potential use of shared antigens for immunization against gram-negative bacillary infections.the demonstration of common antigens shared by all enterobacteriaceae has led to evaluation of the effects of immunization of animals and man with these antigens in protecting against bacterial infections and challenge with lps. both active and passive immunization with the re mutant of s. minnesota and the j5 mutant of e. coli afforded significant protection to mice and rabbits against lethal challenge with viable bacteria and heterologous lps. kdo appears to be the antigenic determinant respon ...19806163155
pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of genomic digests demonstrates linkages among food, food handlers, and patrons in a food-borne salmonella javiana outbreak in massachusetts.a total of 66 isolates of salmonella javiana isolated from food, food handlers, and patrons that were epidemiologically linked to an outbreak of gastroenteritis were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. analysis with restriction endonucleases xbai and spei supported the epidemiologic association and suggested a pathway of transmission among food, food handlers, and patrons.19989431968

reptile-associated salmonellosis--selected states, 1996-1998.during 1996-1998, cdc received reports from approximately 16 state health departments of salmonella infections in persons who had direct or indirect contact with reptiles (i.e., lizards, snakes, or turtles). salmonella infection can result in invasive illness including sepsis and meningitis, particularly in infants. despite educational efforts, some reptile owners remain unaware that reptiles place them and their children at risk for salmonellosis. this report summarizes clinical and epidemiolog ...199910577489

the application of peptide nucleic acid probes for rapid detection and enumeration of eubacteria, staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa in recreational beaches of s. florida.a novel chemiluminescent in situ hybridization technique using peptide nucleic acids (pna) was adapted for the detection of bacteria in beach sand and recreational waters in south florida. the simultaneous detection and enumeration of eubacteria and the novel indicators, staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa, was achieved within 6-8 h of processing. following 5 h of incubation on tsa, soybean peroxidase-labeled peptide nucleic acid probes (boston probes, boston, ma) targeting species- ...200415063055
seasonality in six enterically transmitted diseases and ambient temperature.we propose an analytical and conceptual framework for a systematic and comprehensive assessment of disease seasonality to detect changes and to quantify and compare temporal patterns. to demonstrate the proposed technique, we examined seasonal patterns of six enterically transmitted reportable diseases (eds) in massachusetts collected over a 10-year period (1992-2001). we quantified the timing and intensity of seasonal peaks of ed incidence and examined the synchronization in timing of these pea ...200717291363
infectious disease survey of lesser prairie chickens in north texas.lesser prairie chicken (tympanuchus pallidicinctus) abundance, like that of most grassland birds, has declined rangewide for decades. although habitat loss and degradation are likely ultimate causes for this decline, infectious agents, particularly microparasites, could be proximate contributors. no surveys of pathogenic bacteria or viruses have been published for this species. we surveyed 24 free-living lesser prairie chickens from hemphill county, texas (usa), for evidence of exposure to salmo ...200212528454
3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5h)-furanone (mx) and mutagenic activity in massachusetts drinking water.there is limited information on the prevalence of the potent mutagen 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5h)-furanone (mx) in u.s. water supplies. we measured mx concentrations and mutagenic activity in tap water samples from 36 surface water systems throughout massachusetts. we found mx levels much higher (up to 80 ng/l) than previously reported in the united states. we also evaluated the role of water treatment on mutagenic activity and disinfection by-product formation. after adjusting fo ...200211836144
emergence of domestically acquired ceftriaxone-resistant salmonella infections associated with ampc beta-lactamase.ceftriaxone, an expanded-spectrum cephalosporin, is an antimicrobial agent commonly used to treat severe salmonella infections, especially in children. ceftriaxone-resistant salmonella infections have recently been reported in the united states, but the extent of the problem is unknown.200011135779

acalculous cholecystitis in children.acalculous cholecystitis (ac) is a rare disease in children, and its spectrum has not been well established. twenty-five children with ac were identified (treated between 1970 and 1994) by retrospective clinical and pathological review. the authors recognized two distinct forms of this disease: acute (duration of symptoms < 1 month) and chronic (duration > 3 months). thirteen children had acute ac. seventy-five percent were males; the age range was from 2 months to 20 years. of these cases, six ...19968632265
salmonellosis associated with marijuana: a multistate outbreak traced by plasmid fingerprinting.in january and february of 1981, 85 cases of enteritis caused by salmonella muenchen were reported from ohio, michigan, georgia, and alabama. initial investigation failed to implicate a food source as a common vehicle, but in michigan 76 per cent of the patients, in contrast to 21 per cent of the control subjects, admitted personal or household exposure to marijuana (p less than 0.001, relative risk = 20). marijuana samples obtained from patients' households contained as many as 10(7) s. muenche ...19827070444

the incidence of salmonella in random-source cats purchased for use in research.in research facilities, cats are routinely ignored as a potential source of salmonella infection. over a period of 18 months, 142 cats received from commercial vendors for use in research were screened for enteric salmonella. salmonella was isolated from 15 animals, an incidence of 10.6%. five (29%) of the 17 shipments contained animals that were positive for salmonella. the serotypes isolated were salmonella derby, salmonella typhimurium, salmonella anatum, salmonella enteritidis, and salmonell ...1979376759
