| incidence, virulence factors, and clonality among clinical strains of non-o1, non-o139 vibrio cholerae isolates from hospitalized diarrheal patients in kolkata, india. | the incidence of vibrio cholerae non-o1, non-o139 strains from hospitalized patients with acute diarrhea constituted 27.4% (n = 54) of the total 197 v. cholerae strains isolated from patients in kolkata, india, in 2003. of 197 strains, 135 were identified as o1 serotype ogawa and 2 were identified as o139. in the same time period, six o1 background rough strains that possessed all known virulence factors were identified. serotype analysis of the non-o1, non-o139 strains placed 42 strains into 19 ... | 2009 | 19158257 |
| histopathological changes in experimental cholera with a non toxigenic non- o1 non-o139 vibrio cholerae strain isolated from kolkata, india. | this study was conducted to understand the pathophysiological changes in experimental rabbit ileal loop model using the vibrio cholerae strain non-o1non-o139, isolated as sole pathogen from clinically diagnosed cholera patients in kolkata. significant amount of haemorrhagic fluid accumulation was observed in all the test loops of rabbit model where the strain of v.cholerae was inoculated as compared to control loops. microscopic examination of the accumulated fluid showed the presence of erythro ... | 2006 | 16538861 |
| colonization ability & intestinal pathology of rabbits orally fed with vibrio cholerae o139 bengal. | the colonization ability of a representative epidemic strain of v. cholerae o139 bengal was studied in the oral rabbit colonization model and the nature of colonization in the ileal and jejunal tissues was examined ultrastructurally. results of the colonization study and ileal loop assay indicated that the strain proliferates and colonizes the small intestine of the rabbit mucosal surface. further, the electronmicroscopic study revealed the disruptive effect of the strain on the apical membrane ... | 1995 | 7729849 |
