| viruses and bacteria in pediatric diarrhea in thailand: a study of multiple antibiotic-resistant enteric pathogens. | children with diarrhea admitted to a rehydration ward of a children's hospital in bangkok were investigated to determine the prevalence of enteric pathogens, the extent of children's previous antibiotic therapy, and the frequency of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance among infecting bacteria. rotavirus (36%), enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (18%), shigella (9%), salmonella (6%), campylobacter jejuni/coli (4%), and vibrio cholerae (2%) infections were among 105 children with diarrhea. antibi ... | 1981 | 6275727 |
| cholera-like illness due to aeromonas sobria. | a thai woman from bangkok was admitted to a hospital in paris for a cholera-like illness. a culture of her "rice-water" diarrhea was negative for vibrio cholerae and enterotoxigenic escherichia coli but was positive for aeromonas sobria. this strain produced enterotoxin, cytolysin, proteolysin, hemolysin, and a cell-rounding factor. acute -and convalescent-phase sera showed an increase in neutralizing antibodies to enterotoxin, cytolysin, and hemolysin. the enterotoxin, which was labile at 100 c ... | 1982 | 7054327 |

| antibiotic prescription for adults with acute diarrhea at king chulalongkorn memorial hospital, thailand. | in thailand, acute diarrhea is one of the most common problems among ambulatory patients at the outpatient department (opd). overuse of antibiotics is associated with increased rates of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, unnecessary increased cost of treatment, and significant incidence of adverse effects. in thailand, how frequently antibiotic is prescribed in adult patients with acute diarrhea is not known. | 2011 | 21675442 |
| an acute gastroenteritis outbreak of vibrio parahaemolyticus o4:k55 in nursing college, thailand. | a cluster of acute gastroenteritis among nursing students was noticed on 13th september 2005. between 13th and 17th september 2005, a retrospective cohort study was then conducted to identify the most likely cause of gastroenteritis at a nursing college in bangkok, thailand. self-administered questionnaires, interviews, environmental investigations, and rectal swabs from all participants were carried out. in the investigation, 98.9% female nursing students were investigated and had completed the ... | 2010 | 20962724 |
| a high proportion of vibrio cholerae strains isolated from children with diarrhoea in bangkok, thailand are multiple antibiotic resistant and belong to heterogenous non-o1, non-o139 o-serotypes. | results of a surveillance on cholera conducted with patients seen at the children hospital in bangkok, thailand from august 1993 to july 1995 are presented. annually, isolation rates for vibrio cholerae varied between 1.7 and 4.4% of patients with diarrhoea. v. cholerae o1 serotype ogawa accounted for between 31 and 47% of patients cultured positive for v. cholerae, whereas the o139 serotype dominated in early 1994 after which it disappeared. non-o1, non-0139 strains were isolated at similar rat ... | 1999 | 10355785 |
| phenotypic and molecular characterization of vibrio cholerae o1 isolated in samutsakorn, thailand before, during and after the emergence of v. cholerae o139. | seventy clinical strains of vibrio cholerae o1 isolated from 1982-96 in samutsakorn, a port city 30 km southwest of bangkok where cholera occurs at low levels with regular seasonality, were characterized to investigate if there were any differences among the o1 strains isolated before, during and after the 0139 epidemic. pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) typing, ribotyping and southern blot hybridization with a cholera toxin probe (ct genotyping) demonstrated several genotypes among o1 str ... | 1998 | 9825775 |
| epidemiologic study of vibrio cholerae o1 and o139 in thailand: at the advancing edge of the eighth pandemic. | vibrio cholerae o139 bengal emerged on the indian subcontinent in late 1992 and was first recognized in thailand in 1993. to characterize the epidemiology of this disease, a hospital-based case-control study was conducted in samutsakorn, a port city 30 km southwest of bangkok. between november 15, 1993, and june 3, 1994, 366 patients were confirmed to have cholera by culture, including 165 (45%) with o139 bengal, 191 (52%) with o1 ogawa, and 10 (3%) with both serogroups. during the same time per ... | 1996 | 8561160 |
