RESUMO

Listeria monocytogenes is a cause of infectious food-borne disease in humans, characterized by neurological manifestations, abortion, and neonatal septicemia. It is intracellular bacterium, which limits the development of protective inactivated vacines. Adjuvants capable of stimulating cellular immune response are important tools for developing novel vaccines against intracellular bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vaccine potential of L. monocytogenes inactivated by gamma irradiation (KLM-γ) encapsulated in alginate microcapsules associated or not with chitosan against listeriosis in the murine model. At the fourth day after challenge there was a reduction in bacterial recovery in mice vaccinated with KLM-γ encapsulated with alginate or alginate-chitosan, with lower bacterial loads in the spleen (10 fold) and liver (100 fold) when compared to non-vaccinated mice. In vitro stimulation of splenocytes from mice vaccinated with alginate-chitosan-encapsulated KLM-γ resulted in lymphocyte proliferation, increase of proportion of memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cell and production of IL-10 and IFN-γ. Interestingly, the group vaccinated with alginate-chitosan-encapsulated KLM-γ had increased survival to lethal infection with lower L. monocytogenes-induced hepatic inflammation and necrosis. Therefore, KLM-γ encapsulation with alginate-chitosan proved to have potential for development of novel and safe inactivated vaccine formulations against listeriosis.

RESUMO

The investigation of the effects of three essential oils (EOs) from Taxandria fragrans (FRA), Melaleuca alternifolia (TTO) and Boswellia serrata (IF), alone and combined with ketoconazole (KTZ), and their functionalised gold nanoparticles (AuNP) against Trichophyton interdigitale both in vitro and in vivo indicated that EOs presented activity against T. interdigitale. The combination of EOs and KTZ was antagonistic. FRA, TTO, gold nanoparticles capped with T. fragrans (AuNPFRA) and gold nanoparticles capped with M. alternifolia (AuNPTTO) presented antidermatophytic activity in vivo, with the capacity to reduce fungal burden and to preserve tissue architecture; however, combination treatment with KTZ increased fungal burden and caused tissue damage. The combination of EO with KTZ exhibited antagonistic activity and was histologically harmful. In contrast, FRA, TTO, AuNPFRA and AuNPTTO are promising treatments for dermatophytosis.

RESUMO

A 9-year-old, 5.5-kg (12.12-lb) spayed female Poodle was evaluated due to recurrent seizures and possible diabetes. The dog also had a history of anorexia, polyuria and polydipsia. Serum biochemistry results revealed increases in pancreatic amylase and glucose associated with decreased protein levels. Abdominal ultrasound suggested acute pancreatitis and/or a pancreatic tumor with intense peripancreatic vascularization. The clinical condition of the dog worsened despite medical treatment, and death occurred shortly thereafter. At necropsy, blood clots were found in the stomach and in the intestinal lumen, which was filled with undigested blood. The pancreas was moderately increased in size with an irregular surface and multifocal yellow firm areas. In the cranial portion of the pancreas, a single nodule, approximately 2 cm in diameter, was found. Histologic evaluation of the pancreas revealed chronic and acute lesions characterized by lymphohistiocytic pancreatitis, periductal fibrosis, degeneration of pancreatic islets and necrotizing and fibrinopurulent pancreatitis. The nodule was diagnosed as pancreatic adenocarcinoma. These clinical, imaging, and histopathologic findings were compatible with Hemosuccus pancreaticus. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of Hemosuccus pancreaticusin a dog and it should be considered as a differential diagnosis for dogs with pancreatic disease and gastrointestinal bleeding.
