    Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exogenous adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), administered to gilts during early stages of gestation, upon fetal survival and various maternal and conceptus parameters. Forty-eight gilts of approximately 6-7 months of age were bred by means of artificial insemination after detection of the second estrus and randomly allotted to one of 12 treatment-period groups. Treatment consisted of a daily intramuscular injection of 0, 40 or 80 U.S.P. units of a long acting ACTH preparation for a period of five days. The injection periods were 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 or 16-20 days of gestation with day one corresponding to 48 hours post-estrus detection. All gilts were slaughtered at approximately 37 days of gestation. Forty-two of the 48 inseminated gilts conceived. Conception rate was not different (P>.10) among the 12 treatment-period combinations. Percent fetal survival was greater (P<.09) in gilts receiving 80 U.S.P. units of ACTH (82 +/- 4.3%; X +/- SEM ) than in gilts receiving 40 U.S.P. units of ACTH (68.8 +/- 4.5%). The percent fetal survival in the control group (71.7 +/- 3.9%) was not different (P>.10) from either of the two ACTH treatment groups. A significant (P<.05) treatment by period interaction for percent fetal survival was observed. The lowest percent fetal survival (48.0 +/- 9.0%) was observed in gilts receiving 40 U.S.P. units of ACTH on day 11-15 of gestation. No significant (P>.10) differences were detected among the 12 treatment-period combinations for any of the maternal or conceptus parameters measured.

    Abstract Vibrio cholerae 01, the causative agent of cholera, is known to persist in estuarine environments as endogenous microflora. The recent introduction of V. cholerae 01 into estuaries of the North and South American continents has stimulated the need to determine the effect of controlled purification on reducing this pathogen in edible molluscan shellfish. Experiments defined parameters for the uptake and retention of V. cholerae 01 in tissues of Crassostrea virginica, and these parameters were compared with those for Escherichia coli and Salmonella tallahassee, bacteria which are usually eliminated from moderately contaminated shellfish within 48 h. Oysters accumulated greater concentrations of V. cholerae 01 than E. coli and S. tallahassee. When V. cholerae 01 was exposed to controlled purification at 15, 19 and 25 degrees C over 48 h, it persisted in oysters at markedly higher levels than E. coli and S. tallahassee. The concentration of a V. cholerae 01-specific agglutinin did not positively correlate with the uptake or retention of V. cholerae 01. These data show that state and federally approved controlled purification techniques are not effective at reducing V. cholerae 01 in oysters.

    Abstract Vibrio vulnificus is the leading cause of food-related mortality reported in the state of Florida. It is normal microflora in marine environments, where seawater and molluscan shellfish are the primary vectors of V. vulnificus disease. Risk correlates with seasonally high numbers of V. vulnificus bacteria during the summer months. Currently, the infectious dose for humans, as well as whether the disease is caused by single or multiple strains found in molluscan shellfish, is unknown. In this work, we studied pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles of V. vulnificus strains isolated from blood and oysters associated with V. vulnificus disease. Results showed that ca. 10(3) V. vulnificus bacteria/gram of oyster and higher concentrations were associated with human infections and that a single V. vulnificus strain, evidenced by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles, was isolated from human tissues.

    Abstract The 37-kDa protein (P37) of Borrelia burgdorferi is an antigen that elicits an early immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody response in Lyme disease patients. The P37 gene was cloned from a B. burgdorferi genomic library by screening with antibody from a Lyme disease patient who had developed a prominent humoral response to the P37 antigen. DNA sequence analysis of this clone revealed the identity of P37 to be FlaA, an outer sheath protein of the periplasmic flagella. Recombinant P37 expression was accomplished in Escherichia coli by using a gene construct with the leader peptide deleted and fused to a 38-kDa E. coli protein. The recombinant antigen was reactive in IgM immunoblots using serum samples from patients clinically diagnosed with early Lyme disease that had been scored positive for B. burgdorferi anti-P37 reactivity. Lyme disease patient samples serologically negative for the B. burgdorferi P37 protein did not react with the recombinant. Recombinant P37 may be a useful component of a set of defined antigens for the serodiagnosis of early Lyme disease. This protein can be utilized as a marker in diagnostic immunoblots, aiding in the standardization of the present generation of IgM serologic tests.
