strain-related differences in immunosuppressive effects of enterobacteriaceae and their lipopolysaccharides on production in rabbits of antibody to enterobacterial common antigen.certain polysaccharides have been shown to inhibit the antibody response of rabbits to the common enterobacterial antigen (ca). the present investigation revealed that striking differences exist in the immunosuppressive effects of enteric bacteria and their lipolysaccharides (lps), depending upon ca production by the strains. mixtures of immunogenic strains (escherichia coli f2378 [r4], e. coli f470 [r1], or shigella boydii f3140 [r]) and non-immunogenic ca-producing strains, such as e. coli o1, ...1976776827
shigella flexneri 6 biotypes: a review.except in gas production, s. flexneri 6 is generally similar to other s. flexneri. s. flexneri 6 contains both aerogenic and anaerogenic strains which are identical serologically. it is not surprising that s. flexneri 6 is not separable from other s. flexneri types on the basis of dna relatedness (overall genetic makeup) (4). the manchester biotype is seen in the united states, and is easily separable from other enterobacteriaceae by biochemical tests. one can no longer assume à priori that any ...1976776900
isolation of salmonellas and shigella sonnei from a laboratory bench.an area of the laboratory bench on which slide agglutinations were performed in the diagnosis of salmonella and shigella infection was examined for these organisms. impression plates and broth-moistened swabs were used for sampling. both techniques gave satisfactory results, but the contact plates provided positive results a day earlier than the swabs. suitable precautions to minimize contamination of the bench surface are discussed.1976778256

epidemic shigellosis on a worktrain in labrador.an epidemic of shigellosis occurred on a worktrain in western labrador in october 1974. during the outbreak 62 persons out of a crew of 91 became ill, 11 having recurrent illness; 14 were hospitalized. epidemiologic analysis with laboratory confirmation implicated unchlorinated and contaminated lake water as the source of the epidemic. faulty design of water storage tanks perpetuated the use of contaminated water; hence a second wave of illness occurred. the tanks were then thoroughly drained, c ...1976788882
[ 771 shigella strains isolated in a 15-year period from americans living in ankara. comparisons with shigella strains isolated from turkish natives].the author had worked as a bacteriologist in ankara american air force hospital from 1958 to 1972. during this period of time he was able to isolate 771 shigella strains from the american patients of the hospital. the amounts and the percentages of the subgroups are listed below together with the two other ankara city pediatric hospital results (see article). american community lived in ankara for 15 years and shared many aspects which were important in shigella epidemiology like using city's ta ...1976790107

[shigellosis in tucumán].in 731 diarrhea cases studied from january 1971 to june 1973 in tucumán a significant increase of shigellosis in eutrophic children was observed. the frequency of shigella isolations, considering all the enteropathogens found, were: 15,5 %; 13 % and 21,3 % in 1971, 1972 and 1973, respectively (table 1). all the strains of shigella isolated belonged to the shigella flexneri b or shigella sonnei d groups, being the percentage for the former 78 % in 1971; 93 % in 1972 and 77 % in 1973 (table 2). th ...1975790480
shigellosis transmitted by nurses.twelve cases of shigella sonnei infection, with two deaths, occurred at a custodial institution in donelson, tennessee, in april and may 1973. nine of the cases and both deaths were in patients hospitalized at the institution's infirmary. the patients with nosocomial shigellosis were significantly younger and had been hospitalized significantly longer than controls. epidemiologic investigation implicated staff members in the transmission of illness from one patient to another and identified the ...1976790590
experimental techniques in the determination of aetiology of acute infantile gastroenteritis.techniques used in the research laboratory for the microbiological diagnosis of infantile gastroenteritis are described. these techniques are in essence experimental models of the three pathogenetic mechanisms of bacterial diarrhoea. from the clinical bacteriological standpoint, although there is little difficulty with the identification of enteropathic bacteria such as salmonella and shigella, the differentiation of enteropathic strains of escherichia coli from commensal strains is not possible ...1976790602
[role of stewed fruit-berries as a factor in the transmission of dysentery toxinfectious diseases].experimental investigations aimed at working out methods for quantification of sh. sonnei in experimentally infected stewed fruits and berries are described and the ways for educing the epidemiological hazards of a compote prepared by failing to comply with proper heat treatment - idicated. the presently proposed by the author procedure for bacteriological analysis of an infected compote is shown to be sensitive enough, for it enables one to count 10(2) and more shigella cells in 1 ml of compote ...1976790769
