To better understand the biology of H. ducreyi, we developed a human inoculation model. In the present article, we describe clinical outcomes for 267 volunteers who were infected with H. ducreyi. There was a relationship between papule formation and estimated delivered dose. The outcome (either pustule formation or resolution) of infected sites for a given subject was not independent; the most important determinants of pustule formation were sex and host effects. When 41 subjects were infected a second time, their outcomes segregated toward their initial outcome, confirming the host effect. Subjects with pustules developed local ...

Haemophilus ducreyi previously has been shown to inhibit the phagocytosis of both secondary targets and itself by certain cells in vitro. Wild-type H. ducreyi strain 35000HP contains two genes, lspA1 and lspA2, whose encoded protein products are predicted to be 456 and 543 kDa, respectively. An isogenic mutant of H. ducreyi 35000HP with inactivated lspA1 and lspA2 genes has been shown to exhibit substantially decreased virulence in the temperature-dependent rabbit model for chancroid. This lspA1 lspA2 mutant was tested for its ability to inhibit phagocytosis of immunoglobulin G-opsonized particles by differentiated HL-60 and U-937 cells and by J774A.1 cells. The wild-type strain H. ducreyi 35000HP readily inhibited phagocytosis, whereas the lspA1 lspA2 mutant was unable to inhibit phagocytosis. Similarly, the wild-type strain was resistant to phagocytosis, whereas the lspA1 lspA2 mutant was readily engulfed by phagocytes. This inhibitory effect of wild-type H. ducreyi on phagocytic activity was ...

Haemophilus ducreyi is a fastidious gram-negative coccobacillus bacteria, which causes the sexually transmitted disease chancroid, a major cause of genital ulceration in developing countries characterized by painful sores on the genitalia. Chancroid starts as an erythematous papular lesion that breaks down into a painful bleeding ulcer with a necrotic base and ragged edge. H. ducreyi can be cultured on chocolate agar. It is best treated with a macrolide like azithromycin and a third-generation cephalosporin like ceftriaxone. H. ducreyi gram stain appears as school of fish. H. ducreyi is an opportunistic microorganism that infects its host by way of breaks in the skin or epidermis. Inflammation then takes place as the area of infection is inundated with lymphocytes, macrophages, and granulocytes. This pyrogenic inflammation causes regional lymphadenitis in the sexually transmitted bacillus chancroid. Although antigen detection, serology, and genetic amplification methods are sometimes used to ...

A monoclonal antibody raised against Haemophilus ducreyi was tested for its sensitivity and specificity as an immunofluorescence (IF) reagent using simulated vaginal smears containing H. ducreyi, smears taken from skin lesions of mice infected with H. ducreyi and patients from South Africa, Thailand and Malaysia with clinically diagnosed chancroid. The IF test was more sensitive than culture or Gram staining in the simulated smears, theoretically detecting less than 4 organisms/sample. It detected H. ducreyi in 95% of the animal lesions compared with 14% detected by culture. Immunofluorescence testing identified over 90% of culture-positive cases of chancroid but also detected organisms in some culture-negative cases where clinical evidence for the diagnosis was strong. These results suggest that this antibody may provide a simple, rapid and sensitive means of detecting H. ducreyi in cases of chancroid.

Immunodepletion of LspA proteins from H. ducreyi culture supernatant fluid abolished this inhibitory effect, indicating that the LspA proteins are necessary for the inhibition of phagocytosis by H. ducreyi. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that macrophages incubated with wild-type H. ducreyi, but not with a lspA1 lspA2 mutant, were unable to complete development of the phagocytic cup around immunoglobulin G-opsonized targets.

N2 - Haemophilus ducreyi causes chancroid, a genital ulcer disease that facilitates the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. In humans, H. ducreyi is surrounded by phagocytes and must adapt to a hostile environment to survive. To sense and respond to environmental cues, bacteria frequently use two-component signal transduction (2CST) systems. The only obvious 2CST system in H. ducreyi is CpxRA; CpxR is a response regulator, and CpxA is a sensor kinase. Previous studies by Hansen and coworkers showed that CpxR directly represses the expression of dsrA, the lspB-lspA2 operon, and the flp operon, which are required for virulence in humans. They further showed ...

D. Radolf and E. J. Hansen, Infect. Immun. 63:2976-2982, 1995). This transposon was found to have inserted into the first of two tandem genes and also caused a deletion of chromosomal DNA upstream of this gene. These two genes, designated lbgA and lbgB, encoded predicted proteins with molecular masses of 25,788 and 40,236 Da which showed homology with proteins which function in lipopolysaccharide biosynthetic in other gram-negative bacteria. The tandem arrangement of the lbgA and lbgB genes was found ...

Haemophilus ducreyi ATCC ® 700724D-5™ Designation: Genomic DNA from Haemophilus ducreyi 35000HP TypeStrain=False Application:

Pyocin lysis has previously been used as a strategy to identify LOS mutants of H. ducreyi and N. gonorrhoeae(8, 14). Although the actual mechanism of lysis is poorly understood, a recent report by Lee et al. suggests that these particles contain nucleic acid (27). In this study, we used pyocin to select for LOS mutants of H. ducreyi strain 35000. One such mutant, HD35000R, produced a LOS molecule that lacked the MAb 3F11 epitope and migrated with an increased mobility on SDS-PAGE. Complementation of this mutant with a plasmid library containingH. ducreyi 35000 chromosomal DNA resulted in the identification of a clone expressing wild-type LOS. Western blot analysis confirmed that this transformant, HD35000R(pLS88.8), expressed the LOS epitope reactive with MAb 3F11. The sequence analysis of the complementing plasmid revealed a 3.2-kb DNA insert containing four complete ORFs. The putative protein product of ORF1 shared similarity (37%) with the E. coli WaaQ, the heptosyltransferase responsible for ...

To investigate if temperature affects the interaction of Haemophilus ducreyi with human epithelial cells, nine strains were used to evaluate the adhesion kinetics of the organism at 33°C and 37°C. The effect of the free toxin on the epithelial cells at those temperatures was also assessed. The cyto-adherence kinetics of H. ducreyi to the epithelial cells was significantly greater at 33°C (10 times more) than at 37°C in all seven clinical isolates tested. There was a significant difference in cell-associated H. ducreyi at 33°C as compared with 37°C. Control strains showed similar adhesion properties at both temperatures. However, the virulent strain CIP542 adhered in larger amounts than the avirulent strain A77. Electron microscopy revealed that there was more tissue necrosis at the lower than the higher temperature. The effect of the free toxin was the same at each temperature. However, strain A77 had significantly lower toxicity than strain CIP542 and the clinical isolates. These results suggest

Summary Routine procedures used to isolate Haemophilus ducreyi in a busy laboratory are reported. Identification was based on colony morphology and nutritional and biochemical properties of 120 fresh isolates of H. ducreyi. These isolates grew very well on Gonococcal Agar and Mueller-Hinton Agar incubated at 34°C in candle extinction jars containing moistened filter paper. Colonies varied in size, giving a polymorphic appearance. They were smooth, dome-shaped, and buff-yellow to grey in colour, and measured 2 mm in diameter. They could be pushed intact across the agar surface. By microscopic examination of gram-stained smears the isolates were gram-negative coccobacilli arranged in short chains, clumps or whorls and occasionally in typical

The surest way to avoid transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including syphilis, is to abstain from sexual contact or to be in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected.. Avoiding alcohol and drug use may also help prevent transmission of syphilis because these activities may lead to risky sexual behavior. It is important that sex partners talk to each other about their HIV status and history of other STDs so that preventive action can be taken.. Genital ulcer diseases, like syphilis, can occur in both male and female genital areas that are covered or protected by a latex condom, as well as in areas that are not covered. Correct and consistent use of latex condoms can reduce the risk of syphilis, as well as genital herpes and chancroid, only when the infected area or site of potential exposure is protected.. Condoms lubricated with spermicides (especially Nonoxynol-9 or N-9) are no more effective than other lubricated ...

Lectin s initial product, NutraLec , is a clinically tested functional nutraceutical containing a lectin which neutralizes Helicobacter pylori, the pathogen residing in the stomach which is principally responsible for gastritis, ulcer disease, and stomach cancer. A more potent form of this product, PhytoCAM Ulcer, is being developed as a prescription drug. Much of Lectin s focus is on the development of products for other gastrointestinal diseases and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs): NutraLec II, also a functional nutraceutical containing lectins, would neutralize pathogens responsible for soldier diarrhea, thereby providing warfighters with improved gastrointestinal health while in the field; PhytoCAM HIV, PhytoCAM VM (vaginal microbicides), and PhytoCAM Condom utilize single or multiple lectins targeted at HIV/AIDS, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. The company has also identified lectins for protection against genital herpes, syphilis, and chancroid. A particular benefit of the

The review of studies performed in Bobo-Dioulasso over the past decade suggested a substantial change in STI ecology and epidemiology. In women, the prevalence of ulcerative STI such as chancroid and syphilis have become extremely rare in low and high risk groups. The prevalence of NG and, to a lesser extent, that of TV and CT followed a similar decline. Furthermore, the role of CT and NG in the aetiology of VDS and urethral discharge in men also markedly declined, suggesting a global and sharp decrease of CT and NG load in the community.. Beside these classic STIs, the prevalence of other genital infections, such as BV and CA, tended also to decline in the general population but not among CSW.. Similarly, HIV prevalence and probably HIV incidence curved down in both high risk groups and the general population over the same period of observation.. There is no doubt that the interpretation of these ecological trends has a few limitations. Firstly, the studies selected for this work were not ...

Ben Goldacre, The Guardian, Saturday 23 October 2010. This month it was revealed that US academics funded by NIH deliberately infected mentally incapacitated patients, prison inmates, sex workers, and soldiers from Guatemala with syphilis, gonorrhea, and chancroid during the 1940s.There has been outrage, and rightly so. Since the 1940s, regulations on consent have been tightened up.. But its interesting to look at who participates in medical trials today, and whether we would regard them as giving fully informed consent, without coercion.. Recruiting patients into clinical trials is generally difficult, and often a majority of those who are eligible decide not to participate. This is, in some respects, a systemic problem, as we have been very poor at embedding the idea of routinely resolving uncertainties about which treatments are best into the everyday practice of medicine.. My point is not that these studies are dangerous, because they are not. But in the US, where many are still unable to ...

Objectives. The proposed project is a randomised placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multicentric therapeutic trial evaluating the association of antiherpetic treatment to the syndromic treatment for the management genital ulcers in Africa, and its impact on the genital shedding of HIV and of Herpes simplex hominis type 2 (HSV-2) virus.. Background. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that infection with HSV-2 is highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, and that HSV-2 seropositivity is a marker of high-risk sexual behaviour. HSV-2 infection is increasingly being recognised as one of the commonest causes of genital ulceration in many African countries. HSV-2 infection may act as a major cofactor for HIV transmission, a fact that has long been underestimated. First, genital ulcers (caused by HSV-2) are by themselves cofactors of HIV transmission, either by increasing infectiousness of dually infected individuals (HSV+/HIV+), or by increasing susceptibility of the seronegative partner. Second, ...

This study focuses on the biodynamic responses of a seated human model to whole-body vibrations in a vehicle. Five-degree-of-freedom nonlinear equations of motion for a human model were derived, and human parameters such as spring constants and damping coefficients were extracted using a three-step optimization processes that applied the experimental data to the mathematical human model. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the linearized model were also calculated. In order to examine the effects of the human parameters, parametric studies involving initial segment angles and stiffness values were performed. Interestingly, mode veering was observed between the fourth and fifth human modes when combining two different spring stiffness values. Finally, through the frequency responses of the human model, nonlinear characteristics such as frequency shift and jump phenomena were clearly observed.

Week 1 started fairly slowly, which gave me a chance to read up on several papers about research already carried on PcaK and the AAHS family. I began by culturing E. Coli which had been transformed with a plasmid containing the PcaK gene of the extremophile Haemophilus ducreyi, and then induced these via addition of arabinose (to turn on T7 RNA polymerase expression) and IPTG (to turn on protein expression). Unfortunately, the cells started to die on induction of protein expression - a possible explanation for this being that the protein is toxic to E. coli growth. This may lead to a low final concentration once purified, as its possible that the cells that survived were those that were not expressing the protein! I proceeded to harvest the cells via centrifugation and then resuspend the pellets in PBS buffer and TCEP (reduces disulphide bonds). Next I got to use a cell disrupter to lyse the cells and, after an inital centrifugation to remove debris and unlysed cells, I pelleted the membranes ...
