistance and susceptibility of mice to bacterial infection: course of listeriosis in resistant or susceptible mice.
Resistance and susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes in mice was found to be related to (i) the innate ability of the nonimmune macrophages to kill or inhibit the growth of the organism during the first 24 to 48 h after infection, and (ii) the time of onset of acquired cell-mediated resistance. Resistant C57Bl/6 mice were 10 times more efficient than susceptible BALB/c mice at suppressing th...
متن کاملComparative studies on the induction of transplantation resistance in BALB-c and C57BL-6 mice in three murine leukemia systems.
Syngeneic X-irradiated Friend, Moloney, and Rauscher (FAIR) lymphomas readily induce transplantation resistance in C57BL/6 mice. Similar resistance is more difficult to induce in BALB/c mice. To determine whether this difference in response is due to a lesser immunogenicity of FMR cells of BALB/c ori gin, C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with viable or X-irradiated BALB/c FMR cells, or with X-irrad...
متن کاملOral transmission of Listeria monocytogenes in mice via ingestion of contaminated food.
L. monocytogenes are facultative intracellular bacterial pathogens that cause food borne infections in humans. Very little is known about the gastrointestinal phase of listeriosis due to the lack of a small animal model that closely mimics human disease. This paper describes a novel mouse model for oral transmission of L. monocytogenes. Using this model, mice fed L. monocytogenes-contaminated b...

In Leishmania (L.) major-infected BALB/c mice Th2-type cells results in disease progression, whereas C57BL/6-infected mice mount a Th1-type response, which leads to control of the infection. Th2 response correlates with IgG1 whereas, Th1 response supports switching to IgG2a subclasses. Since IgG isotype-dominated response depends on different CD4 + T cell subsets, we studied the antigenic profi...
