| Abstract | Infectious peritonitis results from bacterial contamination of the abdominal cavity. Conventional antibiotic treatment is complicated both by the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and by increased patient populations intrinsically at risk for nosocomial infections. To complement antibiotic therapies, the efficacy of direct, locally applied pooled human immunoglobulin G (IgG) was assessed in a murine model (strains CF-1, CD-1, and CFW) of peritonitis caused by intraperitoneal inoculations of 106 or 107 CFU of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strains IFO-3455, M-2, and MSRI-7072). Various doses of IgG (0.005 to 10 mg/mouse) administered intraperitoneally simultaneously with local bacterial challenge significantly increased survival in a dose-dependent manner. Local intraperitoneal application of 10 mg of IgG increased animal survival independent of either the P. aeruginosa or the murine strains used. A local dose of 10 mg of IgG administered up to 6 h prophylactically or at the time of bacterial challenge resulted in 100% survival. Therapeutic 10-mg IgG treatment given up to 12 h postinfection also significantly increased survival. Human IgG administered to the mouse peritoneal cavity was rapidly detected systemically in serum. Additionally, administered IgG in peritoneal lavage fluid samples actively opsonized and decreased the bacterial burden via phagocytosis at 2 and 4 h post-bacterial challenge. Tissue microbial quantification studies showed that 1.0 mg of locally applied IgG significantly reduced the bacterial burden in the liver, peritoneal cavity, and blood and correlated with reduced levels of interleukin-6 in serum. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
