Abstract: | Phospholipase C was isolated from an outbreak strain of Salmonella gallinarum with ciprofloxacin extraction, dialysis, gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography and chromatofocussing. Purified phospholipase C (mol wt. 65 KDa; isoelectric point, pI 3.5) was resistant to pasteurization, stomach enzyme (pepsin), bacterial protease and lipase but lost its activity on trypsin and chymotrypsin treatment. It was sensitive to pH > or = 8.0. It was haemolytic, embryotoxic, enterohaemorrhagic, lethal to birds, cytotoxic to Vero and MDBK cells, dermonecrotoxic in rabbit and antigenically active protein. Antisera raised against purified phospholipase C neutralized its all biological activities and agglutinated the producer Salmonella strains. Serologically it was proved similar to phospholipase C of Klebsiella pneumoniae and S. weltevreden. Fluorescent antibody technique (FAT) was standardized to detect phospholipase producer strains. |
