| factors affecting the survival of pathogenic bacteria in subtropical river water. | the present study was carried out to determine the factors causing the disappearance of introduced salmonella enteritidis, staphylococcus aureus, and vibrio cholerae in natural river water. when large numbers of the above organisms (final level 10(7)-10(8) cfu per ml) were added to river water, the decline of their numbers coincided with increasing numbers of protozoa. furthermore, their survival was improved dramatically if the river water was amended with a eucaryote inhibitor. after comparing ... | 1988 | 3058406 |
| in vitro and in situ survivals of bacterial populations added to fresh water environments. | the fate of aeromonas hydrophila, alcaligenes denitrificans, vibrio cholerae non-01, pseudomonas putida and four different isolates of escherichia coli in fresh river water were assessed by using different microcosms (i.e., membrane diffusion chamber and erlenmeyer flask). when water samples were incubated at 16 +/- 1 degrees c, the differences in extent of survival among test bacteria were in general not significant. if the incubation temperature was raised to 29 +/- 1 degrees c, in the in situ ... | 1993 | 7982366 |
| comparison of vibrio cholerae o1 isolates by polymerase chain reaction fingerprinting and ribotyping. | the rrna gene restriction patterns and the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) fingerprinting types of 53 vibrio cholerae o1 isolates were studied. five and eight patterns were observed from 27 toxigenic and 26 non-toxigenic o1 isolates after bgli cleavage. pcr fingerprinting with three primer sets aimed at enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (eric) sequences, eric-related sequences in v. cholerae, another kind of repeated sequences in v. cholerae (vcr) and arbitrary sequences divided th ... | 1997 | 9368535 |
| infections due to non-o1 vibrio cholerae in southern taiwan: predominance in cirrhotic patients. | although taiwan is not an area where cholera is endemic, from october 1988 to october 1997 30 episodes of non-o1, non-o139 vibrio cholerae infection were noted at the national cheng kung university hospital in taiwan. infections generally occurred in hot seasons, and two episodes were concomitant with vibrio vulnificus infection. three major clinical presentations were found: bacteremia with concurrent spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or invasive soft-tissue infections that occurred solely in c ... | 1998 | 9798033 |

| survey on the distribution of vibrionaceae at the seaport areas in taiwan, 1991-1994. | a monthly survey on the distribution of human-pathogenic vibrionaceae of the seawater from five principal harbors in taiwan was conducted by national quarantine service from july, 1991 to february, 1994. of the total 1,167 vibrionaceae isolates, strains of vibrio alginolyticus (449 strains) were the most frequently isolated, followed by vibrio parahaemolyticus (262) , aeromonas hydrophila (153), vibrio cholerae non-o1 (86), and vibrio vulnificus (67). none of vibrio cholerae o1 was isolated. the ... | 1996 | 10592802 |
| in vitro antimicrobial effect of cefazolin and cefotaxime combined with minocycline against vibrio cholerae non-o1 non-o139. | the most common clinical manifestation of vibrio cholerae non-o1 non-o139 is gastroenteritis. this vibrion may also cause bacteremia, soft tissue infection, and other extraintestinal invasive disease, especially in immunocompromised patients. this study evaluated the current status of antimicrobial resistance in clinical isolates of v. cholerae non-o1 non-o139 in taiwan as part of the smart (surveillance from multicenter antimicrobial resistance in taiwan) program. minimal inhibitory concentrati ... | 2005 | 16341343 |
| a legionellosis case due to contaminated spa water and confirmed by genomic identification in taiwan. | tracing the source of a legionellosis (lg) case revealed that the legionella pneumophila (lp) strain isolated from patient's sputum shared the same serogroup (sg) and pfge-type with 4 lp strains obtained from a spa center. with a high lp-contamination rate (81.2%, 13/16) in all of its 16 basins, this spa center was also found to have a multi-genotypic distribution among its 13 lp isolates, which can be categorized into 5 pfge-types. despite such a serious contamination in the spa center, which u ... | 2006 | 16714844 |
| clinical characteristics of non-o1/non-o139 vibrio cholerae isolates and polymerase chain reaction analysis of their virulence factors. | non-o1/non-o139 vibrio cholerae can cause invasive extraintestinal disease as well as enteritis. the pathogenesis of invasive non-o1/non-o139 v. cholerae infections remains to be determined. this study compared the clinical manifestations and predisposing factors between bacteremic and non-bacteremic non-o1/non-o139 v. cholerae infections and examined virulence-associated genes in the pathogenic strains causing invasive disease. | 2007 | 18087626 |
| foodborne disease outbreaks caused by sucrose-nonfermenting and beta-galactosidase-deficient variants of vibrio cholerae. | we reported four foodborne disease outbreaks in taiwan caused by sucrose-nonfermenting and by beta-galactosidase-deficient variants of non-o1, non-o139 vibrio cholerae. the sucrose-nonfermenting vibrios collected from three outbreaks were biochemically identified to be v. mimicus and the beta-galactosidase-deficient vibrios from an outbreak to be v. alginolyticus. however, molecular methods including dna-dna hybridization, fatty acid profile analysis, and sequence analysis of 16s rrna, oric, pyr ... | 2008 | 18164089 |

| occurrence of vibrio parahaemolyticus, vibrio cholerae, and vibrio vulnificus in the aquacultural environments of taiwan. | the occurrence of vibrio parahaemolyticus, vibrio vulnificus, and vibrio cholerae in a total of 72 samples from six aquaculture ponds for groupers, milk fish, and tilapia in southern taiwan was examined by the membrane filtration and colony hybridization method. the halophilic v. parahaemolyticus was only recovered in seawater ponds, with a high isolation frequency of 86.1% and a mean density of 2.6 log cfu/g. v. cholerae was found in both the seawater and freshwater ponds but preferentially in ... | 2015 | 25951392 |
