Prevalence of toxin types and colonization factors in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated during a 2-year period from diarrheal patients in Bangladesh
The prevalence of toxin types and colonization factors (CFs) of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was prospectively studied with fresh samples (n = 4,662) obtained from a 2% routine surveillance of diarrheal stool samples over... -
Innate immune responses in children and adults with Shigellosis
An array of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators of the innate immune system was analyzed in stool, urine, and rectal mucosa samples from adults and children with shigellosis to better understand their role in recovery from... -
An economic appraisal of alternative strategies for the delivery of MCH-FP services in urban Dhaka, Bangladesh
The strategy of distributing maternal and child health and family planning (MCH-FP) services at the doorsteps of the clients--through routine visits to the eligible couples by trained fieldworkers--has been instrumental in increasing the... -
Prenatal screening in rural Bangladesh: from prediction to care
The role of antenatal care is being increasingly questioned, particularly in resource poor environments. The low predictability of antenatal markers for adverse maternal outcomes has led some to reject antenatal care as an efficient... -
Etiology of sexually transmitted infections among street-based female sex workers in Dhaka, Bangladesh
An etiological study of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) was conducted among female sex workers (FSWs) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Endocervical swab and blood samples from 269 street-based FSWs were examined for Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Ch... -
Association of diarrhoea and upper respiratory infections with weight and height gains in Bangladeshi children aged 5 to 11 years
Abstract INTRODUCTION: The association between infection and growth delay is not well documented in school-age children in developing countries. We conducted a prospective cohort study to examine the association between inf... -
Safety and immunogenicity of an oral, inactivated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli plus cholera toxin B subunit vaccine in Bangladeshi adults and children
We have compared the B cell responses evoked in Bangladeshi, adults (n=11, median age 25 years) and children (n=21, median age 4.5 years), 7 days after intake of each of two doses of an oral, inactivated enterotoxigen... -
Intestinal immune responses in patients infected with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and in vaccinees
Immune responses against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) were examined in Bangladeshi adults with naturally acquired disease and compared to responses in age-matched Bangladeshi volunteers who had been orally immunized with a vaccine&... -
PCR detection, characterization, and distribution of virulence genes in Aeromonas spp
We found 73.1 to 96.9% similarity by aligning the cytolytic enterotoxin gene of Aeromonas hydrophila SSU (AHCYTOEN; GenBank accession no. M84709) against aerolysin genes of Aeromonas spp., suggesting the possibility of selecting common&#... -

The International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, is a major center for research into diarrheal diseases. The center treats more than 100,000 patients a year. To obtain useful information representative of all pa... -
Lipopolysaccharide- and cholera toxin-specific subclass distribution of B-cell responses in cholera
The immunoglobulin subclass responses to homologous lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to cholera toxin (CT) in adult patients infected with Vibrio cholerae O1 and V. cholerae O139 were studied. LPS-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASC) of b... -
Lysogenic conversion of environmental Vibrio mimicus strains by CTXPhi
The filamentous bacteriophage CTXPhi, which encodes cholera toxin (CT) in toxigenic Vibrio cholerae, is known to propagate by infecting susceptible strains of V. cholerae by using the toxin coregulated pilus (TCP) as its receptor&#x... -
Reproductive-tract infections in women in low-income, low-prevalence situations: assessment of syndromic management in Matlab, Bangladesh
In the control of reproductive-tract infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs), in low-income and middle-income countries, WHO recommends syndromic management for individuals with symptoms. This intervention was initially developed i... -
Use of the deuterated-retinol-dilution technique to assess total-body vitamin A stores of adult volunteers consuming different amounts of vitamin A
The deuterated-retinol-dilution (DRD) technique provides a quantitative estimate of total body stores of vitamin A. However, it is not known whether the technique can detect changes in vitamin A pool size in response to differe... -
Are breastfeeding promotion messages influencing mothers in Bangladesh : Results from an urban survey in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Despite the launching of a national breastfeeding promotion campaign in Bangladesh in 1989, exclusive breastfeeding rates remain low. To understand mothers' perceptions of the campaign messages and the reasons for current practices, ...
