Inducible Lysis inClostridium tetani

Journal of Bacteriology, 1967
Lysis was induced in seven strains ofClostridium tetaniby exposure to mitomycin C. The search for a suitable indicator strain to detect bacteriophage in lysates has, so far, been unsuccessful. Inhibition studies on macromolecular synthesis during induction have shown that deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid, and protein syntheses are all involved ...

Proteome Mining for the Identification of Putative Drug Targets For Human Pathogen Clostridium Tetani

Current Bioinformatics, 2019
Clostridium tetani are rod-like, anaerobic types of pathogenic bacteria of the genus Clostridium. It is Gram-positive in nature and appears as a tennis racket or drumsticks on staining with the dye.

Autism and clostridium tetani

Medical Hypotheses, 1998
Autism is a severe developmental disability believed to have multiple etiologies. This paper outlines the possibility of a subacute, chronic tetanus infection of the intestinal tract as the underlying cause for symptoms of autism observed in some individuals. A significant percentage of individuals with autism have a history of extensive antibiotic use.

Growth of Clostridium tetani in vivo

1975
Under favourable conditions tetanus spores may germinate and multiply in vivo soon after their introduction into the tissues. Dorothy Russel [3] found that vegetation was visible microscopically on the second day in necrotic foci produced in guinea-pigs by the injection of earth. In lesions produced by 5% calcium chloride solution considerable vegation

Tetanus neurotoxin (Clostridium tetani)

1997
Abstract Tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT) is the cause of the spastic paralysis of tetanus (van Heyningen 1968; Montecucco and Schiavo 1995). It is produced as a single polypeptide chain of 150 kDa (1315 amino acid residues, sequence accession number to the Swiss Prot data bank: P04958ITETX_CLOTE). As shown in Fig.

Serologic Types of Clostridium Tetani

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1928
Based on the specificity of the agglutination reaction numerous microbic species have been differentiated into various types or groups. While the clinical picture of the disease caused by the different types of a given bacterial species may be the same, or very similar, this differentiation of the causative organism into types has been of inestimable ...

Isolation of clostridium tetani from anaerobic empyema

Pathology, 1998
We report the isolation of Clostridium tetani (along with Fusobacterium mortiferum) from empyema pus. The patient, a 68 year old retired farmer from rural NSW, had recently undergone cholecystectomy, had heart failure and developed an empyema. He improved after drainage of the empyema and penicillin therapy, but died suddenly during convalescence.

Select Anaerobic Bacteria: Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum

2012
The focus of this chapter is 2 types of gram-negative aerobic bacteria, Clostridium tetani and Clostridium botulinum, and the diseases they cause. Tetanus is a nervous system disorder characterized by intense, painful muscle spasm caused by Clostridium tetani.
