| phage typing, biotyping & antimicrobial resistance profile of salmonella enterica serotype typhi from kolkata. | kolkata and its suburbs in eastern india are known to be endemic for typhoid fever. the objective of this study was to determine phage types, biotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns of salmonella enterica serotype typhi isolated during the period 2003-2005 from a prospective surveillance for typhoid fever in two urban slums in kolkata. | 2007 | 17642505 |
| a prospective study of phage types & biotypes of salmonella enterica serotype typhi isolated from hospitalized children in kolkata, india. | kolkata and its suburbs in eastern india faced an epidemic of typhoid fever in 1990. a prospective, hospital and laboratory based study over a period of 12 yr (1990-2001), on the phage typing and biotyping pattern of salmonella enterica serotype typhi was carried out, to see if there has been a change. | 2003 | 14609047 |
| decreasing trend in the occurrence of salmonella enterica serotype typhi amongst hospitalised children in kolkata, india during 1990-2000. | in a prospective hospital based surveillance, 1454 children clinically diagnosed as typhoid fever were enrolled during the period between 1990 to 2000. of them 336 (23.1%) children were positive for salmonella enterica serotype typhi by blood culture. a declining trend of hospitalization and identification of the pathogen was observed from 1992 to 2000 as compared to 1990-1991. a declining trend of resistance to the commonly used anti-typhoid drugs was seen in the s. enterica serotype typhi isol ... | 2002 | 12138663 |
| increasing prevalence of salmonella enterica serotype paratyphi-a in patients with enteric fever in a periurban slum setting of kolkata, india. | a sudden rise in the occurrence of salmonella enterica serotype paratyphi-a (spta) was noted in a longitudinal community-based study in kolkata, india, during 2004 - 2005. we compared the incidence rate of salmonella enterica serotype typhi (st) and spta and their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. rate of isolation of spta was 1.5 times higher than that of st, a trend detected for the first time in that particular focus. almost all the isolates were sensitive to gentamycin and norfloxacin. m ... | 2006 | 17164172 |

| antibiotic resistance of salmonella enterica serovar paratyphi a in india: emerging and reemerging problem. | antibiotic resistance pattern and r-plasmid of salmonella enterica serovar paratyphi a isolates from kolkata, india are not well documented. | 2006 | 16855314 |
| the malaria and typhoid fever burden in the slums of kolkata, india: data from a prospective community-based study. | recent research has indicated that the malaria burden in asia may have been vastly underestimated. we conducted a prospective community-based study in an impoverished urban site in kolkata, india, to estimate the burden of malaria and typhoid fever and to identify risk factors for these diseases. in a population of 60452 people, 3605 fever episodes were detected over a 12-month period. the blood films of 93 febrile patients contained plasmodium (90 p. vivax, 2 p. falciparum and 1 p. malariae). b ... | 2006 | 16455118 |
| development of a bead immunoassay to measure vi polysaccharide-specific serum igg after vaccination with the salmonella enterica serovar typhi vi polysaccharide. | vi polysaccharide from salmonella enterica serotype typhi is used as one of the available vaccines to prevent typhoid fever. measurement of vi-specific serum antibodies after vaccination with vi polysaccharide by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) may be complicated due to poor binding of the vi polysaccharide to elisa plates resulting in poor reproducibility of measured antibody responses. we chemically conjugated vi polysaccharide to fluorescent beads and performed studies to determine ... | 2010 | 20107010 |
| a typhoid fever outbreak in a slum of south dumdum municipality, west bengal, india, 2007: evidence for foodborne and waterborne transmission. | in april 2007, a slum of south dumdum municipality, west bengal reported an increase in fever cases. we investigated to identify the agent, the source and to propose recommendations. | 2009 | 19397806 |
