| prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of foodborne bacteria in wild boars (sus scrofa) and wild deer (cervus nippon) in japan. | this study aimed to evaluate the role of wild boars and deer as reservoirs of foodborne bacteria. we investigated the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility of campylobacter spp., salmonella spp., shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) o157 and o26, and listeria monocytogenes isolated from wild boars and deer in japan, from july through december 2010. campylobacter spp. and salmonella spp. were isolated from 43.8% (95% confidence interval [ci]: 35.0-52.6) and 7.4% (95% ci: 2.8-12.1) ... | 2013 | 24161070 |
| a national surveillance of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli in food-producing animals in japan. | to assess the public health risk, the prevalence and anti-microbial resistance of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) among food-producing animals were studied throughout japan. faecal samples were collected from healthy animals of 272 cattle, 179 pigs, and 158 broilers on 596 farms in all 47 japanese prefectures. stec were isolated from 62 (23%) cattle and 32 (14%) pig samples but from no chicken samples. of the bovine isolates, 19 belonged to serotypes frequently implicated in human ... | 2005 | 16115097 |
| [contamination of healthy livestock with verocytotoxin producing escherichia coli (vtec), the first isolation from goats in japan]. | as part of the investigation on the source and route of infection with verocytotoxin producing escherichia coli (vtec) in human beings, isolation of vtec was attempted using fresh feces collected from healthy livestock (cattle, swine and goat) raised in sagamihra, yokohama and hiratsuka cities from october, 1991 to march, 1992. vtec could be isolated from 1 (1.0%) of 105 swine, 2 (3.6%) of 55 cattle and 2 (15.4%) of 13 goats. vtec was isolated for the first time from goats in japan. the combinat ... | 1994 | 8027599 |
| studies on babesia first found in murine in japan: epidemiology, morphology and experimental infection. | during the period from november 1980 to september 1982, 314 small wild mammals were captured in 5 localities in japan. twenty-six out of 86 apodemus speciosus and one out of 6 a. argenteus both species captured in shiga prefecture (35 degrees 02'n, 135 degrees 50'e, 330 m elev .) were positive for babesia. the parasitemia in those animals was generally low. the infection rate did not show any significant difference between sexes of the host or between seasons, whereas it tended to go up with the ... | 1984 | 6730782 |
| antimicrobial susceptibilities of shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli isolates from pigs with edema disease in japan. | fifty-seven shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli (stec) strains isolated from pigs with edema disease (ed) from 1997 to 2001 in japan were examined for antimicrobial susceptibilities. the susceptibilities were compared with those of e. coli atcc 23546 isolated from pig with ed in the 1950's. consequently, the isolated stecs showed high susceptibility to peptides and bicozamycin in a way similar to the reference strain. on the other hand, the stecs showed low susceptibility to beta-lactams, tet ... | 2003 | 12636254 |
| zoonotic infection with onchocerca dewittei japonica in an 11-year-old boy in kansai region, western honshu, japan. | an 11-year-old boy living in otsu city, shiga prefecture, kansai region, western honshu, japan had zoonotic onchocercosis. the patient developed a painful swelling on the little finger of his left hand. the worm detected in the excised mass had external transverse ridges but did not have inner striae in the cuticle. on the basis of the parasite's histopathological characteristics, the causative agent was identified as a female onchocerca dewittei japonica (spirurida: onchocercidae). the species ... | 2017 | 28648713 |
