Ultrastructural evidences of direct endotoxin action on the heart. 1987

E A Bardakhchian, and E I Palchikova

In experiments on 13 rabbits, the authors performed heart perfusion according to Langendorf with endotoxin (9 experiments) or with Ringer's solution (4 experiments), and subsequently analysed the myocardial ultrastructure. They found that 30-minute endotoxin perfusion produces contracture changes, intracellular myocytolysis and desquamation of endothelial cells with destruction of the capillary basal membrane. The findings attested to myocardial dysfunction caused by direct endotoxin action on the heart.

D004731 Endotoxins Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells. Endotoxin
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
