| enteropathogenic bacteria and enterotoxin-producing staphylococcus aureus isolated from ready-to-eat foods in khon kaen, thailand. | the objective of this study was to investigate the microbiological quality of ready-to-eat food in the municipality of khon kaen, thailand. four categories of 186 food samples were collected: (1) high heat food; (2) low heat food; (3) no heat food; and, 4) on-site prepared fruit juices and beverages. of the food samples, 145 (78%) failed to meet acceptable microbiological standards, including fruit juice and beverages (100%), no heat food (91.7%), low heat food (81.7%) and high heat food (57.9%) ... | 2006 | 17333744 |
| application of duplex-pcr in rapid and reliable detection of toxigenic vibrio cholerae in water samples in thailand. | toxigenic vibrio cholerae, the cause of cholera, is a native flora of the aquatic environment which is transmitted through drinking water and still remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many developing countries including thailand. the culture method (cm), which is routinely used for assessing water quality, has not proven as efficient as molecular methods because the notorious pathogen survives in water mostly in a non-culturable state. we employed duplex-polymerase chain reac ... | 2007 | 17878662 |
| molecular analysis and antimicrobial resistance of vibrio cholerae o1 in northeastern thailand. | a total of 84 clinical vibrio cholerae o1 isolates were collected from khon kaen (kk), udon thani (ut), loei (li), and nong khai (nk), northeastern thailand during cholera outbreaks in 2007 and 2008. the majority of v. cholerae o1 strains carried nearly all the virulence-associated genes (ctxa, zot, and ace) except for four isolates and one isolate from ut and nk, respectively, which carried only tcpa, ompu, hlya and toxr. none of the v. cholerae o1 strains carried sto. pulsed field gel-electrop ... | 2012 | 23413707 |
| genotype and drug resistance of clinical and environmental vibrio cholerae non-o1/non-o139 in northeastern thailand. | a total of 124 v cholerae non-o1/non-o139 isolates were collected in khon kaen, thailand from diarrheal patients, asymptomatic carriers and environmental water. the presence of virulence-associated and regulatory genes including ctxa, tcpa, zot, ace, ompu, stn, hlya and toxr) were examined using multiplex pcr. the genomic diversity of the various v. cholerae isolates were differentiated using the random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) method. antimicrobial susceptibility was tested using disk d ... | 2014 | 26466421 |
| drug response and genetic properties of vibrio cholerae associated with endemic cholera in north-eastern thailand, 2003-2011. | cholera, caused by vibrio cholerae, results in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, including thailand. representative v. cholerae strains associated with endemic cholera (n = 32), including strains (n = 3) from surface water sources, in khon kaen, thailand (2003-2011), were subjected to microbiological, molecular and phylogenetic analyses. according to phenotypic and related genetic data, all tested v. cholerae strains belonged to serogroup o1, biotype el tor (et), inaba (in) or ogawa ... | 2013 | 23319310 |
