| [determination of the adenine-specific methylase recognition site of shigella sonnei 47, using hydrazinolysis with subsequent separation of purine oligonucleotides by thin layer chromatography on deae- cellulose]. | a procedure for separation of oligopurine blocks of different length and composition by two-dimensional thin layer chromatography on deae-cellulose plates has been developed. this method allows a comparative analysis of the purine isostich content in the dnas of various origin. in case of methylated dna, the method permits to compare the substrate specificity of different enzymes responsible for the adenine residue methylation in the dna. in combination with enzymatic treatment of labeled methyl ... | 1985 | 3888295 |
| [comparative pharmacological analysis of the mechanisms of thrombocyte aggregation induced by bacterial toxins and adp]. | it has been demonstrated in experiments in vitro that exotoxin and endotoxin of shigella sonnei produce the concentration-dependent rabbit platelet aggregation. acetylsalicylic acid and theophylline substantially inhibit the adp-induced aggregation and suppress to a less degree the effects of bacterial toxins. monoiodine acetate inhibits aggregation induced by adp and potentiates the aggregating action of toxins. | 1985 | 3888666 |
| survival of bacterial enteropathogens in the ice of popular drinks. | we examined the survival of four bacterial enteropathogens frozen in ice and subsequently allowed to melt in various popular drinks. the counts of all the organisms were markedly lowered by freezing alone, and the numbers were further decreased by exposure to some of the drinks. nevertheless, none of the organisms were completely eliminated as a result of freezing for 24 hours followed by melting in any of the test drinks, even when the drink was 86-proof tequila. | 1985 | 3889393 |
| treatment of severe bacillary dysentery with trimethoprim alone. | trimethoprim (300 mg twice daily for five days) and co-trimoxazole (two tablets twice daily for five days) were compared as treatment for adult patients with severe shigellosis in rwanda. excellent bacteriological and clinical results were obtained with both regimens, with the exception of patients infected with a trimethoprim-resistant strain of shigella dysenteriae type 1. since only 20 patients were investigated, the conclusions of our study do not reach statistical significance. before recom ... | 1985 | 3890282 |
| [epidemiology and clinical aspects of campylobacter enteritis in childhood]. | stool specimens of 478 children with enteritic symptoms were screened for enteropathogenic bacteria over a 5-month period. 28 cases of infection due to campylobacter jejuni were found. the incidence of campylobacter enteritis exceeded that of salmonella and shigella infections recorded over the same period (17 and 11 cases, respectively). infected children-aged between 2 months and 15 1/2 years-presented with symptoms of mild gastroenteritis. 18 patients had bloody diarrhoea, whilst 4 children a ... | 1985 | 3890373 |
| a comparative study of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli, shigella, aeromonas, and vibrio as etiologies of diarrhea in northeastern thailand. | the incidence of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (etec), shigella, aeromonas, and vibrio was determined in patients with diarrhea seen at a hospital in northeastern thailand, and compared with the incidence of these bacteria in household contacts and their neighbors. etec was identified in 17%, shigella in 9%, aeromonas in 9%, v. parahaemolyticus in 5%, and non-01 v. cholerae in 2% of 299 patients with diarrhea. these five species of bacteria were isolated more often from patients with diarrhea ... | 1985 | 3890578 |

| etiology and epidemiology of diarrheal diseases in the united states. | accurate data on the frequency of acute diarrheal illness and the distribution of pathogens are not available for several reasons, including the facts that only a small fraction of cases come to the attention of physicians and that available diagnostic tests establish an etiology in only about half of these. in a survey of three groups of patients in a community (upper-middle class and lower class outpatients and hospitalized infants), a possible cause was found in fewer than 20 percent of outpa ... | 1985 | 3893118 |
| nonfluid therapy and selected chemoprophylaxis of acute diarrhea. | various available forms of therapy can decrease morbidity and mortality associated with acute diarrhea. oral fluids represent the cornerstone of therapy of all cases. a variety of agents acting nonspecifically can decrease diarrhea and improve other worrisome symptoms associated with enteric infection. kaopectate makes the stool more formed but has little additional effects. bismuth subsalicylate, an antisecretory agent, reduces the number of stools passed by about 50 percent and improves other ... | 1985 | 3893119 |

| [possibilities of enhancing the sensitivity of the coagglutination reaction]. | the influence of heating shigella suspension at 60 degrees c (for 3 minutes) and 100 degrees c (for 30 minutes), as well as adding extraneous microorganisms (escherichia coli, proteus) and homologous antibodies to these suspensions, on the sensitivity of the coagglutination test has been studied. the possibility of enhancing the sensitivity of this test 10 to 100 times by heating shigella suspensions at 100 degrees c for 30 minutes has been shown. | 1985 | 3898662 |
| [determination of the structural integrity of dna from pathogenic enterobacteria]. | among the enterobacterial strains under study, more organisms in the stationary phase of growth have been found to have nicks in their dna than those in the exponential phase. bacteria less sensitive to ultraviolet irradiation have the least number of nicks in each phase of growth. the number of nicks in different strains belonging to the serovar is sufficiently stable. virulent and avirulent forms show no difference in this characteristic. | 1985 | 3898668 |
| [structural characteristics of the remote interaction of shigella and salmonella with enterocytes of experimental animals]. | the electron-microscopic analysis of the adhesion of shigella and salmonella nonfimbriated strains to the surface of enterocytes of laboratory animals in vivo and in vitro has revealed the presence of structural links, whose formation occurs with the participation of the glycocalix of the interacting cells and the extracellular gel. | 1985 | 3898674 |
| plasmid-mediated drug resistance of shigellae in kuwait. | of 153 clinical isolates of shigellae examined, 64.7% belonged to shigella flexneri, 18.9% to sh. sonnei, 11.8% to sh. boydii and 4.6% to sh. dysenteriae. part of these isolates were resistant to sulfamethoxazole and streptomycin (88.2% each), ampicillin (66.7%), tetracycline (63.4%) and co-trimoxazole (43.1%), with levels of resistance (mic50 and mic90) being invariably high. resistance to three or more drugs (multidrug resistance) was seen in 77.8% of the isolates. all the 25 strains examined ... | 1985 | 3899007 |
| dna hybridization in the diagnosis of bacterial diarrhea. | dna hybridization with either cloned genes for enteropathogenic determinants or dna segments that are species-specific is a valuable tool to identify certain bacterial enteric pathogens. thus far, only e. coli and v. cholerae enterotoxin gene probes have been used to identify etec and v. cholerae in clinical specimens. dna probes developed for salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, and enteroinvasive and enteropathogenic e. coli need to be evaluated with clinical specimens. the major contribution ... | 1985 | 3899478 |
| [interrelation of erythropoiesis and lymphopoiesis in experimental infectious processes and in viral leukemogenesis]. | interrelation of erythropoiesis and immune response was studied in mice of various lines infected with mycoplasma species, shigella flexneri 2a and rauscher leukemia virus (r-mlv). intensity of erythropoiesis was estimated by the endocolonization data of sublethally irradiated mice and 59fe incorporation, while immune reactivity--by generation of splenic antibody-forming cells in response to immunization with sheep erythrocytes. the inverse correlation between the ability of infectious agents to ... | 1985 | 3899611 |
| four cases of shigella septicemia in israel. | four cases of shigella septicemia are presented. in two children infection was caused by shigella flexneri and in two adults, who had underlying diseases which caused immunosuppression, by shigella sonnei and shigella schmitzi. all four patients responded to intravenous antibiotic therapy. in one patient the organism persisted in the stool, but was eliminated after oral administration of chloramphenicol. shigella septicemia is not uncommon and blood cultures should be obtained in suspected cases ... | 1985 | 3899637 |

| epidemiological markers of shigella sonnei infections: r-plasmid fingerprinting, phage-typing and biotyping. | in 1980, the number of shigella sonnei strains isolated in sicily increased markedly. approximately 80% of the isolates belonged to phage-type 3 and showed the same antibiotic resistance pattern, suggesting that an epidemic had been going on for several months. plasmid analysis of strains isolated at various times in different places supported this view. agarose gel electrophoresis of plasmid preparations from seven selected phage-type 3 isolates showed the presence of two plasmids, of 80 megada ... | 1985 | 3901879 |
| sensitivity to bile salts of shigella flexneri sublethally heat stressed in buffer or broth. | batch cultures of shigella flexneri m4243 were grown at 37 degrees c in broth to early stationary phase, washed, and heated at 50 degrees c in 0.1 m phosphate buffer (ph 7.0). cells were surface plated on a tryptic phytone glucose agar (tpga), tpga with 0.15 or 0.85% bile salts no. 3 (tpga-bs 0.15 or tpga-bs 0.85), or tpga with 0.25 or 0.50% sodium deoxycholate (tpga-dc 0.25 or tpga-dc 0.50). cells sampled after no heating produced colony counts on tpga-bs 0.85 or on tpga-dc 0.50 that were no mo ... | 1985 | 3901919 |
| changes in virulence of waterborne enteropathogens with chlorine injury. | we designed experiments to assess the effect of chlorine injury on the virulence of waterborne enteropathogens. higher chlorine doses (0.9 to 1.5 mg/liter) were necessary to produce injured yersinia enterocolitica, salmonella typhimurium, and shigella spp. than to produce injured enterotoxigenic escherichia coli or coliform bacteria (0.25 to 0.5 mg/liter) in the test system used; 50% lethal dose experiments in which mice were used showed that injured y. enterocolitica cells were 20 times less vi ... | 1985 | 3901920 |
| susceptibility and hla-b27 in post-dysenteric arthropathies. | a recent outbreak of bacillary dysentery in the netherlands revealed that, despite the close association of hla-b27 with post-dysenteric or reactive arthritis (rea), not even in one family did all hla-b27 positive patients infected by an arthritogenic bacterium, develop rea. this dissociation shows that additional factors beside b27 may determine susceptibility to rea. | 1985 | 3902627 |
| oral vaccination against enteric bacterial infections: an overview. | the present situation and the future prospects for the use of oral vaccines against the major enteric diseases typhoid fever, shigellosis and cholera are discussed in this paper. no significant protection could be demonstrated for oral inactivated whole-cell vaccines. in contrast, an oral live vaccine based on the attenuated salmonella typhi strain ty 21a was highly efficacious in volunteer challenge studies and in a controlled field trial. two attenuated strains are presently being tested in vo ... | 1985 | 3902655 |

| decreased chemiluminescent associated phagocytic response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to chlamydia trachomatis in patients with hla-b27+ anterior uveitis. | the chemiluminescent (cl) associated phagocytic response of peripheral blood monocytes to two serovars of chlamydia trachomatis, shigella flexneri and zymosan was assessed in a group of 26 patients with anterior uveitis (au). hla-b27+ patients with au, when compared to hla-b27- patients with au and appropriate controls, had a significantly decreased cl response to c. trachomatis but no difference between groups in the response to s. flexneri and zymosan. the decreased chemiluminescent (phagocyti ... | 1985 | 3904888 |
| identification and antigenic characterization of virulence-associated, plasmid-coded proteins of shigella spp. and enteroinvasive escherichia coli. | seven plasmid-coded polypeptides, designated a through g, were identified by two-dimensional nonequilibrium ph gradient electrophoresis of radiolabeled extracts from minicells of virulent shigella flexneri serotypes 2a and 5 and enteroinvasive escherichia coli o143. these polypeptides were deemed to be products of 140-megadalton (mda) virulence-associated plasmids because they were not synthesized in minicells which were not harboring a 140-mda plasmid or in minicells which were carrying an f la ... | 1985 | 3905608 |
| characterization of monoclonal antibodies against shiga-like toxin from escherichia coli. | three monoclonal antibodies, designated mab 16e6, mab 13c4, and mab 19g8, were produced which recognize shiga-like toxin (slt) from escherichia coli. all three monoclonal antibodies neutralized the cytotoxicity of e. coli slt and were able to immunoprecipitate intact labeled toxin with staphylococcus aureus protein a. the three antibodies were of the g1 heavy and kappa light chain classes. mab 16e6 bound to the b subunit of slt in western blots and also neutralized the lethality of the toxin for ... | 1985 | 3905611 |
| interspecific reconstitution of maltose transport and chemotaxis in escherichia coli with maltose-binding protein from various enteric bacteria. | in escherichia coli, the periplasmic maltose-binding protein (mbp), the product of the male gene, is the primary recognition component of the transport system for maltose and maltodextrins. it is also the maltose chemoreceptor, in which capacity it interacts with the signal transducer tar (taxis to aspartate and some repellents). in studies of the maltose system in other members of the family enterobacteriaceae, we found that mbp is produced by salmonella typhimurium, klebsiella pneumoniae, ente ... | 1985 | 3905762 |
| transferable resistance to trimethoprim in enteric pathogens isolated in kuwait. | trimethoprim resistance was seen in 14.8% of 500 strains of salmonella, 43.1% of 153 strains of shigella and 59% of 27 strains of escherichia coli isolated from stools of patients with diarrhoea. strains with a high level of trimethoprim resistance (mic of much greater than 512 micrograms) were subjected to conjugal transfer. trimethoprim resistance was plasmid-mediated in all of 42 strains of shigella and 12 strains of e. coli examined. however, 2 of the 47 strains of salmonella could not trans ... | 1985 | 3905958 |
| changing pattern of resistant shiga bacillus (shigella dysenteriae type 1) and shigella flexneri in bangladesh. | shigella dysenteriae type 1 (shiga bacillus) has made a dramatic comeback in bangladesh after 10 years when shigella flexneri was the dominant serogroup. whereas s. flexneri showed little increase in resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents--namely, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (tmp-smx) and ampicillin-over the years, s. dysenteriae type 1 underwent rapid changes with regard to sensitivity pattern during the last two years. the first tmp-smx-resistant strain of s. dysenteriae type 1 ... | 1985 | 3905980 |
