This report deals with the utilization of 14C-labeled urea in antibiotically decontaminated, bacteria-free guinea pigs using intragastric resp. intraperitoneal administration route. With conventional animals 52% of the intragastrically administered 14C dose can be demonstrated in the exhaled air, 1.2% in organs and 41% in the urine. 1.8% were found in intestinal and faecal contents. In bacteria-free animals 29% of the activity appeared in the exhaled air, 52% in urine and 2% remain in the intestinal tract, feces and animal body. Intraperitoneal administration of 14C urea revealed 17% resp. 14% in the exhaled air, 72% resp. 66% in urine and 2% resp. 3% in intestinal tract, feces and animal body in conventional resp. bacteria-free guinea pigs.

Endothelial cytotoxicity of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
Res Vet Sci

Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Canada.
The cytotoxicity of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 1 strain CM5 for porcine and bovine endothelial cells in vitro, was dose-dependent. This strain and its attenuated and avirulent substrain CM5A were equally cytotoxic. The cytotoxicity observed during five hours of exposure of endothelial cells to bacterial products was abolished if the bacteria were inactivated by heat or sonication.

We wanted to test whether lipopolysaccharide isolated from these strains yields identical results, and also the effect of the polysaccharide chain length, which varies from 0 to 40 or more repeating units in a single strain. Lipopolysaccharide was purified from the above strains, hydrolyzed (0.

Live Pasteurella haemolytica A1 was shown to have a cytotoxic effect on suspensions of sheep bronchoalveolar macrophages. Cytotoxic activity was also demonstrable in bacteria-free supernatants from suspensions containing P. haemolytica.

The nature of response appeared to depend primarily on the number of viable cells injected and to some extent on the species of animal and stage of pregnancy. Intraperitoneal injection of mice with 3 X 10(5) viable cells induced 100% abortion and no deaths.
