Sulfonamide resistance in Neisseria meningitidis strains liberating various amounts of free endotoxin

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases
O Solberg, B M Andersen

Abstract

The relationship between sulfonamide susceptibility and the ability to liberate endotoxin was studied in 50 strains of Neisseria meningitidis. The endotoxin activity was investigated by the Limulus lysate test in growing cultures of 25 sulfonamide-resistant and 25 sensitive strains. The sulfonamide-resistant strains tended to have a higher endotoxin activity in cultures grown for 6 h than sensitive ones, and had also a higher amount of free, filtrable endotoxin.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
