Zusammenfassung 10 Friesen‐Kälber und 10 Jersey‐Kälber, 40 bis 80 Tage alt, wurden 30 Tage normal gefüttert und beobaditet. Mykologisch zeigten sie keine Zeichen von Infektion. 6 Friesen‐Kälber und 5 Jersey‐Kälber wurden sodann an verschiedenen Stellen skarifiziert und mit 2 cm großen Kulturstückchen von Trichophyton equinum var. autotrophicum beimpft. Die übrigen 4 Friesen‐Kälber und 5 Jersey‐Kälber wurden nicht infiziert, blieben aber im selben Stall in Kontakt mit den infizierten. Weitere 3 Kälber in einem anderen Stall dienten als Kontrolle. Die Infektion gelang; die Pilze wurden auch auf die Kontakttiere übertragen, während die Kontrolltiere gesund blieben. Damit ist bewiesen, daß Trichophyton equinum von Pferden auf Kälber übertragen werden kann, wenn sie direkten oder indirekten Kontakt miteinander haben. Das Auftreten der Krankheitserscheinungen beginnt schon nach einer Woche.
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a post-infection sequela of Campylobacter jejuni-induced enteritis. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and associated genes (CRISPR-Cas) confers adaptive immunity and plays role in virulence in many bacteria. We investigated C. jejuni CRISPR type (CT) to explore association of CRISPR-Cas with risk of developing GBS. We analysed CRISPR-Cas in C. jejuni isolated from 30 patients with GBS, 60 patients with enteritis and 52 healthy controls from Bangladesh. CRISPR types were determined by PCR followed by CRISPR array sequencing. Statistical and genomic analyses were performed using SPSS and multiple web-based software respectively. We found preserved CRISPR array was significantly more frequent in GBS-related strains than healthy control-related strains (P = 0.02, OR = 2.95). Increased CRISPR array length was significantly associated with GBS compared to healthy control- (P = 0.003, AUC = 0.7) and enteritis-related strains (P = 0.02, AUC = 0.65). We reported 38 new CT found among 70 CRISPR-preserving strains. CT of GBS-related strains were unique from enteritis- and healthy control-related strains. Eighty spacers, including 20 novel spacers, were identified among the CRISPR-preserving strains. CRISPR typing had more discriminatory power than PCR-based subtyping in enteritis- and healthy control-related strains. Further genomic analyses are warranted to elucidate role of the C. jejuni CRISPR array in GBS pathogenesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
