Intestinal Strangulation in Escherichia coli-Monocontaminated Gnotobiotic Rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The natural course of ischemic and hemorrhagic intestinal strangulation in previously germ-free rats individually monocontaminated with one of five separate strains of Escherichia coli was investigated. In addition, the effect of intraintestinal homologous heparinized blood upon the course of ischemic intestinal strangulation in E. coli-monocontaminated rats was studied. It was found that (i) E. coli could be an important lethal factor in ischemic and hemorrhagic intestinal strangulation, (ii) hemorrhagic was more deadly than ischemic strangulation, (iii) intra-intestinal blood did not augment the action of the E. coli in these experiments, and (iv) some strains of E. coli were more toxic than others in the presence of intestinal strangulation.

Establishment of specific pathogen-free (SPF) rat colonies using gnotobiotic techniques.
Gnotobiotic Wistar rats were produced using gnotobiotic techniques, which were established in the production of a SPF mouse colony, in order to establish a barrier-sustained colony. One strain of Escherichia coli, 28 strains of Bacteriodaceae (B-strains), three strains of Lactobacillus (L-strains) and a chloroform-treated fecal suspension (CHF, Clostridium mixture) were prepared from convention...
متن کاملFat absorption from the small intestine of gnotobiotic chicks.
The small intestine of 3-week-old gnotobiotic chicks was divided into five equal segments for analysis. Since it has been found that most fat absorption occurs in the third and fourth segments, they were selected for study. The major fatty acids in the diet and the feces of chicks were palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids. Consequently, these fatty acids were selected for quantitative a...
متن کاملColonisation and Translocation of Bacteria in the Intestinal Tract; General Aspects and Studies in a Gnotobiotic Rat Model
Bacterial attachment to surfaces or association to other bacterial species is an important subject for understanding the complex bacterial communities that populate the intestinal tract. Disruption of these ecologically stable communities can lead to harmful effects for the host, i.e. permitting the access of opportunistic or newly arrived pathogens to sterile areas of the body producing diseas...
متن کاملColonization resistance against genetically modified Escherichia coli K12 (W3110) strains is abrogated following broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment and acute ileitis.
Escherichia coli K12 (EcK12) is commonly used for gene technology purposes and regarded as a security strain due to its inability to adhere to epithelial cells. The conventional intestinal microbiota composition is critical for physiological colonization resistance against most bacterial species including pathogens. We were therefore interested whether intestinal colonization by a genetically m...
متن کاملPathogenicity of an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli hemolysin (hlyA) mutant in gnotobiotic piglets.
Pigs infected with hemolytic F4(+) strains of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli often develop septicemia secondary to intestinal infection. We tested the hypothesis that inactivation of hemolysin would reduce the ability of F4(+) enterotoxigenic E. coli to cause septicemia in swine following oral inoculation. Inactivation of the hemolysin structural gene (hlyA) did not decrease the incidence of ...
