| disease threats to the endangered iberian lynx (lynx pardinus). | the iberian lynx, (lynx pardinus), is the most endangered felid in the world. to determine whether sympatric carnivores are reservoirs of pathogens posing a disease risk for the lynx, evidence of exposure to 17 viral, bacterial and protozoan agents was investigated in 176 carnivores comprising 26 free-living lynx, 53 domestic cats, 28 dogs, 33 red foxes (vulpes vulpes), 24 egyptian mongooses (herpestes ichneumon), 10 common genets (genetta genetta) and 2 eurasian badgers (meles meles) in the are ... | 2009 | 18555712 |
| evaluation of food handler practices and microbiological status of ready-to-eat foods in long-term care facilities in the andalusia region of spain. | food safety measures in long-term care facilities (ltcfs) are being improved by the introduction of quality control management systems during food production and by the implementation of good manufacturing practices. this study was conducted in ltcfs (geriatric homes) in andalusia, spain, during 2008 and 2009 to evaluate sanitary conditions and the microbiological quality and safety of salads and cooked meat products served. a regulation-based checklist was applied to the evaluated centers. samp ... | 2011 | 21902920 |
| detection of enterovirulent escherichia coli associated with diarrhoea in seville, southern spain, with non-radioactive dna probes. | to assess the role of diarrhoeagenic escherichia coli in southern spain, faecal samples from 135 patients with diarrhoea and 40 healthy subjects from seville, andalusia, were investigated. in this prospective study, enterovirulent e. coli were identified by hybridisation with five non-radioactive dna probes specific for enterotoxigenic e. coli (etec), enteropathogenic e. coli (epec) and verocytotoxin-producing e. coli (vtec). probe-positive strains were isolated from four patients (3%) with diar ... | 1993 | 8429544 |
| [etiological research on acute gastroenteritis in the city of cádiz]. | we researched the microbial etiology of 5,836 diarrheal processes in outpatients and inpatients at the social security hospital in cádiz, for the purpose of evaluating their microbiological and epidemiological characteristics. bacterial gastroenteritis accounted for 51.6% of the cases, while 31.7% were viral and 16.6% were protozoal in origin. salmonella enterica (35.6%) is the most frequently involved microorganism, especially in the summer, followed very closely by rotavirus (31.7%). the incid ... | 1990 | 2129735 |
| [molecular epidemiology of salmonella enterica poisoning: correlation of the serotype and protein profile and plasmid dna analysis]. | food-borne diseases nosocomial outbreaks due to salmonella enterica strains have a high incidence nowadays. we describe here an outbreak that occurred in july 1990 in the malaga university hospital, that only involves one shift of health care workers. salmonella enterica was detected in stool samples from hcw and a first analysis revealed the presence of two different antibiotic susceptibility patterns (resistotypes) among isolated strains. two months after the outbreak started, the cnvis (majad ... | 1992 | 1391014 |
| surveillance and antimicrobial resistance of salmonella strains isolated from slaughtered pigs in spain. | the prevalence of and the antibiotic resistance shown by salmonella isolated from pigs in andalusia (southern spain) is reported. salmonella enterica was recovered from 40 (33%) of 121 sampled herds, and a total of 65 isolates were serotyped. the most common salmonella serotypes were typhimurium and rissen (30.7% each); others included derby (9.2%), brandenburg (9.2%), newport (7.7%), bredeney (4.6%), anatum (3.0%), hadar (1.5%), and goldcoast (1.5%). one strain (1.5%) belonging to the monophasi ... | 2007 | 17612084 |
| microbiological quality of terrestrial gastropods prepared for human consumption. | hygienic quality was investigated in 60 samples of ready-to-eat snails (helix lactea, helix nemoralis, and helix hortensis) obtained from 30 in-season street stalls and 30 catering establishments (bars) in córdoba. in accordance with spanish legislation regarding hygiene in the preparation, distribution, and sale of prepared foods, counts were obtained for total mesophilic aerobic bacteria, coliforms, total enterobacteriaceae, escherichia coli, salmonella, and staphylococcus aureus. the results ... | 2004 | 15330550 |

| [salmonella spp. serotypes isolated at the hospital universitario reina sofía in córdoba during an 8-year period, 1993-2000]. | as a producer of gastro-enteritis and other symptoms, salmonella spp. remains an important problem for world public health. epidemiological knowledge at both general and local level by means of serotypification is considered one of the fundamental aspects for its control. | 2002 | 12006258 |
| analysis of the mechanism of quinolone resistance in nalidixic acid-resistant clinical isolates of salmonella serotype typhimurium. | over a period of 2.5 years, 42 cases of gastro-enteritis caused by nalidixic acid-resistant salmonella serotype typhimurium occurred in malaga. the epidemiological relationship among the strains involved was investigated by analysis of plasmid profile and of chromosomal dna by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge). despite having different plasmid profiles, all 42 nalidixic-acid resistant typhimurium isolates had evolved from one clone as shown by analysis of chromosomal dna by pfge. the mecha ... | 1997 | 9236748 |
| high prevalence of community-acquired norovirus gastroenteritis among hospitalized children: a prospective study. | acute gastroenteritis (age) causes significant morbidity, especially in young children, and frequently requires hospitalization even in developed countries. surveillance studies of age are important to determine the prevalence and variety of bacterial and viral pathogens, to initiate targeted preventive measures, such as vaccine programmes, and to monitor its impact. a prospective study was conducted in children <5 years old, admitted with age between april 2006 and april 2007 to the virgen del ... | 2011 | 21848976 |
