Product Description
Infections with Chlamydia pneumoniae have beenassociated with chronic inflammatory diseases, butthe influences of multiple factors are not wellunderstood. A multivariate experimental designinvestigated the major factors that influencedisease, chlamydial lung burden, and transcriptlevels: i) host genetics, ii) pre-challenge immunity, iii) time after challenge infection, iv) dietary protein content, v) dietary antioxidant content. The combined effects of mouse strain, immune status, and time after challenge inoculation resulted in opposite outcomes for lung disease and elimination of C. pneumoniae, while dietary protein and antioxidant content had little overall influence. A simple best-fit partial least square regression model using day-3 Tim3, GATA3, and arginase 2 transcript concentrations predicted 85% of the day-10 disease and 72% of the day-10 C. pneumoniae lung load. This book has elucidated general mechanisms of chlamydial pathogenesis, and clearly supports the concept that host-dependent levels of early Th1 and Th2 responses, and their balance, significantly correlated withlate disease and pathogen load of C. pneumoniae lunginfections. ...

Description:
The main aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of infection with the intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, and subsequent treatments with oral doxycycline or azithromycin on the frequency of micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of adult female patients receiving standard doses of these drugs. The frequency of micronuclei was measured in the lymphocytes of 38 newly diagnosed adult women with genital C. trachomatis infection. Samples were taken before and after the therapy, and from 50 healthy control females. The therapy was taken orally during 10 days at 2x100mg per day, and then for another 10 days at 1x100mg per day for doxycycline, and as a single dose of 1g for azithromycin. Isolated lymphocytes from all subjects were cultured by use of the whole-blood method and blocked in metaphase with cytochalasin B (Cyt B). One thousand binucleate cells per subject were scored according to published criteria. The frequency of micronuclei was not significantly higher in samples of infected females before therapy, compared with the baseline frequency in healthy control females (p>0.05). In patients who received doxycycline, the micronucleus frequency after the end of therapy was significantly higher than before treatment (p<0.001). The mean frequency of micronuclei in females after the end of the therapy with azithromycin did not show an increase (p>0.05). The application of linear regression analysis showed that the difference in micronucleus frequency before and after therapy (effect of the antibiotics) was affected by the therapy type. Age and smoking did not affect micronucleus frequency in analyzed samples of patients (p=0.078, 0.579). We conclude that C. trachomatis infection does not induce micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes of infected adult female patients. Therapy with doxycycline significantly increases the micronucleus frequency in lymphocytes of treated patients, but treatment with azithromycin does not induce micronuclei. ... Read more

Product Description
Chlamydia infections have been reported world widewith serious sequelae with sparse reports indeveloping countries. In Nigeria samples werecollected from suspected cases and sometimes inhealthy individuals in the six main geo-politicalzones of Nigeria. Sample collection was also done inthe two main seasons of Nigeria. Samples includedsputum, trhoat swab, endocervical swabs and urethralswabs. These samples were preserved according to thesite of collection and analysed using specific andappropirate microbiological methods which includedcomplement fixation test, immunochromatographic spottest, Romanowsky-Giemsa staining, culture.Characterization was done by chromosomal DNAisolation, plasmid DNA isolation, Polymerase ChainReaction and Southern blot hybridization. There wasa high prevalence of Chlamydia infection in all thegeo-political zones from different infections. Mostgeo-political zones gave no variation except in somecases with Chlamydia pneumonia both geographicallyand seasonally. New suspected strains of Chlamydiawere also identified from the pattern of cut by theenzyme endonucleases used to cut the DNAs. ... Read more
