| [the use of a cholera coagulating diagnostic agent under the cholera epidemic conditions in dagestan]. | dried cholera diagnosticum for the slide coagglutination test was obtained. the diagnosticum, found to be highly active and specific, permitted the detection of vibrio cholerae in the analyzed material at a concentration of 10(6)-10(8) microbial cells/ml. the diagnosticum was used during cholera epidemic in daghestan for the detection and rapid identification of cholera vibrios. in all cases the positive results of the coagglutination test were confirmed by other investigation methods (no cases ... | 1995 | 7771138 |
| [the routes of the spread of cholera in the shamil'skiĭ mountain district of dagestan]. | the routes of the spread of cholera were analyzed in 273 patients and vibrio carriers during the outbreak of cholera in a mountainous region of daghestan during the period of july 18 to september 4, 1994. cholera was found to spread mainly after funeral repasts and condolence visits accompanied by the dispensation of foodstuffs, transmission being realized through alimentary and contact routes. under the conditions of the absence of the centralized water supply system in mountain villages and th ... | 1995 | 7771145 |
| [the cholera epidemic in mountainous regions of dagestan in relation to the probable role of the water factor in its spread]. | the follow-up of dynamics of cholera epidemic in 1994 was made in 4 mountain regions of daghestan with shared river system. there were 537 infection cases in these regions, which was equal to 1/4 from the total number of cholera patients in daghestan. the probability of cholera distribution by water way has been shown, which can be related to massive dissemination with v. cholerae in river, drink and waste water both from active, and from local (intrahospital) epidemic sources. vibrio's exit fro ... | 1995 | 7771149 |
| [the characteristics of the antibacterial therapy for cholera in dagestan]. | wide circulation of antibiotic-resistant vibrio cholerae strains again gives prominence to the problem of etiotropic therapy. the results of the treatment of 428 persons infected with v.cholerae (237 cholera patients and 191 vibrio carriers) in different regions of daghestan during the outbreak of epidemic in 1994 are presented. the main criterion of the effectiveness of antibacterial therapy was the determination of the percentage of bacterial relapses. the sensitivity of 118 v.cholerae strains ... | 1995 | 7771151 |
| [the characteristics of vibrio cholerae isolated in dagestan in 1994]. | a high degree of resistance to cholera diagnostic phages and carriership of prophages characteristic of v. cholerae eltor strains vct+ were shown to be the specific features v. cholerae isolated in daghestan during the period of june-october 1994. among the strains under study, isolated respectively in 12 and 18 out of 19 regions of daghestan, a high proportion was found to have resistance to tetracycline (65%) and chloramphenicol (28.6%). moreover, some strains were found to be resistant to fur ... | 1995 | 7771152 |
| [the bacteriophage lysis-susceptibility properties of vibrio cholerae strains isolated in separate regions of dagestan in 1994]. | the study of the properties of v. cholerae strains isolated in june-september 1994 in the daghestan revealed that they belonged, according to their specific properties, to typical representatives of v. eltor, serovar ogawa, but a great part of them (67.2%) was not lysed by diagnostic cholera bacteriophages. experiments with different batches of diagnostic cholera bacteriophages showed the necessity of their further improvement. | 1995 | 7771153 |
| [the preservation of the causative agent of cholera in the water supplies of the central regions of dagestan (experimental data)]. | the acidic ph of water of surface water reservoirs in izberbash and two adjoining regions, including sea water, seems to be unfavorable for the prolonged preservation of vibrio cholerae eltor, but additional ecological investigations are necessary to study the possibility for infection to take root at this territory. water from the zam-zam spring, if contaminated with v. cholerae, may serve as a transmission factor, but the duration of its action is limited by the survival term of v. cholerae. t ... | 1995 | 7771154 |
| [the properties of the vibrio cholerae strains isolated in large districts in western dagestan in 1994]. | 190 v. cholerae cultures isolated by the specialized antiepidemic brigade of the rostov-on-don research institute for plague control in the khasavyurt, babayurt and novolaksk regions of daghestan in august-october 1994. all isolated strains were typical with respect to their morphological and cultural properties and could be agglutinated (with the exception of one strain) to the titer or half-titer with diagnostic cholera serum and ogawa serum. 4 strains had signs of ro-dissociation, 4 strains w ... | 1995 | 7771155 |

| [a dna analysis of vibrio cholerae strains by the polymerase chain reaction]. | the method for the analysis of cholera toxin gene in v. cholerae strains was developed on the basis of polymerase chain reaction (pcr). this specific and highly sensitive method using primers affecting the site of the dna of the operon of cholera toxin gene made it possible to identify one copy of v. cholerae genome. for the first time the content of cholera toxin gene in 4 v. cholerae (eltor) strains, obtained from the clinical material of cholera patients in tajikistan and dagestan, was shown ... | 1996 | 9027173 |
| [the characteristics of the current stage in the development of the 7th cholera pandemic]. | the state and tendencies in the development of the epidemiological situation in cholera in the world (1961-1996) are evaluated. as revealed in this investigation, at the modern stage the development of the 7th pandemic characterized by the formation of stable and temporary endemic foci in a number of countries of asia, africa, central and south america and by the import of cholera from these foci to different countries of the world, including the cis countries and russia. the "trigger mechanism" ... | 1997 | 9460863 |
| [microtest systems in the diagnosis of cholera]. | micro test systems for the biochemical identification of comma bacilli (mts-v) and for a rapid determination of their groups according heiberg (mts-h) were designed and commissioned into medical practice. the micro test systems showed their advantages before the control media of hiss and bacterium incubation media at studying the museum-kept and freely-obtained vibrio strains as well as at studying the concomitant microflora and clinical materials taken from ill people and vibrio-carriers during ... | 2003 | 12688218 |
