| local pattern of acute enteric bacterial infections in man--lagos, nigeria. | stool specimen from 994 patients with acute diarrhoeal diseases were processed for bacterial agents known to be responsible for acute diarrhoea. these were from patients seen at the lagos university teaching hospital over a 9 month period. the pattern that emerged showed shigella isolates made up by 36 flexneri; 29 boydii, 21 dysenteriae and 4 sonnei; salmonella isolates were typhi 3, typhimurium 12, enteritidis 3, oranienburg 9, others 8; yersinia enterocolitica 14; campylobacter species 20; en ... | 1983 | 6347763 |
| a study of the aetiological agents of childhood diarrhoea in lagos, nigeria. | from december 1989 to may 1990, 315 faecal samples from children under 5 years old with diarrhoea (215) and without diarrhoea (100) seen at paediatric clinics were investigated for bacterial, viral and parasitic enteropathogens. standard and recently described methods were used for the investigations, which revealed that 74.9% of children with diarrhoea were infected with enteropathogens compared with 28% of controls. in the diarrhoeal group, 59.1% had a bacterial, 26.5% a viral and 2.3% a paras ... | 1994 | 8289209 |
| prevalence, antimicrobial properties and beta-lactamase production of haemolytic enterobacteria in patients with diarrhoea and urinary tract infections in legos, nigeria. | to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial properties and beta-lactamase production of haemolytic enterobacteria in patients with diarrhoea and urinary tract infections in lagos, nigeria. | 1996 | 8771935 |
| enteric bacterial pathogens in stools of residents of urban and rural regions in nigeria: a comparison of patients with and without diarrhoea and controls without diarrhoea. | a total of 2,400 stool samples comprising 1,200 from patients with diarrhoea (600 each from urban and rural area) and 1,200 similarly divided controls were obtained from school children and clinic attendants of government and private clinics around three designated study centres of edo, lagos and cross river states, nigeria. these were screened for the prevalence of bacteria that could cause diarrhoea. diarrhoea cases in urban areas had a high prevalence rate for campylobacter spp. (28%), follow ... | 1997 | 9661320 |
| distributional patterns of bacterial diarrhoeagenic agents and antibiograms of isolates from diarrhoeaic and non-diarrhoeaic patients in urban and rural areas of nigeria. | to determine the prevalence of bacteria that could cause diarrhoea in stool specimens of individuals with and without diarrhoea in both urban and rural areas of nigeria. to ascertain the antibiotic susceptibilities of the bacterial diarrhoeagenic agents isolated. to document the predominant signs and symptoms associated with the various bacterial agents of diarrhoea. | 1998 | 10101427 |

| characteristics of yersinia intermedia-like bacteria isolated from patients with diarrhea in nigeria. | five yersinia strains, biochemically mimicking yersinia intermedia, were isolated from patients with acute diarrheal diseases seen at the university of lagos (nigeria) teaching hospital between october 1979 and september 1982. the five isolates utilized citrate as their source of carbon and fermented sucrose, l-rhamnose, and alpha-methyl-d-glucoside, but unlike any other y. intermedia biogroup, they failed to ferment d-melibiose or d-raffinose. they all belonged to serogroup o:52,53. four autoag ... | 1986 | 3711276 |
| screening for listeria monocytogenes and other related species from faecal specimens at the lagos university teaching hospital, lagos. | four hundred and twenty faecal specimens from patients with acute gastroenteritis and apparently healthy persons who reported at the lagos university teaching hospital (luth) between october, 1988 and may, 1989 were investigated for faecal carriage of listeria monocytogenes and other related species. of these specimens, none was positive for listeria species. however, the mannitol--fermenting listeria species now murraya grayi sub species grayi and murraya grayi sub spp. murrayi representing 0.9 ... | 1992 | 1308081 |
