the problem of bacterial diarrhoea.the reported incidence of "pathogenic" bacteria, as judged by serotype, in the stools of children with acute diarrhoea has varied from 4 to 33% over the last twenty years. techniques such as tissue culture provide a means for detecting enterotoxin-producing strains of bacteria, strains which often do not possess "pathogenic" serotypes. "pathogenicity" requires redefinition, and the aetiological importance of bacteria in diarrhoea is probably considerably greater than previous reports have indica ...1976791597
genetic relatedness in the family enterobacteriaceae.five criteria of genetic relatedness are considered. the first, transfer of plasmids between groups, is frequently not a good criterion, because transfer is possible between all genera of the enterobacteriaceae and also to genera in other families. though transfer to closely related groups is most frequent, host restriction and the properties of the plasmid may influence the transfer frequency as much as the relatedness of the donor and recipient. the second criterion is interspecies recombinati ...1976791071

beta-lactamase activity in shigella sonnei.the basis of ampicillin resistance in shigella sonnei was analyzed for a number of isolates. most isolates that were resistant to ampicillin and cephalothin failed to transfer resistance. isolates resistant to cephalothin and ampicillin were inhibited by mecillinam, cefamandole, and cefoxitin. six strains were selected for study. these differed on the basis of inhibition by 10 beta-lactam antibiotics and on differences in beta-lactamase activity. there was no correlation between the inhibitory c ...1976782355
[use of the vshs elective-differential medium in the diagnosis of dysentery and other acute intestinal infections].results of trial of the vshs medium under conditions of direct seeding feces of patients suffering from dysentery and other acute intestinal disturbances demonstrated that by the efficacy of sh. sonnei isolation it failed to differ from ploskirev's bactoagar, was less effective in comparison with levin's medium with levomycetin (the incidence of shigella isolation was 49.7, 52.6 and 60.3%, respectively) and was the most effective in sh. newcastle isolation. in seeding feces after their enrichmen ...1976782114

[the role of the water factor in the spread of dysentery on river vessels].results of epidemiological and statistical analysis of the indices of dysentery morbidity and bacteriological examination of drinking water pointed to the significant role of the water factor in the spread of dysentery on the river vessels.1976782097
[an electron microscopic study of the interaction between shigellae and cell cultures. ii. structuro-functional response of the chief cytoplasmic organoids of infected cells].the initial mobilization of the protective power of amniotic cells under the influence of the intracellular parasite shigellae flexner was shown using qualitative and quantitative methods of electron microscopy. this mobilization is seen in the appearance and then concentration of membrane elements of the endoplasmic reticulum around the bacteria. the character of some degenerating changes confirms the opinion about the presence of an excreting endotoxin fraction in shigellae flexner.1975781958

semisynthetic cephalosporins. synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 7-sulfonylacetamido-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids.the synthesis and in vitro and in vivo activities of a series of 7-sulfonylacetamido-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids with acetoxymethyl or heterocyclic thiomethyl substituents at the 3 position are described. lengthening the alkyl chain attached to the sulfonyl group increased gram-positive activity but the effect on gram-negative activity was variable. other structural changes on the 7-acyl side chain resulted in only minor changes in vitro activity. the protective effectiveness in infected mice g ...1976781242

methylated guanine derivative as a minor base in the dna of phage ddvi shigella disenteriae.7-methylguanine has been identified in the dna of phage ddvi, which replicates in escherichia coli b cells. the amount of this minor base is 0.27 mol per 100 mol of nucleotides. in the dna of ddvi phage there is no 6-methylaminopurine which is usually a minor component in the dna of e. coli b and phage t2, yet the dna of ddvi phage is readily methylated during incubation in vitro with the b-specific methylase and adenosyl[3h]methionine with the label found only in 6-methylaminopurine. an extract ...1976779843
a bacteriological study of the intestinal mucosa and luminal fluid of adults with acute diarrhoea.bacteriological studies of jejunal mucosal biopsy specimens and contents were performed on 22 hospitalized adult patients with acute diarrhoea and 24 control normal subjects. none of the washed homogenates of the mucosal specimens were sterile and only one fluid specimen obtained from a control subject was sterile. a definite enteric pathogen was found in only five of the 22 diarrhoea patients. there was no qualitative difference in the bacterial profile of the jejunal mucosa and contents of the ...1976779681
shigellosis in custodial institutions. v. effect of intervention with streptomycin-dependent shigella sonnei vaccine in an institution with endemic disease.a double-blind controlled field trial of live, oral, streptomycin-dependent shigella sonnei vaccine was begun in an institution with endemic s. sonnei disease. considerable unexpected child-to-child transmission of the vaccine strains inadvertantly caused the field trial to resemble a mass vaccination campaign. although s. sonnei accounted for 90% of shigella infections from 1968 to 1971 and three-fourths of the cases occurred in the seven study cottages, s. sonnei disease disappeared following ...1976779465
