Cellular fatty acid composition of WIGA, a rickettsia-like agent similar to the Legionnaires disease bacterium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cellular fatty acid composition of OLDA, a rickettsia-like agent isolated in 1947, was essentially identical to that of the Legionnaires disease bacterium (LDB). WIGA, another rickettsia-like agent isolated in 1959, contained the same fatty acids as OLDA and other LDB but differed significantly from these strains in relative amounts of the major acids present. The major acid of OLDA and other LDB was i-16:0 whereas a-15:0 was the major acid of WIGA.

Cellular fatty acid composition of isolates from Legionnaires disease.
The cellular fatty acids of four isolates from Legionnaires disease and two antigenically related isolates were identified by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and associated techniques. The six isolates had essentially the same fatty acid composition, which was characterized by large amounts (greater than 80%) of branched-chain acids.
متن کاملThe Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Serum Apelin Levels in Cardiovascular Disease: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have both anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory effects through inducing the expression and production of adipokines. Adipokines such as apelin, have been observed to play a protective role in the incidence and progression of CVD. The aim of this study was to assess the ...
متن کاملA comparison of some biologic characteristics of isolates of the Legionnaires' disease bacterium.
The ability of three isolates of serogroup 1 and one isolate of serogroup 4 of Legionnaires' disease bacterium (LDB) to infect and cause fever and death in guinea pigs was studied, as well as their ability to produce plaques in cultured primary chick embryo cells. The serogroup 4 isolate originally was recovered from cord clot and placental tissue from a healthy mother following delivery of a n...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Fatty Acid Composition of Yolk Lipids in Indigenous and Conventional Chicken Eggs
Eggs of the indigenous laying hens are preferred by consumers to those obtained from commercial breeds. The present study aimed to compare the fatty acid (FA) composition of yolk lipids of indigenous eggs (Indigenous; n = 20) and conventional eggs (Conventional; n = 20). Indigenous and conventional eggs were collected from Lori layer hens reared under free-range condition and an commercial farm...
