| comparative study of the nature and biological activities of bacterial enterotoxins. | it is apparent that there are considerable similarities between many of the enterotoxins produced by enteric pathogens. although the effect of most of these toxins is restricted to the intestine in vivo, many cells are also sensitive to intoxication in vitro. the resultant in-vitro biochemical changes may have no pathological significance but serve to underline the central role of cyclic nucleotides in cellular fluid regulation. the biological activity of these enterotoxins is the result of inte ... | 1984 | 6327986 |
| aeromonas hydrophila and plesiomonas shigelloides as causes of intestinal infections. | infections due to aeromonas hydrophila and plesiomonas shigelloides in immuno-compromised hosts have been well documented, but the role of these organisms in causing gastrointestinal disease in healthy persons is controversial. despite difficulties in characterizing the exotoxins produced by aeromonas species, there is accumulating evidence that these bacteria are capable of causing usually mild, self-limited diarrheal disease in previously healthy adults. some pediatric patients may have protra ... | 1984 | 6390638 |

| demonstration of cholera toxin-related factor in cultures of aeromonas species by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | the production of toxins by aeromonas species was examined by the suckling mouse test, the hemolysin test, and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with anticholera enterotoxin. a factor that was immunologically related to cholera enterotoxin was produced by 5 of 14 strains of aeromonas hydrophila and 4 of 15 strains of aeromonas sobria. analysis by these assays and by a test for heat stability suggested that the factor differed from hemolysin and from toxin that was active in the suckling mous ... | 1985 | 4044041 |
| lack of correlation between known virulence properties of aeromonas hydrophila and enteropathogenicity for humans. | five strains of aeromonas hydrophila were selected for use in volunteer challenge trials. all five strains produced cytotoxin, hemolysin enterotoxin, lysine decarboxylase, acetylmethylcarbinol, and dnase. two strains hydrolyzed esculin. all strains produced purulent hemorrhagic fluid accumulation in rabbit ileal loops, but failed to induce keratoconjunctivitis in guinea pigs. none of the strains produced mannose-resistant hemagglutinins. in challenge studies, diarrhea was demonstrated in only 2 ... | 1985 | 4044042 |
| invasiveness of aeromonas spp. in relation to biotype, virulence factors, and clinical features. | of 69 fecal isolates of aeromonas spp., 18 had the ability to invade hep-2 cells. invasiveness correlated with biotype; of the 18 invasive strains, 16 were a. sobria and 2 were a. hydrophila. no invasive strains were found among the a. caviae. of the 18 invasive strains, 13 were enterotoxigenic. of the enterotoxigenic and invasive strains, 12 were a. sobria, but enterotoxicity was also more common among noninvasive strains of a. sobria. fucose-resistant hemagglutination was also more common in a ... | 1985 | 4019741 |
| invasion of hep-2 cells by fecal isolates of aeromonas hydrophila. | human diarrheal isolates of aeromonas hydrophila were found to be invasive in hep-2 cell monolayers. microscopic examination of two isolates from patients with symptoms of dysentery revealed that infected hep-2 cells contained up to 50 bacteria localized within areas of the cytoplasm. a quantitative invasion assay was developed, using viable counts of total intracellular bacteria. five fecal isolates of a. hydrophila were classified as invasive, with an average of 0.1 up to 2 bacteria per hep-2 ... | 1985 | 3972447 |
| protein export by a gram-negative bacterium: production of aerolysin by aeromonas hydrophila. | the synthesis and export of aerolysin, an extracellular protein toxin released by the gram-negative bacterium aeromonas hydrophila, was studied by pulse-labeling with [35s]methionine. the toxin was synthesized as a higher-molecular-weight precursor. this was processed cotranslationally, resulting in the appearance within the cell of the mature protein, which was then exported to the supernatant. precursor aerolysin accumulated in cells incubated in the presence of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl ... | 1985 | 3972770 |
| identification of hydroxy fatty acids in aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas sobria, and aeromonas caviae. | gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters obtained from clinical isolates of aeromonas hydrophila, a. sobria, and a. caviae revealed the presence of two hydroxy fatty acid species, 3-oh 12:0 and 3-oh 14:0. | 1985 | 3934208 |
| clinical predictors of acute bacterial diarrhea in young children. | this prospective study assessed the value of presenting history, physical examination, and screening laboratory tests in predicting whether diarrhea in a young child is associated with a stool culture positive for a bacterial pathogen. acutely ill children less than 4 years old were studied in a hospital outpatient setting. two hundred patients were seen in a 9 1/2-month period, which encompassed the seasons of summer, fall, and winter. one hundred ninety-five patients had cultures completed and ... | 1985 | 4047797 |
| in vitro activities of the quinolone antimicrobial agents a-56619 and a-56620. | the in vitro activities of two new quinolone antimicrobial agents, a-56619 and a-56620, were compared with those of norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and other antimicrobial agents. the activity of a-56620 was comparable to that of ciprofloxacin against escherichia coli, enterobacter cloacae, and aeromonas hydrophila (mics for 90% of the strains were less than or equal to 0.06 micrograms/ml); acinetobacter anitratus and staphylococcus aureus (mic for 90% of the strains was 0.5 micrograms/ml); and most ... | 1985 | 3935046 |
| pathogenicity of aeromonas. | the ability of 15 aeromonas sobria and 9 aeromonas hydrophila isolates to cause subcutaneous lesions was tested. an inoculum of 10(11) colony forming units/l was injected subcutaneously into mice. surviving animals developed a subcutaneous abscess and/or localised skin sloughing and loss of hair (alopecia). an abscess was induced by all nine a. hydrophila isolates and by three of the 15 a. sobria isolates. the induction of local epidermal sloughing and loss of hair followed challenge with either ... | 1985 | 3981022 |

| cephalothin susceptibility as a potential marker for the aeromonas sobria group. | fifty-four motile aeromonas strains, composing the three currently recognizable species, were tested for susceptibility to cephalothin by broth dilution and disk agar diffusion assays. cephalothin susceptibility was significantly associated with aeromonas sobria (p less than 0.001) and may be an additional phenotypic marker useful in the identification of this species. | 1985 | 4056009 |
| bacteremia caused by aeromonas species in hospitalized cancer patients. | bacteremia caused by aeromonas species occurred in 24 hospitalized patients in a cancer institute during a 13-year period. all but one of these patients had a malignancy (88% had leukemia), and most were receiving chemotherapy for cancer. there was a striking numerical predominance of male patients (82%). unlike some previously described patients with infections due to this organism, none of these 24 patients had recently been exposed to fresh or salt water or to fish. the source of the infectin ... | 1985 | 4023526 |
| antibacterial activity of amifloxacin (win 49, 375), a new quinolone agent. | the in vitro activity of amifloxacin, a quinolone antimicrobial agent was compared with those of ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, ofloxacin and norfloxacin against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. ninety percent of escherichia coli, klebsiella species, aeromonas, salmonella, shigella, citrobacter, enterobacter species, proteus mirabilis, serratia marcescens, and morganella morganii were inhibited by less than or equal to 0.5 microgram/ml. amifloxacin inhibited branhamella, haemophilus, and neis ... | 1985 | 4064609 |
| aeromonas caviae: an enteric pathogen? | of the aeromonas spp. isolated routinely in our laboratory from human feces, about two thirds represent aeromonas caviae. in contrast to aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas sobria, this species has been considered to be of little enteropathogenic significance due to the absence of known virulence factors. the clinical data presented here suggest a clinical significance of a. caviae, at least in some cases. as yet nothing is known about the pathogenic mechanisms involved. | 1985 | 4066046 |
| a transition-state-analog inhibitor influences zinc-binding by aeromonas aminopeptidase. | the transition-state-analog inhibitor, 1-butaneboronic acid, markedly enhances the uptake of one g-atom of zn2+ ions from a metal ion buffer system by zn-depleted aeromonas aminopeptidase. in contrast, a substrate-analog inhibitor, n-valeramide, does not perturb the equilibrium between zn2+ ions and the enzyme in a metal ion buffer system. these results establish a role for metal ions in the binding of 1-butaneboronic acid to aeromonas amino-peptidase and strongly imply that a bound zn2+ ion int ... | 1985 | 4026862 |
| salmonellae and pollution indicator bacteria in municipal and food processing effluents and the cornwallis river. | a study was conducted to determine the incidence of fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci, aeromonas hydrophilia, and salmonella spp. in the waste discharges of seven sewage treatment plants, four fruit and vegetable canneries, a meat packing plant, a poultry processing plant, and a potato processing plant located along the cornwallis river in nova scotia, canada. surface water samples were also collected from 13 locations in the river to assess the impact of these waste discharges on the receivin ... | 1985 | 4027779 |
| aeromonas-related diarrhea in adults. | we have reviewed the incidence of aeromonas in patients with enteric disease at our hospital and found it to be the highest of any potential enteric pathogen. eighty adult patients with diarrhea had aeromonas isolated from feces, and in 73 aeromonas was the only potential bacterial or parasitic pathogen detected. the spectrum of illness in patients with aeromonas-related diarrhea ranged from acute, self-limited diarrhea to a chronic, indolent diarrheal illness. sixteen percent (13/80) of the pat ... | 1985 | 4074035 |
| methods for the detection of haemagglutinins in aeromonas. | when grown in specified conditions and tested by a rocked-tile method, 40 of 41 isolates of two species of aeromonas formed simultaneously at least two haemagglutinins among which were: (i) a mannose-sensitive haemagglutinins with strongest activity for guinea-pig or fowl red cells, formed by all of 31 isolates of a. hydrophila and 9 of 10 isolates of a. punctata ss. caviae; (ii) a haemagglutinin, sensitive to l-fucose or d-mannose, that reacted with human red cells and which was formed by all 4 ... | 1985 | 3981614 |
| media for the isolation of aeromonas hydrophila. | isolation rates of aeromonas hydrophila from stool samples of symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals were examined for several common enteric media. sheep blood agar with 10 micrograms of ampicillin per ml, preceded by overnight enrichment in alkaline peptone water, yielded 2.6 times the number of isolates as the other media examined and is recommended for the isolation of a. hydrophila from humans. | 1985 | 4056015 |
