Disease relevance of Erysipelothrix

• The attenuated Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae YS-19 strain was constructed for the purpose of delivering the C-terminal portion of the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae P97 adhesin to the mucosal surface of the respiratory tract of pigs [1].
• Fourteen strains of lactic acid bacteria and species of Brochothrix, Carnobacterium, Enterococcus, Erysipelothrix, Kurthia and Listeria were examined using low molecular mass RNA (5S rRNA and tRNA) profiles [2].
• Ginseng extract in aluminium hydroxide adjuvanted vaccines improves the antibody response of pigs to porcine parvovirus and Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae [3].
• Isoprenoid quinone composition as a guide to the classification of Listeria, Brochothrix, Erysipelothrix and Caryophanon [4].
• This is the first report to demonstrate the presence of tet(M) in naturally occurring isolates of tetracycline-resistant Erysipelothrix rbusiopathiae, which causes swine erysipelas [5].

High impact information on Erysipelothrix

• Adhesive surface proteins of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae bind to polystyrene, fibronectin, and type I and IV collagens [6].
• Primary isolation of Erysipelothrix spp. was most efficiently achieved with brain heart infusion broth enrichment followed by subculture onto a selective brain heart infusion agar containing kanamycin, neomycin, and vancomycin after 48 h of incubation [7].
• The production of protective antigen in modified serum-free nutrient broth (H. Feist, K.-D. Flossmann, and W. Erler, Arch. Exp. Veterinaermed. 30:49-57, 1976) and in brain heart infusion broth supplemented with 10% horse serum (BHIS) was evaluated for six strains of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae serotypes 1a, 2, 2b, 4, and N [8].
• Recent research shows that a bacterial life form, Erysipelothrix insidiosa, can produce rheumatoid arthritis in deer, swine, and dogs, and that a number of animals, including man, birds, and fish, may be infected by the organism [9].
• Details of the isolation of E. rhusiopathiae and the application of molecular testing to identify Erysipelothrix DNA in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections are given [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Erysipelothrix

• Mice and swine inoculated subcutaneously with culture filtrate vaccine prepared from acriflavine-fast attenuated Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae strain Koganei 65-0.15 (serovar 2), were challenge exposed to 20 pathogenic strains of E rhusiopathiae of 18 serovars and type N [11].
• Effect of cyclophosphamide and carrageenan on resistance of mice to Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae [12].
• Culture filtrate and alkaline-extracted antigens from whole cells of an attenuated strain of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (strain Koganei: serovar 1a) were fractionated with ammonium sulfate; both induced protective immunity in mice [13].
• Identification of the tetracycline resistance gene, tet(M), in Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae [5].
• Electron microscopic studies on altered forms of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae obtained under the effect of novobiocin [14].

Biological context of Erysipelothrix

• Nucleotide sequence analysis and heterologous expression of the Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae dnaJ gene [15].

Gene context of Erysipelothrix

• The chelating agents oxine, acetylacetone, tropolone, and 2-mercaptopyridine 1-oxide were analysed for their suitability in labeling the bacterium Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae (E.r.), strain B10, with 111In and 67Ga [16].
• Histoautoradiographic studies of 3H-thymidine labelled Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae introduced into albino mice [17].
• Infective endocarditis caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus [18].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Erysipelothrix

• Use of the protective antigen of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and latex agglutination [19].
• The proteins of 12 Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae strains were radiolabelled with L-[35S] methionine, and the protein fractions were detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and autoradiography [20].
