Growth and metabolism of live vaccine strain of Pasteurella tularensis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth and metabolism of the live vaccine strain of Pasteurella tularensis in different media were investigated. Maximal growth was observed in a medium containing a sulfuric acid digest of casein as amino acid source. Amino acid metabolism produced considerable ammonia, and the rate of ammonia evolution was directly proportional to the growth rate. The most likely route for amino acid breakdown is nonspecific oxidative deamination.

Effect of vaccine, route, and schedule on antibody response of rabbits to Pasteurella tularensis.
The response of the rabbit to viable or killed whole-cell Pasteurella tularensis vaccines was studied. The most practical preparation for the production of anti-P. tularensis antibodies was viable organisms of the live vaccine strain (LVS). The intravenous route of administration proved superior to either the subcutaneous or intradermal routes, and incorporation of LVS into Freund's adjuvants d...
متن کاملPathogenicity and immunogenicity of native and mutant strains of Pasteurella multocida, the causative agents of haemorrhagic septicaemia
Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is a fatal systemic disease of cattle and buffaloes. Some control isachieved with administration of alum-precipitated or oil-adjuvanted killed whole-cell vaccines injectedsubcutaneously. These vaccines, however, provide only short-term immunity and for effective use, theyshould be administered annually. We constructed an aroA attenuated derivative of a Pasteurella ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Live Tularemia Vaccine Prepared in a Chemically Defined Medium.
A chemically defined medium was prepared which adequately supported growth of a vaccine strain of Pasteurella tularensis. This medium differed from those previously described in: (i) concentration of components, (ii) a requirement for calcium pantothenate to obtain increased growth, and (iii) a low initial pH. Varying the concentration of individual components up to 10 times the standard amount...

The aerosol survival in air was determined for Pasteurella tularensis live vaccine strain (LVS) as a function of relative humidity (RH). Three different preparations of bacteria were used: (i) liquid suspension of P. tularensis LVS in spent culture medium; (ii) powders of P. tularensis LVS freeze-dried in spent culture fluid; (iii) P. tularensis LVS freeze-dried in spent culture fluid and then ...
