| laribacter hongkongensis: a potential cause of infectious diarrhea. | in this study, we describe the isolation of laribacter hongkongensis, a recently described genus and species of bacterium, in pure culture on charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar from the stool of six patients with diarrhea. three patients were residents of hong kong, and three of switzerland. in none of the stool samples obtained from these six patients was salmonella, shigella, enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli, vibrio, aeromonas, plesiomonas, or campylobacter recovered. rotavirus antigen ... | 2003 | 14711474 |
| seasonal and tissue distribution of laribacter hongkongensis, a novel bacterium associated with gastroenteritis, in retail freshwater fish in hong kong. | laribacter hongkongensis, a recently discovered bacterium associated with community-acquired gastroenteritis, has been found in the intestines of freshwater fish. to better understand the epidemiology and ecology of the bacterium, we carried out a surveillance study to investigate possible seasonal variation in the recovery of l. hongkongensis and its distribution in various organs in retail freshwater fish in hong kong. forty whole freshwater fish of two species (20 grass carps and 20 bighead c ... | 2007 | 16996630 |
| isolation of laribacter hongkongensis, a novel bacterium associated with gastroenteritis, from drinking water reservoirs in hong kong. | freshwater fish has been found to be the reservoir of laribacter hongkongensis, a recently discovered bacterium associated with community-acquired gastroenteritis. however, little is known about the ecology of this bacterium in the aquatic environment. we carried out a surveillance study to investigate the presence of l. hongkongensis in water and freshwater fish from 10 drinking water reservoirs in hong kong. | 2007 | 17714383 |
| environmental surveillance for laribacter hongkongensis, a diarrhoeal pathogen discovered in hong kong. | 1. laribacter hongkongensis was isolated from the midguts and hindguts of 86 (24%) of 360 freshwater fish from retail markets, including grass carp (60%), bighead carp (53%), mud carp (25%), and large-mouth bass (5%). 2. this study is the first to demonstrate the presence of l hongkongensis in natural water environments, with the bacterium being isolated from the waters of six reservoirs, with higher recovery rates in summer and during days of higher water and ambient temperatures. 3. molecular ... | 2009 | 19258631 |

| laribacter hongkongensis: an emerging pathogen of infectious diarrhea. | laribacter hongkongensis is relatively a new name in the list of bacterial pathogens for gastroenteritis and travelers' diarrhea. addition of another name increases burden on the enteric infections as a whole. l. hongkongensis belongs to neisseriaceae family of β subclass proteobacteria. l. hongkongensis was initially isolated in hong kong from blood and empyema of an alcoholic cirrhotic patient in 2001, followed by reports from korea and china, representing a total of 38 articles in pubmed unti ... | 2014 | 24481985 |
