A study on the immune response elicited in mice challenged with Staphylococcus epidermidis planktonic - or biofilm - grown cells

Description : In this study a biofilm-forming strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis was used in order to evaluate, in a murine model, the immune response to bacteria grown either as planktonic cells or biofilm. Groups of male BALB/c mice were infected intra-peritoneally (i.p.), with 2×10^8 S. epidermidis cells per...

Protection against systemic candidiasis in mice immunized with secreted aspartic proteinase 2

Description : Secreted aspartic proteinases (Sap) have been described as virulence factors implicated in the mechanisms of host colonization by the yeast Candida albicans in different types of candidiasis. Intraperitoneal inoculation of C. albicans into BALB/c mice rapidly leads to systemic candidiasis, with sign...

Inhibition of IL-10 production by maternal antibodies against group b streptococcus GAPDH confers immunity to offspring by favoring neutrophil recruitment

Description : Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of neonatal pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis. We have previously shown that in adult mice GBS glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is an extracellular virulence factor that induces production of the immunosuppressive...
