| infectious colitis endoscopically simulating inflammatory bowel disease: a prospective evaluation. | this prospective evaluation of patients presenting with mucoid bloody diarrhea and suspected idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease demonstrated a 38% incidence of infectious colitides. the infectious agents detected were campylobacter, salmonella, shigella, amoeba, and clostridium difficile. an increased awareness and the utilization of selective culture media should allow the clinician to definitively diagnose patients who present with signs and symptoms suggestive of idiopathic inflammatory bo ... | 1983 | 6618115 |
| faecal leucocytes in patients with infectious diarrhoea. | the value of faecal leucocyte examination was assessed in 376 hospital in-patients with acute diarrhoea. comparison was made with 50 controls. all faecal samples were examined for bacteria, viruses and parasites. 91% of diarrhoeal cases caused by shigella had faecal leucocytes. similar findings were obtained from cases infected by campylobacter or salmonella. in contrast, those diarrhoeal cases due to viruses, parasites or bacterial toxins were not associated with faecal leucocytes. the test is ... | 1983 | 6623587 |
| acute diarrhoea associated with rotavirus among children living in belém, brazil. | between january 1979 and december 1980, rotaviruses were detected in faecal samples from 122 (33.1%) of 369 diarrhoeic children less than six years old, living in belém, brazil. in 55 (45.1%) of the 122 rotavirus-positive specimens, no bacteria or parasite associated with gastro-enteritis was found. salmonella typhimurium, shigella and escherichia coli were found in 92 (35%) of the 263 faecal specimens examined for bacterial pathogens. rotaviruses were readily detected throughout the year, which ... | 1983 | 6623597 |
| [fatty acid composition of the lipopolysaccharides of bacteria in the genera escherichia, shigella and salmonella as a taxonomic trait]. | the comparative study of the fatty acid composition of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (lps) in the genera escherichia, shigella, salmonella has been carried out under identical experimental conditions. the lps of the bacteria under study have been found to contain a number of saturated fatty acids and oxyacids which could not be previously detected in these bacteria in other studies. in all bacterial strains under study lps include mainly 3-oxytetradecanoic, tetradecanoic and dodecanoic fatty aci ... | 1983 | 6624310 |
| conjugal transferability of multiple resistance in shigella strains. | shigella strains isolated in japan between 1971 and 1979 were surveyed for drug resistance and distribution of r plasmids. of 2,510 strains, 89.3% were resistant to either one or various combinations of four drugs, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, and sulfanilamide. about 66% of the shigella isolates were quadruply resistant. the frequency of isolation of r plasmids from quadruply resistant shigella strains was the highest when compared with other strains resistant to various combina ... | 1983 | 6633298 |
| isolation and characterization of campylobacter jejuni from acute diarrhoeal cases in calcutta. | during a seven-month survey, campylobacter jejuni was isolated from 9.6% of the 116 acute diarrhoeal cases admitted to the infectious diseases hospital, calcutta. in six of the 11 cases, c. jejuni occurred together with v. cholerae biotype el tor (ogawa) while in one case it was found in association with shigella sonnei. no age or sex specific incidence was observed. a distinct clinical profile in cases suffering from campylobacter enteritis was not discernible. biochemically all strains isolate ... | 1983 | 6636274 |
| campylobacter jejuni enteritis in honolulu, hawaii. | the incidence of campylobacter jejuni in patients with acute diarrhoea was studied in honolulu, hawaii. c. jejuni was recovered from 8.7% of diarrhoeal stools, compared to isolation rates of 4.2% for salmonella and 3.8% for shigella. c. jejuni occurred mainly in the summer and autumn, and in all age and racial groups. there was a significantly higher incidence of abdominal pain, fever history, bloody stools and faecal leucocytes in patients with campylobacter enteritis. | 1983 | 6636278 |
| enteric fever in patients admitted to a diarrhoeal disease hospital in bangladesh. | the hospital records of 62 patients with blood culture-proven enteric fever admitted to the dacca hospital of the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh, over a one-year period were reviewed. older children and young adults had the highest age-specific rates of disease. the clinical, epidemiological and laboratory features of patients with enteric fever were compared with similar information from patients in hospital for cholera and shigellosis. patients with enteric fe ... | 1983 | 6636284 |
| symptomatic and asymptomatic rotavirus infections in hospitalized children. | during one year, 871 infants and children admitted to a dutch paediatric ward were examined weekly for rotavirus. rotavirus was detected in the stools of 64/129 (49.6%) children with diarrhoea and in 283/742 (38.1%) controls. the incidence of asymptomatic rotavirus excretors increased from 14.5% in infants 0 to 6 months of age to 65.8% in children of 6 years and over, a feature not yet reported. possible explanations may be the methodology used, the age groups studied, the local hospital (and co ... | 1983 | 6637464 |
| transmission dynamics of enteric bacteria in day-care centers. | the role of fomites in the transmission of diarrhea in day-care centers was evaluated. during a nine-month period (december 1980-august 1981), inanimate objects and hands of children and staff in five houston day-care centers were cultured monthly and again during outbreaks of diarrhea. air was sampled from the classrooms and bathrooms using a single-stage sieve sampler. when a diarrhea outbreak occurred, stool specimens were collected from ill and well children and from staff in the affected ro ... | 1983 | 6637983 |

| antibody-dependent cell-mediated antibacterial activity of intestinal lymphocytes with secretory iga. | secretory antibodies of the iga class (siga) are thought to have an important role in the defence against bacteria at mucosal surfaces--the level at which the infectious agents first come into contact with the host. however, the mechanism by which siga exert their antibacterial activity is still a matter of debate. after the recent discovery of receptors for the fc portion of iga (rfc alpha) on lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes of human, rabbit, guinea pig and mouse origin, it has been hyp ... | 1983 | 6646200 |
| comparative in vitro activities of ten antimicrobial agents against bacterial enteropathogens. | the in vitro susceptibilities of 50 strains of salmonella spp., 80 strains of shigella spp., and 50 enterotoxigenic escherichia coli, 14 yersinia enterocolitica, 6 aeromonas hydrophila, 4 plesiomonas shigelloides, 9 vibrio parahaemolyticus, and 30 campylobacter jejuni strains that were recently isolated from worldwide sources were determined for 10 antimicrobial agents. the antimicrobial agents tested included ampicillin, bicozamycin, doxycycline, enoxacin (ci-919), erythromycin, furazolidone, a ... | 1983 | 6651278 |

| [intestinal bacteria incriminated in reactive arthritis]. | amongst the numerous microbial species which constitute the intestinal flora, three bacteria belonging to the family of enterobacteria have been incriminated in cases of reactive arthritis: the salmonellae, the shigellae and the klebsiellae. these bacteria are easy to isolate and identify, but they are difficult to classify because of the multiplicity of serotypes and species. the participation of these bacteria in reactive arthritis is far from being clear: their isolation does not always have ... | 1983 | 6665498 |
