| isolation of drug-resistant aeromonas hydrophila from aquatic environments. | antibiotic-resistant strains of aeromonas hydrophila have been isolated from the natural environment in the chesapeake bay and areas surrounding dacca and the matlab region of bangladesh. the bangladesh strains carried resistance to chloramphenicol, streptomycin, and tetracycline, and 57% of them had a multiple streptomycin-tetracycline resistance phenotype correlated with the presence of a large plasmid. the chesapeake bay strains were resistant to polymyxin b ane tetracycline, but showed neith ... | 1980 | 7425607 |
| studies on the bacterial flora of fish which are potential pathogens for human. isolation of various potential human pathogenic organisms from different parts of fish and their significance in initiating human diseases. | freshwater fish of different categories, collected from market of dhaka city of bangladesh, were studied for the bacterial flora. potential human pathogens were isolated from about eighty-five percent of the fish studied. organisms isolated were aeromonas spp., (69.2%), vibrio spp., (42.3%), plesiomonas shigelloides (35.9%) and escherichia coli (16.7%). the high association of potential human pathogens among the freshwater fish suggest that if fish are handled improperly or if consumed undercook ... | 1994 | 7748144 |
| enterotoxigenicity, hemolytic activity and antibiotic resistance of aeromonas spp. isolated from freshwater prawn marketed in dhaka, bangladesh. | aeromonas spp. were isolated from gills, swimmerets, eggs, stomachs and ventral muscles of freshwater prawns (macrobrachium malcolmsonii) available in the local fish market of dhaka, bangladesh. the density of aeromonas spp. on these different body parts of the prawn samples ranged from 1.1 +/- 0.2 x 10(4) to 1.5 +/- 0.16 x 10(7) cfu per gram. the viable counts of aeromonads, fecal coliforms (fc) and escherichia coli gradually increased in prawn samples when stored at 4 c. at -20 c, the viable c ... | 1994 | 7869955 |
| abundance of aeromonas spp. in river and lake waters in and around dhaka, bangladesh. | aeromonas spp. are widely distributed in the aquatic environment. in bangladesh, seasonal distribution of these organisms in aquatic environment was studied during july 1986-august 1987. water, sediment, plant, and plankton samples were collected monthly from the dhanmondi lake and the buriganga river during the study period. aeromonas spp. were isolated from all samples throughout the year. the seasonal peak of aeromonas spp. was observed in warmer months (april-may) in the surface waters. in t ... | 1995 | 8568196 |
| case-control study of enteropathogens associated with childhood diarrhea in dhaka, bangladesh. | the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh, is a major center for research into diarrheal diseases. the center treats more than 100,000 patients a year. to obtain useful information representative of all patients, a surveillance system in which a 4% systematic sample of all patients is studied in detail, including etiological agents of diarrhea, was installed in october 1979. the first paper on etiology for the surveillance patients was published in 1982, which identifi ... | 1999 | 10523534 |
| antibiotic resistance patterns of aeromonas spp. isolated from environmental and clinical sources. | microbiologists from the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh (icddr,b) collected water, sediment, plant, and plankton samples from a lake and a river in dhaka, bangladesh to isolate aeromonas spp. they also took clinical isolates from patients at the dhaka hospital of icddr,b. the microbiologists identified at least 154 isolates of aeromonas and analyzed them for antibiotic susceptibility using the standard agar disc diffusion method. 92.8% of the environmental is ... | 1988 | 12342624 |
| epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of acute diarrhea with emphasis on entamoeba histolytica infections in preschool children in an urban slum of dhaka, bangladesh. | the epidemiology, clinical features, nutritional status, and causative agents of diarrhea were studied in 289 bangladeshi children (147 boys and 142 girls) 2-5 years old. the use of improved diagnostic tests for amebiasis enabled for the first time analysis of the contribution of entamoeba histolytica to total diarrheal illness in this community setting. the average incidence rate of diarrhea was 1.8/child-year, and the average number of diarrheal days was 3.7 days/child-year over an average obs ... | 2003 | 14640500 |
| isolation of vibrio cholerae from neonates admitted to an urban diarrhoeal diseases hospital in bangladesh. | very little is known about vibrio cholerae infection in neonates with diarrhoea. | 2005 | 16156982 |
| bacterial enteropathogens of neonates admitted to an urban diarrhoeal hospital in bangladesh. | data on the aetiology of diarrhoea in neonates are scarce, especially from developing countries including bangladesh. a retrospective review of the electronic database of the microbiology laboratory of the international centre for diarrhoeal disease research, bangladesh (icddr,b), was carried out to examine enteropathogens associated with diarrhoea in neonates. stool specimens of the neonates on admission to the dhaka hospital of icddr,b were collected and sent to the laboratory for direct plati ... | 2009 | 18840632 |
| bacterial aetiology of diarrhoeal diseases and antimicrobial resistance in dhaka, bangladesh, 2005-2008. | summaryinfectious diarrhoea caused by bacterial pathogens contributes to the high level of mortality in developing countries like bangladesh. following standard bacteriological procedures, a total of 14 428 bacterial pathogens were isolated from 56 132 stool samples and rectal swabs collected from diarrhoeal patients between 2005 and 2008. the rate of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility data were retrospectively analysed for these isolates and among them vibrio spp. (42·9%) were the most ... | 2011 | 22040529 |
