| [some chemical and serological properties of non-dialysable fractions of human seminal plasmas]. | some chemical and serological properties of water-soluble and undialysable fraction (wsf) and water-insoluble and undialysable fraction (wisf) of human seminal plasmas were studied. both of the fractions contained proteins as the main components and also carbohydrates as minor components, and each fraction gave 9 bands which were stained with the periodate-schiff and/or coomassie brilliant blue reagents on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide slub gel electrophoresis. wsf reacted with 17 of 19 ... | 1989 | 2515272 |
| cellular immune responses to plasmodium falciparum antigens in children receiving long term anti-malarial chemoprophylaxis. | fifty-two gambian children who had received fortnightly chemoprophylaxis with maloprim, (pyrimethamine and dapsone), and 45 receiving placebo, were studied. cellular immune responses to malaria antigens, measured by lymphoproliferative responses and interferon production, were higher in children who had received prophylaxis than in controls, although the anti-malarial antibody levels were lower. during a one-year period after termination of prophylaxis, there was no increase in the frequency of ... | 1989 | 2515634 |
| [in vitro susceptibility of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli to quinolone antibiotics]. | in this study, in vitro susceptibilities of 24 campylobacter strains isolated from fecal samples were tested for quinolone antibiotics. 13 of the strains were identified as c. jejuni and 11 of them were c. coli. antibiotics which were included in this study were ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, pefloxacin and fleroxacin. antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed on mueller-hinton agar (supplemented with 5% sheep blood) using the agar dilution method. results showed that quinolone antibiotics are v ... | 1989 | 2518646 |
| shigellae and vibrionaceae species as a cause of diarrhoea among children in aden. | in aden, the incidence of diarrhoea among infants and children is still high. the present work aimed at investigation of shigelleae and vibrionaceae as etiologic agents of enteric infections. stool specimens obtained from 1056 children complaining of diarrhoea were cultured on plating media and on enrichment media. suspected colonies were then serotyped and antibiotic sensitivity tests performed. seven percent of the specimens were found positive for shigella strains. shigella boydii was the com ... | 1989 | 2519964 |

| pseudoappendicitis caused by plesiomonas shigelloides. | a 20-year-old patient was hospitalized with clinical signs of acute appendicitis. after surgery, the histological findings in the appendix and a lymphatic node suggested the diagnosis of pseudoappendicitis caused by plesiomonas shigelloides, which was isolated in pure culture from the lymphatic node. the strain of p. shigelloides was found to elaborate a heat-stable toxin and harbored two plasmids of 280 and 4 kilobases. a large plasmid has previously been implicated as a virulence marker in p. ... | 1988 | 3230143 |

| clinical disease spectrum and pathogenic factors associated with plesiomonas shigelloides infections in humans. | plesiomonas shigelloides is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic rod whose appropriate taxonomic position is presently under investigation. the isolation and identification of this microorganism in contaminated specimens (e.g., feces) by a clinical laboratory depend on the screening of gram-negative colonies for oxidase and indole positivity and the appropriate use of selective and differential agars. plesiomonads have been associated with extraintestinal diseases (bacteremia, meningitis) on ... | 1988 | 3287561 |
| isolation of plesiomonas shigelloides from nutrient broth with brilliant green: its use in screening stool samples from an african population. | the suitability and selectivity of nutrient broth with bile salts and varying concentrations of brilliant green as an enrichment medium was tested for the isolation of plesiomonas shigelloides from faeces. the broth was most effective at a concentration of 0.001 g/l brilliant green, using faeces deliberately contaminated with plesiomonas. two hundred and nineteen faecal samples from nigeria were then examined for the presence of plesiomonas and other bacterial pathogens. one yielded plesiomonas ... | 1987 | 3301909 |
