| correlation of an expanded direct fluorescent-antibody system with an established passive hemagglutination system for serogrouping strains of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli. | rabbits were inoculated with whole, formalinized cells from eight passive hemagglutination reference strains of campylobacter. fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled immunoglobulin g from these antisera defined seven new direct fluorescent-antibody serogroups of c. jejuni and one new serogroup of c. coli. this expanded the campylobacter direct fluorescent antibody system to include 17 serogroups of c. jejuni, 3 serogroups of c. coli, and 2 serogroups of c. fetus. we then compared the passive hemaggl ... | 1983 | 6358249 |
| evaluation of filters for recovery of campylobacter jejuni from water. | campylobacter jejuni has been incriminated in several large waterborne outbreaks, but it has rarely been isolated from water itself. better methodology is needed for the isolation of c. jejuni from water. we evaluated three types of 0.45-micron microporous filters and three different pore sizes of positively charged depth filters for their ability to recover c. jejuni from seeded, sterile tap and surface water. the microporous filters tested were millipore ha, gelman gn6, and zetapor. three pore ... | 1983 | 6360048 |
| is enrichment culture necessary for the isolation of campylobacter jejuni from faeces? | the role of enrichment culture for the isolation of campylobacter jejuni from faeces is discussed. it is concluded that enrichment culture is only necessary for those specimens where it is anticipated that the number of organisms is likely to be low. in a trial of a blood free enrichment broth (ccd broth) and the modified preston enrichment broth the latter gave significantly superior results. | 1983 | 6361073 |
| prospective study of diarrheal illnesses in northeastern brazil: patterns of disease, nutritional impact, etiologies, and risk factors. | diarrhea is a leading cause of death in tropical countries. one of the highest childhood mortalities is in northeastern brazil, where little is known about the morbidity, etiology, and risk factors of diarrhea. prospective village surveillance over 30 months revealed diarrhea attack rates of more than seven episodes per child-year at six to 11 months of age among the children of the poorest families. other risk factors included early weaning and the lack of toilets. diarrhea led to weight loss a ... | 1983 | 6361176 |
| survival of campylobacter jejuni in different media and faeces at different temperatures and times of preservation. | nineteen campylobacter jejuni strains survived best in suspensions with approximately 10(9) bacteria in 4% albumin solution at-60 degrees c for 17 months (18 out of 19). at the same temperature and during the same period they survived less well in milk (11 out of 19). recovery of campylobacters after 7 weeks was abundant in albumin, and somewhat less in milk. at -20 degrees c survival in milk was worse; 17 out of 19 cultures did not survive 5 weeks in milk and 7 died in albumin. at 4 degrees c a ... | 1983 | 6362314 |
| enteropathogen carriage by healthy individuals living in an area with poor sanitation. | faecal carriage of bacterial enteropathogens (enteropathogenic escherichia coli (epec), shigellae and salmonellae) was studied in 265 individuals: 65 infants 3-6 months of age (50 bottle-fed and 15 breast-fed), 100 school-age children 8-10 years of age and 100 adults 21-50 years of age. all were apparently healthy, did not have gastrointestinal symptoms, had not received antibiotics in the preceding fortnight and were not malnourished. enteropathogens were isolated from the faeces of 24 individu ... | 1983 | 6363528 |
| nucleic acids in the classification of campylobacters. | the importance of campylobacters in human disease has stimulated improvements in the methods for identification of strains from hospitals and the environment. reliable and accurate identification depends on a sound classification for which nucleic acid analyses provide fundamental information about species relationships. studies on the genus campylobacter show that the genome dna of species have base compositions of 29 to 38 mol% g + c and molecular weights of 1.54 x 10(9) to 2.31 x 10(9). campy ... | 1983 | 6194994 |
| water-borne outbreak of campylobacter gastroenteritis. | an outbreak of gastroenteritis affecting 234 pupils and 23 staff at a boarding school occurred over a period of 8 weeks. campylobacter spp. were isolated from pupils and staff, and from two samples of cold water taken from an open-topped storage tank which supplied predominantly unchlorinated water to the main school building. the two isolates from water were of the same serotype. this serotype was the commonest of the three serotypes of campylobacter jejuni detected in isolates from pupils and ... | 1983 | 6130305 |
| enteropathogenic agents in children with diarrhoea in rural zaire. | a systematic study of enteropathogenic agents in the stools of children was carried out in a rural area of kivu province in zaire in june, 1979. 84 inpatients and 271 outpatients with diarrhoea were investigated together with 117 inpatient and 203 outpatient controls without diarrhoea. campylobacter jejuni was the most frequently recovered pathogen in both inpatients (24%) and outpatients (13.7%). enterotoxigenic escherichia coli was the next most common among children presenting as outpatients ... | 1983 | 6131221 |
