Abstract

Summary

Ninety-four clinical isolates of of human origin were tested for dermonecrotic toxin (DNT) production by three methods: dermonecrotic test in guineapigs, Vero cell culture cytotoxicity and ELISA. The strains were isolated from patients living in a rural area with widespread intensive pig breeding. Six strains were found to be toxigenic by the three tests. A major protein band of M 145 Kda corresponding to DNT on immunoblots was demonstrated in extracts from these strains. All were isolated from respiratory tract (diseases 5, healthy carriage 1). The difference between isolates from the respiratory tract and isolates from wounds inflicted by pets was statistically significant with regard to DNT production (p≪0.02). A possible role of the toxin in pulmonary diseases caused by has yet to be established.
