| serious infections with edwardsiella tarda. a case report and review of the literature. | edwardsiella tarda, a member of the family enterobacteriaceae, has recently become recognized as pathogenic, especially in patients with an underlying illness. in the present report, a patient had sickle cell hemoglobinopathy and e tarda bacteremia. other cases of serious infection with edwardsiella are reported in the literature. edwardsiella infection may present as bacteremia, enteric fever, gastroenteritis, localized infection, and an asymptomatic carrier state. on the basis of this review, ... | 1989 | 2643415 |
| automated biochemical identification of bacterial fish pathogens using the abbott quantum ii. | the quantum ii, originally designed by abbott diagnostics for automated rapid identification of members of enterobacteriaceae, was adapted for the identification of bacterial fish pathogens. the instrument operates as a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 492.600 nm. a sample cartridge containing 20 inoculated biochemical chambers is inserted in the path of the analyzing beam. reactions are converted into a 7-digit octal biocode, relayed via a sensor to the memory module, and compared to biocod ... | 1989 | 2644450 |
| bacterial diseases of marine fish. | the principal bacterial diseases found among wild and cultured marine fish are reviewed. the bacterial agents discussed include the gram-negative pathogens in the vibrio, aeromonas, pasteurella and edwardsiella genera, renibacterium salmoninarum and the myxobacteria, streptococci, mycobacteria, nocardias and anaerobic organisms which have been associated with fish diseases. methods for the isolation and identification of these organisms are described. | 1989 | 2678720 |
| dietary influences on disease resistance factors in channel catfish. | the effects of diet on selected disease resistance factors were studied in channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus). two commercial feeds and a "control," laboratory-prepared diet were compared. macrophage function (phagocytosis and intracellular killing) was used to assess nonspecific disease resistance and serum antibody was measured as an indication of specific immunity. we measured the immune response to edwardsiella ictaluri, a common bacterial pathogen of catfish, as well as the phagocytosis ... | 1989 | 2767308 |
| surface properties and ultrastructure of edwardsiella species. | twenty-two strains of edwardsiella representing the three currently recognized species were evaluated for surface characteristics and ultrastructural morphology. all isolates tested possessed a high surface cell charge as detected by deae-cellulose chromatography; surface hydrophobicity was variable and strain but not species dependent. two major types of adhesins detected by hemagglutination assays were identified: one was inhibited by d-mannose (mannose-sensitive hemagglutinin) and found on al ... | 1989 | 2768468 |
| development and testing of invasion-associated dna probes for detection of shigella spp. and enteroinvasive escherichia coli. | genetic determinants of the invasive phenotype of shigella spp. and enteroinvasive escherichia coli (eiec), two common agents of bacillary dysentery, are encoded on large (180- to 210 kilobase), nonconjugative plasmids. several plasmid-encoded antigens have been implicated as important bacterial ligands that mediate the attachment and invasion of colonic epithelial cells by the bacteria. selected invasion plasmid antigen (ipa) genes have recently been cloned from shigella flexneri serotype 5 int ... | 1988 | 2830310 |

| rapid plasmid analysis for identification of edwardsiella ictaluri from infected channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus). | eighteen different strains of edwardsiella ictaluri isolated from infected channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus) were screened to determine whether plasmid dna was present. two plasmids of 5,700 and 4,900 base pairs were identified. restriction enzyme analysis showed that each of the strains harbored these same two plasmids. restriction maps of the separated plasmids indicated that these plasmids were not closely related to each other. a rapid screening technique was developed that would allow t ... | 1987 | 3038017 |
| drug-resistant plasmids from fish pathogens. | the epidemiological surveillance of drug-resistant strains of the fish pathogenic bacteria vibrio anguillarum and pasteurella piscicida carrying transferable r plasmids in fish farms is described. the dna structure of r plasmids, and the drug-resistant determinants of r plasmids from the fish pathogens aeromonas hydrophila,aeromonas salmonicida, edwardsiella tarda, v. anguillarum, and p. piscicida are discussed. | 1988 | 3079184 |
| plasmodium relictum as a cause of avian malaria in wild-caught magellanic penguins (spheniscus magellanicus). | avian malaria (plasmodium relictum) caused significant mortality in wild-caught magellanic penguins (spheniscus magellanicus) in 1986 at the blank park zoo in des moines, iowa (usa). in early winter, wild birds were captured off the southern coast of chile and flown to detroit, michigan for a 38 day quarantine. after quarantine, 18 birds were dispersed to lansing, michigan, six to a facility in maine, and 46 to des moines, iowa. upon arrival in des moines, several penguins became weak and inacti ... | 1988 | 3193555 |
| edwardsiella tarda septicemia complicating acute leukemia. | we describe here an unusual case of edwardsiella tarda septicemia preceded by acute gastroenteritis in a patient with acute leukemia in complete remission receiving maintenance chemotherapy. she also had ulcerated rectal cancer with bleeding, which was thought to serve as the portal of entry into the blood stream. she was successfully treated with cefmetazole and gentamicin in combination. however, the concomitant resolution of chemotherapy-induced granulocytopenia may have had a favorable effec ... | 1988 | 3193663 |
| inhibitory activity of antibiotic-producing marine bacteria against fish pathogens. | the activity of antibiotic-producing marine bacteria was assayed against bacterial fish pathogens belonging to the genera vibrio, aeromonas, pasteurella, edwardsiella, yersinia and pseudomonas with the aim of evaluating the possible use of these marine strains for controlling epizootics in aquaculture. inhibition tests on solid medium showed that, in general, the majority of fish bacteria were strongly sensitive to the marine bacteria. only two strains (edwardsiella tarda and pseudomonas aerugin ... | 1988 | 3204073 |
| chemical characterization of lipopolysaccharide from edwardsiella ictaluri, a fish pathogen. | the chemical components of lipopolysaccharide (lps) from the fish pathogen edwardsiella ictaluri (ed. ictaluri) were analyzed by sds-page, gas chromatography, and spectrophotometry, and compared with those of salmonella typhimurium and escherichia coli 0111:b4. only four to five low molecular weight species of lps from ed. ictaluri were detected by silver staining after separation by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. the low molecular weight species, as well as a low sugar content, indicate th ... | 1988 | 3208199 |

| the phylogenetic origin of the bifunctional tyrosine-pathway protein in the enteric lineage of bacteria. | because bifunctional enzymes are distinctive and highly conserved products of relatively infrequent gene-fusion events, they are particularly useful markers to identify clusters of organisms at different hierarchical levels of a phylogenetic tree. within the subdivision of gram-negative bacteria known as superfamily b, there are two distinctive types of tyrosine-pathway dehydrogenases: (1) a broad-specificity dehydrogenase (recently termed cyclohexadienyl dehydrogenase [cdh]) that can utilize ei ... | 1988 | 3386529 |
