The effect of recombinant murine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on the growth of Listeria monocytogenes for 4 h and Mycobacterium microti for up to 3 days in monolayers of peritoneal macrophages from BALB/c mice was examined by serial viable counts of cell-associated bacteria. Macrophages pretreated
Identification of the antigenic changes in mycobacteria-infected macrophage may be important in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the intracellular survival of the bacteria. In the present study, Mycobacterium microti-infected macrophages were utilized to investigate the possibility of
The activities of some commonly used antituberculosis drugs were investigated within unstimulated peritoneal macrophages and in 7H-9 medium without Tween 80 using Mycobacterium microti OV254 as the target organism. In macrophage cultures, serial concentrations of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide,
There are no effective vaccines against Babesia and Theileria parasites; therefore, therapy depends heavily on antiprotozoal drugs. Treatment options for piroplasmosis are limited; thus, the need for new antiprotozoal agents is becoming increasingly urgent. Ellagic acid (EA) is a
