| [bacteriological and virological studies on the cause of sporadic acute gastroenteritis in tama, tokyo (1991-1996)]. | between may 1991 and december 1996, bacteriological and virological investigations on the fecal samples from patient of infantile diarrhea (155 cases), or infectious gastroenteritis (1,409 cases) diagnosed with 9 medical institutions in tama of tokyo were carried out. of 1,564 samples, 722 (46.2%) were enteropathogen positive cases, and mixed infection was also observed in about 15% of the positive cases. among 13 different kinds of enteropathogens identified, the most prevalent one was pathogen ... | 1998 | 9695470 |
| multiple-locus variable-number of tandem-repeats analysis distinguishes vibrio parahaemolyticus pandemic o3:k6 strains. | a specific serotype of vibrio parahaemolyticus, o3:k6, has recently been linked to epidemics of gastroenteritis in southeast asia, japan, and north america. these pandemic o3:k6 strains appear to have recently spread across continents from a single origin to reach global coverage, based on profiling of strains by several molecular typing methods. in this study, variable-number tandem repeats (vntr)-based fingerprinting was applied to clinical and environmental v. parahaemolyticus o3:k6 strains i ... | 2008 | 18258320 |

| distribution and significance of heterotrophic marine bacteria with antibacterial activity. | bacteria with antibacterial activity were isolated from seawater, sediments, phytoplankton, and zooplankton of suruga, sagami, and tokyo bays and from soft corals and sponges collected from the taiwan coast. of the 726 strains isolated, 37 showed antibacterial activity against either vibrio parahaemolyticus (atcc 17802) or staphylococcus aureus (p209). sediment harbored the lowest number of these forms of bacteria, and those from tokyo bay did not show any activity. attached isolates showed grea ... | 1987 | 3435149 |
| [the trends of vibrio parahaemolyticus foodborne outbreaks in tokyo: 1989-2000]. | the total number of foodborne outbreaks due to vibrio parahaemolyticus in tokyo during the last 12 years between 1989 and 2000 were 710. the number of outbreaks in a year was 55 in 1989, 75 in 1990, and there was a gradual decrease to 24 outbreaks in 1993 which was the smallest number during those 12 years. after 1994, the number of outbreaks increased dramatically year by year until 1998 (107 outbreaks). then they had decreased slightly to 74 in 1999, 65 in 2000. the monthly incidence of v. par ... | 2001 | 11494566 |
