diagnostic value of indirect hemagglutination in the seroepidemiology of shigella infections.to evaluate the usefulness of the indirect hemagglutination (iha) test in the epidemiological investigation of shigellosis, single serum specimens were tested from 50 patients with shigella dysenteriae 1 (shiga bacillus) infections, 103 asymptomatic contacts of these cases, 267 adult and 100 student control, and serum specimens collected during two outbreaks caused by s. sonnei and one outbreak due to s. flexneri 6. in patients with s. dysenteriae 1, 74% demonstrated titers of greater than or eq ...1976767361
[bacteriological and epidemiological considerations on shigelloses in south vietnam (1969-1973)].during the period from 1969 to 1973, a rectal swabs from 13.943 diarrhea patients of all ages were examined by bacteriological surveys. from these specimens, 981 strains of shigella were isolated. the most commonly encounted were shigella flexneri 2. all of strains of shigella isolated were highly resistant to aureomycin, tetracyclin, terramycin, novobiocin and chloramphenicol. there has been an increase in the development of multiresistance of shigella. colimycin and streptomycin were the most ...1975770024
naturally occurring sites within the shigella dysenteriae tryptophan operon severely limit tryptophan biosynthesis.we investigated the structural, functional, and regulatory properties of the shigella dysenteriae tryptophan (trp.) operon in transduction hybrids in which the cysb-trp-region of escherichia coli is replaced by the corresponding region from s. dysenteriae. tryptophan biosynthesis was largely blocked in the hybrids, although the order of the structural genes was identical with that of e. coli. nutritional tests and enzyme assays revealed that the hybrids produced a defective anthranilate synthet ...1976770449
tryptophan operon regulation in interspecific hybrids of enteric bacteria.we examined tryptophan regulation in merodiploid hybrids in which a plasmid carrying the trp operon of escherichia was introduced into trp mutants of other enteric genera, or in which a plasmid carrying the trpr+ (repressor) gene of e. coli was transfered into fully constitutive trpr mutants of other genera. in these hybrids the trp operon of one species is controlled by the repressor of a different species. similar investigations were possible in transduction hybrids in which either the trp ope ...1976770450
resistance of shigella dysenteriae type 1 to ampicillin and other antimicrobial agents: strains isolated during a dysentery outbreak in a hospital in mexico city.in june 1972, an epidemic of dysentery began in a hospital ward lodging 22 children with tuberculosis. fifteen of them developed the disease and five children died. the age of the children ranged from five months to four years. a rectal swab culture taken from all hospitalized children three weeks after the initiation of the outbreak revealed shigella dysenteriae type 1 in five of the patients (28%). the strains isolated were susceptible to cephalothin, gentamicin, kanamycin, colistin, trimethop ...1976772132
toxigenic escherichia coli and childhood diarrhea.stool specimens were examined from 40 children with diarrhea who were under three years of age to determine the incidence of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli in endemic diarrhea. heat-labile e. coli enterotoxin was assayed in the very sensitive and reproducible cultured adrenal tumor cell system. toxigenic e. coli were isolated from only one stool specimen and in this case infection with shigella dysenteriae was also present. none of the eight classic enteropathogenic e. coli isolates were posit ...1976775792
[immunochemical and molecular biological characteristics of dysentery phages].molecular organization of dna of six dysentery phages was studied for their classification. the pattern of glucosilation of their dna was determined by an immunochemical method and the test of competitive hybridization established the degree of homology of these dna in relation to t4 phage dna. four of the phages (ddvi, zonne "gorkyi" zonne "czechoslovakia", zonne "poland") were shown to belong to the group of t-even phages by their pattern of dna glucosilation and by their capacity to inhibit ...1976779271
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
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

effect of enterotoxins of vibrio cholerae, escherichia coli, and shigella dysenteriae type 1 on fluid and electrolyte transport in the colon.experiments were designed to determine whether the enterotoxins of vibrio cholerae, escherichia coli, and shigella dysenteriae type 1 alter the movement of fluid and electrolytes in the rat cecum. net secretion of water and sodium were observed after incubation of 1.67 x10(-5) mug of purified cholera toxin (choleragen)/ml for 18 hr or of 50 mug/ml for 3 hr. the effect of choleragen on cecal transport of water and electrolytes was related to the dose. in addition, choleragen increased cecal mucos ...1976787442
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

selective cleavage of glycosidic linkages: studies with the o-specific polysaccharide from shigella dysenteriae type 3.treatment of the o-specific polysaccharide from shigella dysenteriae type 3 with hydrazine in the presence of hydrazine sulphate resulted in quantitative n-deacetylation with the formation of a modified polysaccharide containing free amino groups. oxidation of the modified polysaccharide with periodate did not destroy the 2-amino-2-deoxygalactose residues, thus indicating that they were substituted at position 3. acid hydrolysis of the modified polysaccharide afforded 3-o-(2-amino-2-deoxy-beta ...19751097111
shigella strains associated with infantile diarrhea in the kaohsiung area.in 1969 and 1974, 375 shigella strains were isolated in the kaohsiung area, and their serotypes and in vitro susceptibility to antimicorbial agents were studied. in 1969, 249 (16.2%) strains were isolated from 1,476 specimens collected from infantile and young children dirrheal cases, whereas 126 strains (11.6%) were isolated from 1,086 specimens in 1969. the isolation rates were higher in may (21.2%), october (20.8%), april (20.6%), august (19.7), november (18.8%) and january (18.5%), than in o ...19751097211
[antigenic relationships between "levinea amalonatica" and "shigella dysenteriae" and "boydii" (author's transl)].twenty-eight strains among thirty-five levinea amalonatica show o antigenic relationships with shigella as follows: with s. dysenteriae 3 (5 strains), s. dysenteriae 4 (1 strain), s. dysenteriae 5 (3 strains), s. dysenteriae 7 (11 strains), s. boydii 6 (7 strains), and with both s. boydii 15 and s. dysenteriae 8 (1 strain). these strains do not induce purulent keratogenous conjunctivitis in guinea pigs as shigella do.19751098541
an outbreak of dysentery caused by shigella dysenteriae type 1 on a coral island in the bay of bengal.an epidemic of severe dysentery occurred on st. martin island in the bay of bengal at a time when the island, with a population of 1,318, was isolated from the mainland because of the monsoon season. there were 434 cases and 28 deaths within a three-month period. mortality (2%) was limited to the very young and the elderly. shigella dysenteriae type 1 (shiga bacillus) was isolated from 12 of 65 rectal swab specimens. all strains gave similar biochemical reactions and were resistant to tetracycli ...19751099145
epidemiologic investigation of an outbreak of shiga bacillus dysentery in an island population.an epidemic of dysentery broke out in st. martin island during may through july 1973. the epidemic was caused by shigella dysenteriae type 1. the dysentery could not be controlled by conventional antibiotics and other antidysenteric drugs. the average attack rate was 32.9%. the age specific attack rate was highest in the age group 1-4 years (52.2%). the attack rates were higher in smaller families. the rates were not greatly different amongst people using different sources of water. the overall ...19751101385
some immunochemical and chemical aspects of s and r shigella dysenteriae 1 endotoxins.endotoxins of s and r forms of shigella dysenteriae 1 were prepared by nacl-na citrate extraction, purified by gel chromatography on sephadex g 200 and on sepharose 4b and subjected to immunochemical and chemical analysis. the toxins contained 25--30% of lipids, 40--50% of carbohydrates and 14--24% of protein. the lipid and protein moieties of the lipopolysaccharide-protein complexes exhibited no significant difference, whereas the sugar moieties differed markedly (both qualitatively and quantit ...19751102598
