serotypes of campylobacter jejuni isolated from patients attending a diarrhoeal disease hospital in urban bangladesh.the serotypes of strains of campylobacter jejuni isolated from patients attending the international center for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh (icddr, b), dhaka, and from animals were ascertained by penner and hennessy's (1980) serotyping scheme. of 102 isolates from man, 74% were typable and serotypes 53, 15 and 22 predominated. of 26 isolates from animals, 65% were typable and serotypes 15 and 53 occurred frequently. the diarrhoeal illnesses associated with different serotypes were sim ...19873694663

antigen profile of helicobacter pylori strains isolated from peptic ulcer patients in dhaka, bangladesh.the whole-cell-extract and the acid-extract preparations of helicobacter pylori strains isolated from peptic ulcer patients and the nctc 11638 control strain were studied to compare their antigen profiles. besides, the anti-h. pylori-antibody profile in serum from h. pylori-infected peptic ulcer patients were also studied to define the antigen stimulating specific anti-h. pylori-antibody response in the infected patients. the whole-cell extract (wce) and the acid-extract (ae) preparations showed ...19938031286
case-control study of enteropathogens associated with childhood diarrhea in dhaka, bangladesh.the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh, is a major center for research into diarrheal diseases. the center treats more than 100,000 patients a year. to obtain useful information representative of all patients, a surveillance system in which a 4% systematic sample of all patients is studied in detail, including etiological agents of diarrhea, was installed in october 1979. the first paper on etiology for the surveillance patients was published in 1982, which identifi ...199910523534
