aspirin in acute gastroenteritis: a clinical and microbiological study.soluble aspirin given by mouth in divided dosage decreased intestinal fluid loss in infants and young children with acute gastroenteritis. the treated group had significantly less diarrhea, which ceased earlier and needed less intravenous therapy, than a randomly selected control group given an indistinguishable placebo. this effect of aspirin occurred with diarrhea caused by salmonella, aeromonas, escherichia coli producing heat-labile toxin, and rotavirus, but not with diarrhea associated with ...19846389815
aeromonas hydrophila and plesiomonas shigelloides as causes of intestinal infections.infections due to aeromonas hydrophila and plesiomonas shigelloides in immuno-compromised hosts have been well documented, but the role of these organisms in causing gastrointestinal disease in healthy persons is controversial. despite difficulties in characterizing the exotoxins produced by aeromonas species, there is accumulating evidence that these bacteria are capable of causing usually mild, self-limited diarrheal disease in previously healthy adults. some pediatric patients may have protra ...19846390638
prophylactic doxycycline for travelers' diarrhea in thailand. further supportive evidence of aeromonas hydrophila as an enteric pathogen.a randomized double-blind study to determine the efficacy of a three-week course of doxycycline (100 mg daily) in preventing travelers' diarrhea was performed in 1980 among 63 united states peace corps volunteers during their first five weeks in thailand, an area where doxycycline-resistant enterotoxigenic escherichia coli are known to be common. eight (24%) of 33 volunteers taking placebo and 3 (10%) of 30 taking doxycycline developed travelers' diarrhea for a calculated protection of 59%, but ...19846391157
[demonstration of a proteolytic activity on intracellular origin in aeromonas hydrophila lp 50].aeromonas hydrophila lp 50, isolated from packaged pasteurized milk, was grown in glucose-polypeptone medium at 30 degrees c. the proteolytic activity of a. hydrophila lp 50, optimum at the stationary phase of growth, is attributed to extracellular or membrane protease; no intracellular proteolytic activity was shown.19846391644
