| enteropathogenicity of vibrio parahaemolyticus in the ligated rabbit ileum. | the enteropathogenicity of vibrio parahaemolyticus was investigated by contrasting the effects of whole cells, cell fragments, cell-free preparations, and media constituents injected into rabbit ileal loops. three of 20 cultures utilized were kanagawa-negative strains from seawater and sea fish. the remaining 17 cultures included both kanagawa-positive and -negative strains from japanese victims of gastroenteritis. broth culture filtrates concentrated 10-fold by dialysis against 30% carbowax wer ... | 1977 | 836019 |
| [vibrio parahaemolyticus in mussels and in silt in the southern central baltic sea (author's transl)]. | because the previous studies of 541 fish of the southern central baltic sea area gave negative results for the presence of vibrio parahaemolyticus, 150 shellfish and 40 mud samples of the same origin were tested this time. in none of them presence of vibrio parahaemolyticus nor vibrio alginolyticus has been stated, though. | 1977 | 842182 |
| sucrose teepol tellurite agar: a new selective indicator medium for isolation of vibrio species. | sucrose teepol tellurite (stt) agar is a more successful medium in positive-recognition palting procedures than thiosulfate-citrate-bile salts-sucrose (tcbs) agar because stt agar yields higher isolation of typical colonies of vibrio cholerae, which directly agglutinate in antiserum to v. cholerae, from patients and contacts infected with this organism. stt agar has a simple composition and, like tcbs agar, needs no sterilization. stt agar is highly selective for v. cholerae, nonagglutinating vi ... | 1977 | 856920 |
| effect of hemolysin produced by vibrio parahaemolyticus on membrane conductance and mechanical tension of rabbit myocardium. | the mechanisms of the action of hemolysin extracted from vibrio parahaemolyticus in the s-a node and right atrium cells of rabbit were studied by means of the single sucrose gap and isometric tension recording methods. hemolysin caused the membrane to depolarize reversibly without affecting the action potential generating mechanism. lowering of [na+]o inhibited membrane depolarization in the presence of hemolysin while the readmission of normal tyrode solution induced depolarization. tetrodotoxi ... | 1977 | 864869 |

| the isolation and characterization of some vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from salted herring and roe. | 390 food samples (frozen, kippered herring, salted roe, fresh carp and salted ham) were investigated for the presence of vibrio parahaemolyticus. 8 v. parahaemolyticus strains were isolated from herring (6.2%) and roe samples (1.3%). some biochemical characteristics are discussed. in food borne outbreaks, presence of v. parahaemolyticus must be investigated, especially when the epidemiologically incriminated food is fish or fish products. | 1977 | 899374 |
| in vitro adherence of kanagawa-positive vibrio parahaemolyticus to epithelial cells. | kanagawa-positive vibrio parahaemolyticus adhered rapidly to suspension-grown hela cells and to human fetal intestinal (hfi) cells in monolayer. kanagawa-negative v. parahaemolyticus did not adhere to hela cells and adhered to hfi cells at a much slower rate than kanagawa-positive bacteria. in the hfi cell system, adherence was dependent on the presence of calcium in the incubation mixture. it was unaffected by pretreatment of the hfi cell monolayer with neuraminidase or potassium periodate. adh ... | 1977 | 908855 |

| demonstration of agglutinating antibodies against vibrio parahaemolyticus in the yellow tail flounder (limanda ferruginea). | sera from the salt water fish (yellow tail flounder) and the fresh water fish (rainbow trout) were tested for the presence of circulating antibodies against nine strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus and one of v. alginolyticus. thirteen out of 26 flounder sera tested gave agglutinating reactions against one specific strain of v. parahaemolyticus; strain no. 3525. seven rainbow trout sera tested failed to agglutinate any of the strains tested. all agglutinating activity was lost upon boiling the an ... | 1976 | 931748 |
| butandioldehydrogenase in vibrio parahaemolyticus. | 396 strains of v. parahaemolyticus, 345 originating from togo and 51 from japan, were submitted to the study of butandiol dehydrogenase (bdh). it was found that 52.3% of the strains were bdh-positive and 44.2% bdh-negative. an intermediate group characterized by weak reactions amounted to 3.5% of the strains. the distribution of this enzyme parallels to a certain degree the results of serotyping. positive reactions have been found in all or most strains belonging to serotypes 03k29, o4k8, 04k12, ... | 1976 | 934022 |
