Agglutination with O antisera of salmonella exposed to antibiotics. 1976

V Lorian, and B Atkinson, and W H Ewing

Five strains of Salmonella were grown on agar containing subinhibitory concentrations of ampicillin, gentamicin, tetracycline, or chloramphenicol, and on drug-free agar (control). Antigens were prepared by heating bacteria suspensions in saline solution at 100 C or by suspension in alcohol. Antigens were tested for agglutinability with somatic O antisera and fluorescent antibody staining. The alcohol-treated antigens prepared from organisms grown in the presence of antibiotics other than ampicillin had lower agglutination titers than did the control grown on drug-free agar. Heat-treated control antigens had lower agglutination titers than did the alcohol-treated control antigens. The agglutinability of heat-treated antigens prepared from organisms that had been exposed to antibiotics was preserved or enhanced. The agglutinated filaments produced a flocculent sediment, in contrast to the granular sediment of the controls. No significant morphologic abnormality in cell-wall structures of antibiotic-exposed cells could be detected by either electron microscopy or the fluorescent antibody staining.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007106	Immune Sera	Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen.	Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D002701	Chloramphenicol	An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
