effect of enterotoxins of vibrio cholerae, escherichia coli, and shigella dysenteriae type 1 on fluid and electrolyte transport in the colon.	experiments were designed to determine whether the enterotoxins of vibrio cholerae, escherichia coli, and shigella dysenteriae type 1 alter the movement of fluid and electrolytes in the rat cecum. net secretion of water and sodium were observed after incubation of 1.67 x10(-5) mug of purified cholera toxin (choleragen)/ml for 18 hr or of 50 mug/ml for 3 hr. the effect of choleragen on cecal transport of water and electrolytes was related to the dose. in addition, choleragen increased cecal mucos ...	1976	787442
shigellosis from swimming.	in augsut 1974, 31 of 45 cases of shigella sonnei infection in dubuque, iowa, were traced to swimming in an 8-km stretch of the mississippi river. comparison of the first case in each affected family with neighborhood controls showed a significant correlation between swimming and illness (p less than .0001). a significant association between diarrheal illness and swimming (p less than .0001) was also demonstrated by a retrospective survey of 60 families who had camped at a park beside the river; ...	1976	787562

[shigellosis in tucumán].	in 731 diarrhea cases studied from january 1971 to june 1973 in tucumán a significant increase of shigellosis in eutrophic children was observed. the frequency of shigella isolations, considering all the enteropathogens found, were: 15,5 %; 13 % and 21,3 % in 1971, 1972 and 1973, respectively (table 1). all the strains of shigella isolated belonged to the shigella flexneri b or shigella sonnei d groups, being the percentage for the former 78 % in 1971; 93 % in 1972 and 77 % in 1973 (table 2). th ...	1975	790480
shigellosis transmitted by nurses.	twelve cases of shigella sonnei infection, with two deaths, occurred at a custodial institution in donelson, tennessee, in april and may 1973. nine of the cases and both deaths were in patients hospitalized at the institution's infirmary. the patients with nosocomial shigellosis were significantly younger and had been hospitalized significantly longer than controls. epidemiologic investigation implicated staff members in the transmission of illness from one patient to another and identified the ...	1976	790590
experimental techniques in the determination of aetiology of acute infantile gastroenteritis.	techniques used in the research laboratory for the microbiological diagnosis of infantile gastroenteritis are described. these techniques are in essence experimental models of the three pathogenetic mechanisms of bacterial diarrhoea. from the clinical bacteriological standpoint, although there is little difficulty with the identification of enteropathic bacteria such as salmonella and shigella, the differentiation of enteropathic strains of escherichia coli from commensal strains is not possible ...	1976	790602
