| shigella infections in the united states, 1974-1980. | during the seven-year period 1974-1980, 93,516 shigella isolates from humans were reported to the centers for disease control, atlanta, through a nationwide surveillance system. over the past 30 years, the reported incidence of shigellosis has been declining in contrast to that reported for salmonellosis. shigella sonnei (group d) now accounts for approximately 70% of the shigella isolates reported, since most of the decline has been due to the increasingly less frequent infections caused by shi ... | 1983 | 6341480 |
| giardiasis in day-care centers: evidence of person-to-person transmission. | in august and september 1975, an outbreak of diarrhea occurred in children 1 to 3 1/2 years old attending a day-care center. an investigation revealed overlapping epidemics of shigellosis and giardiasis, with 54% of the children infected with giardia lamblia. at two other centers 29% and 38% of the children had g. lamblia infection, but none had shigella. the prevalence of g. lamblia in the day-care children was significantly higher than the 2% prevalence in age-matched children not in day-care ... | 1977 | 905014 |
| enteric bacterial growth rates in river water. | enteric bacteria, including stocked strains of pathogenic species and organisms naturally present in the stream, were capable of growth in a chemostat with autoclaved river water taken 750 m below a sewage outfall. maximal specific growth rates for all organisms occurred at 30 c, whereas culture generation times ranged between 33.3 and 116 hr. of the six laboratory strains of enteric species used, escherichia coli and enterobacter aerogenes grew at generation times of 34.5 and 33.3 hr, respectiv ... | 1972 | 4561100 |
| trends in population-based active surveillance for shigellosis and demographic variability in foodnet sites, 1996-1999. | shigella is a common cause of diarrhea in the united states, and accurate surveillance is needed to determine the burden of illness that they cause. active surveillance for culture-confirmed shigella infection was done as part of the foodborne diseases active surveillance network (foodnet). a total of 4317 cases of shigellosis were reported during 1996-1999 in the original foodnet surveillance areas. the average annual incidence was 7.4 cases/100,000 population. the incidence was similar during ... | 2004 | 15095187 |
| shigellosis among swimmers in a freshwater lake. | shigella infection is highly communicable; however, outbreaks associated with swimming in recreational fresh water are rarely identified. | 2005 | 16144171 |
| yersinia enterocolitica o:3: an emerging cause of pediatric gastroenteritis in the united states. the yersinia enterocolitica collaborative study group. | after an outbreak of yersinia enterocolitica infections among black children in atlanta, a seven-hospital study was conducted to determine the importance of this pathogen in other communities with large black populations. of 4841 stool specimens from patients with gastroenteritis examined between november 1989 and january 1990, y. enterocolitica, shigella, campylobacter, and salmonella were identified in 38, 49, 60, and 98 specimens, respectively; 34 (92%) of 37 y. enterocolitica isolates were s ... | 1991 | 1995741 |
| incidence of foodborne illnesses reported by the foodborne diseases active surveillance network (foodnet)-1997. foodnet working group. | in 1997, the foodborne diseases active surveillance program (foodnet) conducted active surveillance for culture-confirmed cases of campylobacter, escherichia coli o157, listeria, salmonella, shigella, vibrio, yersinia, cyclospora, and cryptosporidium in five emerging infections program sites. foodnet is a collaborative effort of the centers for disease control and prevention's national center for infectious diseases, the united states department of agriculture's food safety and inspection servic ... | 2000 | 10852576 |
| current status of immunofluorescence techniques for rapid detection of shigellae in fecal specimens. | polyvalent shigella conjugates were prepared for shigella groups a, b, c, and d. after preliminary testing with pure cultures of both homologous and heterologous organisms, these reagents were used in three evaluation studies. fecal specimens from patients hospitalized with diarrhea, from children involved in an institutional outbreak of dysentery due to s. sonnei, and from patients with diarrhea in arizona were screened by fluorescent-antibody (fa) tests and were cultured. specimens were examin ... | 1965 | 14339269 |
