An experimental murine infection was established by the intraperitoneal injection of a log-phase culture of a laboratory reference strain of Streptococcus agalactiae, Lancefield group B, type III (strain SS620), suspended in sterile hog gastric mucin. The enhancement of streptococcal virulence was measured by a significantly increased mortality in outbred ICR Swiss mice. An inbred C57BL6 strain of mice was resistant to the mucin-bacterial combination. Mucin, treated with Desferal to chelate the iron, did not lose the capacity to enhance the virulence of group B, type III streptococci in ICR Swiss mice. Iron-dextran was not a suitable substitute for mucin and failed to enhance the virulence of group B, type III streptococci. The results of these studies indicate that iron is not the resistance-lowering factor in this group B, type III streptococci-mucin model.
通过腹腔注射悬浮于无菌猪胃粘蛋白中的B群链球菌III型实验室参考菌株(菌株SS620)的对数期培养物,建立了实验性小鼠感染模型。通过远交系ICR瑞士小鼠死亡率显著增加来衡量链球菌毒力的增强。近交系C57BL6小鼠品系对粘蛋白 - 细菌组合具有抗性。用去铁胺处理以螯合铁的粘蛋白,并未丧失增强ICR瑞士小鼠中B群III型链球菌毒力的能力。右旋糖酐铁不是粘蛋白的合适替代品,不能增强B群III型链球菌的毒力。这些研究结果表明,在该B群III型链球菌 - 粘蛋白模型中,铁不是降低抗性的因素。
