Inapparent respiratory infection of inbred Swiss mice with sulfadiazine-resistant, iodine-negative Chlamydiae.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three chlamydial strains were isolated from the lungs of three different strains of mice that were inbred for over 30 years. These chlamydial strains were resistant to sulfadiazine and did not induce iodine-positive, glycogen-like material in the inclusions of infected L cells which characterizes them as Chlamydia psittaci.

Efficacy of atovaquone and sulfadiazine in the treatment of mice infected with Toxoplasma gondii strains isolated in Brazil.
The efficacy of atovaquone and sulfadiazine was examined alone or in combination for the treatment of mice infected with six Brazilian Toxoplasma gondii strains previously genotyped using the PCR-RFLP assays of the SAG2 gene, in addition to RH strain. Swiss mice were infected intraperitoneally with 10(2) tachyzoites from each strain of T. gondii and treated with 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/Kg/day ...

Passive immunization with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for the major capsular polysaccharide of Cryptococcus neoformans alters the course of murine cryptococcosis. During studies of passive immunization for treatment of murine cryptococcosis, we noted the occurrence of an acute, lethal toxicity. Toxicity was characterized by scratching, lethargy, respiratory distress, collapse, and dea...
متن کاملGenetic Control of Resistance to Street Rabies Virus
It is well known that not all animals manifesting clinical signs of street rabies virus (SRV) 1 infection die. These observations have been made in natural (1-4) and experimental infections (5-12). In one study, it was shown that 16% of outbred Swiss Webster mice inoculated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with SRV survived after developing signs of illness and that recovery was associated with high le...
متن کاملWhat's in a word: the use, misuse, and abuse of the word “persistence” in Chlamydia biology
The word persistence was used by Chlamydia researchers almost as soon as Chlamydia research was born to reflect the propensity of chlamydiae to cause inapparent infection in their hosts, from birds to humans. More recently, the term persistence has been used, misused, and sometimes abused amidst in vitro and in vivo studies that aim to mimick the ability of chlamydiae to emerge from the presume...
