intestinal secretory immune response to infection with aeromonas species and plesiomonas shigelloides among students from the united states in mexico.intestinal secretory iga (siga) response or lack of response among adults in mexico with diarrhea was used as an indicator of enteropathogenicity of aeromonas species and plesiomonas shigelloides. siga was extracted from stool specimens obtained at day of presentation and 5 days later. total siga was standardized, and specific siga titer against the organism being shed by each patient was determined. western blotting was used to determine which microbial antigens elicited an intestinal siga resp ...19911940478
[therapeutic procedure for tuberculous thrombophlebitis].the author describe five cases of thrombophlebitis unchained for the bacillus of koch, which first focus was not detected through the methods of search often used in this kind of work. it's a very rare peripheral vascular disease. the clinical manifestations which follows its installation has in the pain its most important symptom. the surgical resection of the vein was the most suitable conduct with the present pathological reality, once the clinical measures were unable to bring satisfactory r ...19911952265
aeromonas caviae: ecologic adaptation in the intestinal tract of infants coupled to adherence and enterotoxin production as factors in enteropathogenicity.aeromonas caviae isolated from stools of diarrheic formula-fed infants and environmental sources produce acetic acid when grown in glucose broth, which is bactericidal (suicide phenomenon). a. caviae grows anaerobically in a minimal medium or under permissive conditions such as the intestinal tract of formula-fed infants. these isolates adhered to hep-2 cells and produced a cytotoxic and a cytotonic enterotoxin which underscore their enteropathogenicity.19912044694

aeromonas spp. and their association with human diarrheal disease.between january 1988 and december 1989 aeromonas species were isolated from 45 (1.8%) of 2,480 patients with acute gastroenteritis. no other bacterial enteric pathogens were found in any of these 45 patients. of the 45 aeromonas isolates, 35 strains (77.8%) were aeromonas hydrophila, 7 (15.5%) were aeromonas sobria, and 3 (6.7%) were aeromonas caviae. most of the patients were under 5 years of age. no bacterial enteric pathogens, including aeromonas species, were isolated from 512 age- and sex-m ...19912056050
haemolysin occurrence among aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas caviae and aeromonas sobria strains isolated from different aquatic ecosystems.a total of 909 aeromonas spp. isolates from different aquatic ecosystems were tested for haemolysin production by both sheep and horse blood agar-plate assays and by rabbit erythrocytes in broth assay. a comparison of these different methods was undertaken in order to appreciate their capacity to evaluate the haemolytic activity of aeromonas spp. isolated from aquatic ecosystems. the haemolytic activity was associated particularly with a. hydrophila and a. sobria (about 95% of strains), whereas ...19912068383
analysis of the autoagglutination phenomenon, serogroup and hydrophobicity as virulence markers in mesophilic aeromonads isolated from stool cultures.the autoagglutination phenomenon (aa) was studied in 71 strains of mesophilic aeromonads isolated from stool cultures of patients with acute diarrhea (28 aeromonas hydrophila, 20 aeromonas sobria, and 23 aeromonas caviae). two phenotypes were considered in the aa+ strains: sp+ (self-pelleting) and pab+ (precipitation after boiling). serogrouping of the strains was performed only with the 0:11 serum. other properties studied were agglutination with acriflavine (acr) and crystal violet uptake (cvb ...19902073902
