[cytotoxin adhesion and invasiveness of campylobacter jejuni from children with diarrhea: assay and correlation with clinical manifestations].some potentially pathogenic properties have been identified for campylobacter jejuni in vitro. the cell-free filtrates of 42 strains, (28 isolated from clinical cases of diarrhea, 12 from domestic animals and 2 from healthy children) were investigated. 30 of the 42 were cytotoxin producers, and the strains from clinical cases were more frequent than those from other sources (p less than 0.05). meanwhile, 25 of the 42 strains exhibited adhesion and invasiveness with hela cell line in vitro. it is ...19892630022
glomerulonephritis, pulmonary hemorrhage and anemia associated with campylobacter jejuni infection.a 5-year-old girl suffered campylobacter jejuni enteritis. over the ensuing weeks she developed glomerulonephritis, pulmonary hemorrhage and anemia. renal biopsy revealed immune-complex mediated, crescentic glomerulonephritis. campylobacter jejuni antigen was identified in the glomeruli suggesting a causal role of campylobacter jejuni in the disease process.19892631667
application of a biotin-labelled dna probe to detect campylobacter.a procedure for direct detection of campylobacter in feces has been developed using a biotin-labelled dna probe. a species-specific probe (bio-pcj174 probe) for c. jejuni and a multivalent probe (bio-pooled probe) for the thermotolerant campylobacter species were developed with bio-11-dutp. both probes were used to detect campylobacter in 100 specimens of chicken feces. the coincidence rate of the results obtained by the bio-pooled probe and cultivation was 90% and that of the bio-pcj 174 probe ...19892631735
systemic spread of campylobacter jejuni after intravenous infections.mice were infected intravenously with campylobacter jejuni in order to study systemic translocation of this vibrio, as well as the interactions between bacteria and the host's defense mechanisms. it was found that granulocytes phagocyte c. jejuni in the bloodstream and that phagocytosis could be stimulated with lps-pretreatment or, less effectively, opsonizing antibodies. it could also be demonstrated that these circulating 'infected' granulocytes are eliminated from the bloodstream mostly by th ...19892631866
endotoxic activity and enterotoxigenicity of human strains of campylobacter jejuni isolated from patients in a nigerian hospital.limulus gelation assay and dermal schwartzman reaction provided a sensitive and reproducible means of testing the endotoxic activity of hospital strains of campylobacter jejuni in lagos, nigeria. all the 22 isolates of campylobacter jejuni tested for the limulus gelation assay were positive for the production of endotoxin. furthermore, the campylobacter suspensions caused a positive dermal schwartzman reaction in rabbits. the area of skin reaction was less extensive than that produced by escheri ...19892632005
antimicrobial activity of dactimicin in vitro compared with that of dibekacin, netilmicin, sisomicin and micronomicin.antimicrobial activity of dactimicin, a pseudo-disaccharide aminoglycoside antibiotic, was compared with those of dibekacin, netilmicin, sisomicin and micronomicin using clinical isolates of four gram-positive and sixteen gram-negative bacteria. dactimicin was more active than the reference amino-glycosides against serratia marcescens, especially gentamicin-resistant serratia sp., proteus vulgaris, p. rettgeri and klebsiella oxytoca, but less active against pseudomonas aeruginosa and p. mirabili ...19892632214
campylobacter diarrhea in children in trivandrum.one hundred and fifty two stool samples from patients belonging to the pediatric age group clinically diagnosed as acute diarrhea/dysentery were processed for thermophilic campylobacters. c. jejuni was isolated from 9 samples (5.9%). five of the c. jejuni isolates were from children who presented with bloody diarrhea and 4 were from those who had watery diarrhoea. though the pathogenic role of c. jejuni in these cases is not proved, this study indicates the prevalence of the organism in trivandr ...19892632438
bacterial and viral causes of acute diarrhoea in children in kuwait.bacterial and viral causes of acute diarrhoea were studied prospectively for one year in 343 hospitalised young children in kuwait. in 288 (84%) patients, one or more pathogens were identified compared with 12 of 86 (13.9%) children admitted with diseases other than diarrhoea (p less than 0.01). forty-four (12.9%) of the patients were infected with two or more pathogens. viral agents detected in the stools were rotaviruses (40.2%), enteric adenoviruses (1.7%), and enteroviruses (1.5%). enterobac ...19892632640
[frequency and characteristics of campylobacter jejuni-coli diarrhea in tunisia].because importance of campylobacter jejuni/coli in human disease, we studied frequency, clinical and biological symptoms of campylobacter enteritis. investigation has been realised on 216 cases of diarrhoea seen outside the hospital and aged from 4 days to 60 years, and 512 cases of hospitalised diarrhoea. outside the hospital, this bacteria has the same frequency as shigella and salmonella (3-5%). inside the hospital, it is rare. outside the hospital, this bacteria is isolated in babies and chi ...19892633873
[pathogenic agents in acute non-enterocolic diarrheal syndrome].along a one year period 112 infants admitted with non enterocolic acute diarrhea were studied for isolation of potentially ethiologic agents, namely enteropathogenic bacteria (salmonella, shigella, campylobacter, classic enteropathogenic, enteroinvasive and enterotoxigenic escherichia coli), rotavirus (viral rna electrophoresis) and enteroparasites (telemann and pafs). the most frequently identified pathogen was rotavirus (57.8%), followed by thermo labile toxin producing escherichia coli (19.7% ...19892634863

reflux gastritis.examination of biopsies from post-operative stomachs led to a realisation that a hitherto poorly documented histological picture was consistently found in patients with entero-gastric reflux. this "reflux gastritis" is characterized by foveolar hyperplasia, oedema and vasodilatation in the lamina propria, and a paucity of acute and chronic inflammatory cells. the severity of reflux gastritis is significantly related to high bile acid levels in fasting gastric juice and to a high ph-possibly refl ...19892637575
morphological evidence of campylobacter pylori pathogenicity in chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer.campylobacter pylori (cp) were found in 84% of 384 patients with chronic gastritis and in none of 49 subjects without inflammation. cp were present in similar percentages among patients with active (90%) or healed peptic ulcer (84%), as well as in non-ulcerous dyspepsia complicated by gastritis (91%). cytoplasmic vacuolization and swelling of foveolar-superficial cells with adhering bacteria, micropapillae and microerosions were commonly found in cp-infected mucosa. in 100 cases with gastritis b ...19892637577
simultaneous streptococcus pneumoniae, giardia lamblia and campylobacter pylori infection: an adult presentation of x-linked hypogammaglobulinaemia.primary x-linked (bruton's) hypogammaglobulinaemia is uncommon. it usually presents clinically within the first two years of life--typically after the age of three months when maternal igg is exhausted. its diagnosis in middle life is exceptional. the presentation of the condition as a triple infection in a middle-aged man therefore seemed worthwhile reporting, as effective and safe prophylactic immunotherapy is now available.19892638574
[serological diagnosis of campylobacter jejuni infections].antibody level to campylobacter in 28 sera of patients of whom campylobacter infection was confirmed by germ isolation from feces was tested. the investigation was performed using passive haemagglutination technique and as antigens heated and acid glycine extraction prepared from homologous and reference strains. for the method used the heated antigen proved to be superior. out of 28 tested patients of whom 92.8% were children, 8 sera were positive, 9 doubtful and 9, derived mainly from neonates ...19892640683
campylobacter pylori and peptic ulcer disease.campylobacter pylori is now known to be the most common and important cause of gastritis, and c. pylori infections have been associated with duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, nonulcer dyspepsia, and gastric cancer. although it has been only possible to culture c. pylori for about 5 yr, there are already sufficient data available to allow us to develop the basic framework that relates c. pylori gastritis to the causation of peptic ulcer disease. we review the data and propose mechanisms that implica ...19892642447
initial therapy and relapse of duodenal ulcer: possible acid secretory mechanisms.review of the four studies investigating the effect of initial therapy on ulcer relapse indicates that there is an increased rate of relapse after treatment with h2-receptor antagonists compared with placebo or other classes of drugs when combined. when individual drugs are considered, this appears to hold true for colloidal bismuth alone. there are several possible reasons for these differences. the most likely candidate mechanism to account for these differences is an alteration in gastric sec ...19892642449
monoclonal antibodies for specific immunoperoxidase detection of campylobacter pylori.monoclonal antibodies were raised against campylobacter pylori to detect the organism in clinical specimens by the immunoperoxidase technique. twenty-one hybridoma cultures obtained were screened on tissue sections of gastric mucosa to identify antibodies that did not cross-react with host cells. to select antibodies with high grade of specificity to c. pylori, hybridomas were also screened by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay against a wide panel of gram-negative bacteria. fifteen antibodies ...19892642876

14c-urea breath test as a method to detect campylobacter pylori colonization.campylobacter pylori may cause type b gastritis. c. pylori produces urease, and the presence of this enzyme in gastric mucosal biopsies is a marker for colonization with the microorganism. the value of a breath test to detect c. pylori colonization in non-ulcer dyspepsia patients was investigated. we compared the 14c-urea breath test with the culture results obtained from antral mucosal biopsies. the 14c-urea breath test is comparable to culture results in detecting c. pylori colonization.19892663597

biotyping of campylobacter pylori.ninety-one biochemical tests were done on each of 50 strains of campylobacter pylori isolated from the gastric mucosa of patients with gastritis and peptic ulcers in singapore. the api zym system distinguished three biotypes of c. pylori. the organism was found to be biochemically different from c. jejuni and c. coli. we propose a biochemical identification kit that would be of use in identifying and differentiating biotypes of c. pylori, and would distinguish them from c. jejuni and c. coli.19892664183
[susceptibilities of clinical isolates to antibacterial agents. a study mainly focused on ofloxacin (the second report). reported by the research group for testing ofloxacin susceptibility on clinical isolates].susceptibilities of various clinical isolates to ofloxacin (oflx) and other antibacterial drugs were examined at 128 hospital laboratories in 36 prefectures throughout japan between april, 1986 and march, 1987. the results were totalized with an emphasis mainly on oflx and were compared with data obtained in the previous year. in this study, identification and susceptibility tests of the isolates were carried out at each hospital laboratory and the tests were performed according to the 1-dilutio ...19892664255
[the significance of campylobacter pylori infection in gastroenterologic and diabetic practice].the presence of campylobacter pylori was investigated in gastric antral biopsy specimens. in 50 consecutive patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy microbiological cultures, histological examination and rapid urease test were parallel performed, and a 92 per cent sensitivity and 100 per cent specificity of rapid and cheap urease test were determined. afterwards--in a prospective study--311 patients were examined for c. p. by the rapid urease test only. c. p. was detected in 92 ...19892664637
acute diarrhea in children.acute diarrhea is a common problem in children. understanding the different pathologic processes that cause diarrhea, and the agents that are associated with those processes, can aid the clinician in predicting the etiology of the diarrhea in an individual patient. small bowel involvement, most commonly caused by rotavirus, produces a high incidence of vomiting, often before the onset of diarrhea, and large, watery, and relatively infrequent stools. large bowel involvement, usually due to campyl ...19892664748
[neurologic involvement in campylobacter infections. 5 cases].campylobacter are a newly recognized class of human infectious agents. campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus is a cause of sepsis in immunocompromized hosts. secondary neurological determinations, meningitis and meningoencephalitis appear to be rare. we report 2 cases, and 8 previously reported cases are reviewed. campylobacter jejuni appears to be a common bacterial pathogen causing a syndrome of enteritis. since 1982 it has been associated with guillain-barré syndrome (gbs). in one serological ...19892664975
campylobacter pylori: swedish experiences.all patients referred for gastroscopy were investigated by campylobacter pylori culture and antibody titration. an enzyme immunoassay was developed and found to have a negative predictive value of 0.997, which indicates that serologic tests could be used for screening of patients before gastroscopy. a close correlation was found between active and inactive duodenal and gastric ulcer and positive c. pylori culture. small open treatment trials with the antibiotics doxycycline, tinidazole, amoxycil ...19892665049
review of the modes of action of colloidal bismuth subcitrate.in recent years considerable progress has been made to elucidate the modes of action of colloidal bismuth subcitrate (cbs). cbs accelerates the healing of experimental chronic ulcers in rats by the formation of occlusive complexes and/or the accumulation of epidermal growth factor (egf) in the ulcer crater. cbs exhibits gastric protection (cytoprotection) against, for example, ethanol lesions. microscopic analysis of these lesions reveals that cbs protects against deep mucosal necrosis but not s ...19892665050
the role of campylobacter pylori in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer disease.most patients with peptic ulceration have chronic gastritis, which typically involves predominantly the antrum. the association between campylobacter pylori-associated gastritis and peptic ulceration has recently been repeatedly demonstrated. evidence is accumulating that the bacterium plays a causal role in type-b chronic gastritis. c. pylori also colonizes the duodenum when gastric metaplasia is present. it is likely that the inflamed mucosa is more susceptible to ulcerogenic influences affect ...19892665051
rapid method to detect shiga toxin and shiga-like toxin i based on binding to globotriosyl ceramide (gb3), their natural receptor.shiga toxin and the closely related shiga-like toxins produced by escherichia coli represent a group of very similar cytotoxins that may play an important role in diarrheal disease and hemolytic uremic syndrome. these toxins have the same biologic activities and according to recent studies also share the same binding receptor, globotriosyl ceramide (gb3). they are currently detected, on the basis of their ability to damage several cell lines, by using expensive and tedious assays that require fa ...19892666433
etiology of childhood diarrhea in korea.to assess the role of recently recognized enteropathogens in childhood diarrhea in korea, 231 children with diarrhea admitted to and 104 children without diarrhea seen at the well-baby clinic or the outpatient department of hanyang university hospital in seoul, korea, were evaluated during a 14-month period. stools were cultured for bacterial pathogens, including enterotoxigenic (heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxin-producing) and enteroadherent organisms. only those stools obtained from pati ...19892666437
