| [houseflies (m. domestica l.) as transmitters of the agent of cholera]. | the authors present the experimental results of study of the role played by domestic flies in the spread of cholera causative agents. it was found that cholera microbes survived on the external surface of flies for 5 to 7 days, and in the insect organism--in the course of their whole life. cholera vibrios underwent no sharp changes in the organism of flies. by means of individual infection method and keeping of flies excluding a possibility. by means of individual infection method and keeping o ... | 1977 | 602541 |
| re-examination of small intestinal disposal of vibrio cholerae in mice. | the rapid disposal of antibody-treated vibrios by peristalsis in whole animal models makes it difficult to obtain clear evidence for a simultaneous intra-intestinal bactericidal effect. in this paper we have re-examined the evidence for direct intra-intestinal killing. we have found that the data can be explained adequately by peristaltic effects without postulating a direct bactericidal action in vivo. | 1977 | 603462 |

| squamous cell carcinoma in chronic hydradenitis suppurativa: a case report. | a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising in hydradenitis suppurativa of over 20 years duration is described. only 6 other cases are reported in the literature. multiple sites of origin of malignancy is suspected in this case. wide-spread bone metastases resulted in severe hypercalcemia. palliation was obtained for a short period following chemotherapy and adriamycin and bleomycin. autopsy studies showed metastatic tumor in almost all the organs of the body. | 1977 | 421191 |
| thrombin-stimulated cell division involves proteolysis of its cell surface receptor. | a cell-surface component of molecular weight 43,000 is cleaved by thrombin on cells that divide after thrombin treatment, but is not cleaved on cells that are unresponsive to its mitogenic action. studies with a photoreactive derivative of thrombin showed that its cell surface receptor has a molecular weight of 43,000. this indicates that thrombin must cleave its receptor to stimulate cell division. | 1977 | 431729 |

| quantitative measurements of cholera enterotoxin in cultures of toxinogenic wild-type and nontoxinogenic mutant strains of vibrio cholerae by using a sensitive and specific reversed passive hemagglutination assay for cholera enerotoxin. | a sensitive and specific reversed passive hemagglutination (rpha) assay for cholera enterotoxin has been developed. equine anti-choleragenoid antibodies purified by immunoadsorption were covalently coupled to formalinized sheep erythrocytes, using bis-diazotized benzidine, and the antitoxin-sensitized erythrocytes were shown to agglutinate specifically in the presence of cholera enterotoxin. in a microtiter rpha assay system, the smallest quantity of enterotoxin that caused hemagglutination was ... | 1978 | 624584 |
| suppression of pathogenicity by p and v plasmids in vibrio cholerae. | in experimental models of cholera, some strains of vibrio cholerae harbouring p or v or both plasmids were markedly less pathogenic than isogenic strains devoid of these plasmids. this effect was due to decreased production of toxin by p+, v+ or p+v+ bacteria compared with their parents. | 1978 | 632803 |
| effect of trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole on vibrio clearance in cholera (el tor): a comparative study. | the efficacy of trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (tmp-smx) has been compared with that of tetracycline and chloramphenicol in 175 bacteriologically confirmed cases of cholera admitted to the infectious diseases hospital delhi. vibrio cholerae, biotype el tor, serotype ogawa, were isolated from all the patients. tmp-smx showed greater in vitro inhibition and earlier eradication from the intestinal tract and is recommended as a suitable vibriocidal agent against cholera. | 1978 | 635974 |
| on the significance of sialic acid in high affinity 5-hydroxytryptamine uptake by synaptosomes. | synaptosomes isolated from rat brain cortex incorporated [14c]5-hydroxytryptamine at 37 degrees c with high affinity. an apparent transport constant of kt = 50nm was found. the high affinity uptake was decreased by treatment of synaptosomes with neuraminidase from vibrio cholerae or clostridium perfringens prior to incubation with [14c]5-hydroxytryptamine. the inhibition was related to the amount of sialic acid released, with a ki value of 3.5 micrometer. a non-competitive type of inhibition was ... | 1978 | 640586 |
| some interesting isolates from a diagnostic laboratory. | citrobacter koseri, plesiomonas shigelloides, edwardsiella tarda, yersinia enterocolitica, alkalescens dispar, vibrio parahaemolyticus, and vibrio alginolyticus were seven interesting microorganisms isolated recently in our diagnostic laboratory. | 1978 | 641196 |
| non-cholera vibrio infections in the united states. clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory features. | non-cholera vibrios are organisms that are biochemically indistinguishable from vibrio cholerae but do not agglutinate in vibrio 0 group 1 antiserum. since 1972 there has been a dramatic increase in the number of these organisms referred to the center for disease control for identification. clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory data were analyzed for 26 of 28 patients with isolates identified between january 1972 and march 1975. thirteen (50%) of the isolates were obtained from feces of patien ... | 1978 | 646241 |
| [morphological and immunomorphological changes in the intestines and regional lymph nodes of gnotobiotic rats--chronic carriers of vibrio cholerae el-tor]. | in the course of chronic carrier state of el-tor vibrio cholerae gnotobiotic rats develop an immunomorphological reaction in the mucous membranes of the small and large intestines, peter's patches, and mesenterial lymph nodes consisting in activation of reactive centers of follicles, hyperplasia of reticular cells, and an increase in the number of pyroninophilic plasma cells. the vibrio cholerae caused no pathological changes in enterocytes and other cells but its inoculation was accompanied by ... | 1978 | 646664 |

| motility of the pathogen and intestinal immunity of the host in experimental cholera. | 1) motility seems to be required for an intimate association with the intestinal mucosa which is necessary for efficient toxin delivery in the pathogenicity of v. cholerae. 2) a vaccine of semipurified flagella (cf) afforded a high degree of active and passive immunity in the rabbit ileum to both homologous and heterologous challenge strains. 3) the nature of the immunoglobulin type involved in the active immunity elicited by cf was not clear but preliminary indications implicate both s-iga and ... | 1978 | 742500 |
| inactivation of endogenous fsh by neuraminidase from vibrio cholerae. | counting experiments on ovary-slices of animals treated with neuraminidase from vibrio cholerae demonstrate that endogenous fsh is inactivated by the enzyme. comparisons with a zero-test group showed inhibition of antrum formation. | 1978 | 744182 |
| [study of vibrio cholerae fractions. ii. a comparison of the immunochemical and biological properties of preparations of alkaline extracts (vibrionin) and the endotoxin of vibrio cholerae]. | comparative study of immuno-chemical and biological properties of vibrionin and cholera vibrio endotoxin showed vibrionin to contain up to 73.5% of protein, whereas endotoxin preparations contained only 25% of protein. use of disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel permitted to determine the relative electrophoretic mobility of the protein component bands of both preparations. residual quantities of o-antigenic cholera vibrio determinants were revealed serologically in the vibrionin preparati ... | 1978 | 747006 |
| [study of vibrio cholerae fractions. iii. the gel chromatographic and immunochemical characteristics of vibrionin]. | three fractions differing by molecular weight (fraction 1--greater than 14 x 10(4)--less than 2 x 10(6) dalton, fraction 11--greater than 7 x 10(4)--less than 14 x 10(4) dalton, fraction iii--greater than l0(4) less 35 x 10(3) dalton) were isolated from vibrionin, a preparation of cholera allergen, by gel chromatography on sephadex g-150. these fractions possessed a different immunochemical activity and were capable of detecting the state of increased sensitivity to cholera vibrio. | 1978 | 747007 |
| [ultrastructure of the l forms of cholera and nag vibrios]. | ultrastructure of l-forms of cholera and nag-vibrios obtained under the effect of penicillin, tetracycline, in prolonged cultivations, and isolated from the external environment was studied. there proved to be no principal differences in their ultrastructural organization. cells of sphero- and protoplastic type were distinguished in the colonies. the presence in the cell cytoplasm of mesosomes of the lamellar, vesicular type, myelin-like structures, multiple ring-like formations liberated into e ... | 1978 | 747010 |
| [fertility and the crossing system in vibrio cholerae]. | a system of crossing of 2 biotypes of cholera strains and nonagglutinating vibrios was worked out by means of modified parker and romig's method. the most frequent inheritance of the sex factor was noted in conjugation of strains belonging to the classic biotype. inheritance of chromosomal genes (pur) was less incident. sex pili 9 to 10 nm in diameter were revealed in donor v. cholerae 569 (b) p+ strain. | 1978 | 747026 |
| mode of action of bacteriophage phi 149 on cholera and el tor vibrios. | bacteriophage phi 149 which was propagated in vibrio cholerae (classical) ogawa 154 strain, killed vibrio cholerae (el tor) strain mak 757 without phage propagation. el tor vibrios underwent a small degree of lysis only when infected by the phage phi 149 at a high multiplicity of infection and lost their viability at a rate-dependent multiplicity of phage infection. evidence was obtained with 32p-labelled bacteriophage phi 149 for penetration of phage dna into both bacterial strains. in host str ... | 1978 | 747818 |
