The lipopolysaccharide of moraxella catarrhalis structural relationships and antigenic properties
Moraxella catarrhalis has recently been shown to be both widespread and pathogenic, in contrast to previous reports. Several factors have been suggested as virulence factors, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) being one. Recent studies have shown&... -
Association of Vibrio cholerae O1 with the cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp., elucidated by polymerase chain reaction and transmission electron microscopy
It has been hypothesized that Vibrio cholerae is an autochthonous flora of the estuarine and brackish water environment. Zooplankton and phytoplankton have been considered as possible reservoirs. The present study was carried out in... -
Cost-effectiveness of family planning and maternal health service delivery strategies in rural Bangladesh
Two alternative service delivery strategies to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Bangladesh national Family Planning and Maternal and Child Health programme have been tested: (1) service delivery at cluster spots, a ce... -
Prototypal diarrheagenic strains of Hafnia alvei are actually members of the genus Escherichia
We analyzed five bacterial strains, designated 19982, 9194, 10457, 10790, and 12502, that were isolated from stool specimens of individuals with diarrheal illness by the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research in Dhaka, ... -
Childhood immunization coverage in zone 3 of Dhaka City: the challenge of reaching impoverished households in urban Bangladesh
A household survey of 651 children aged 12-23 months in Zone 3 of Dhaka City carried out in 1995 revealed that 51% of them had fully completed the series of childhood immunizations. Immunization coverage in slum house... -

A comprehensive assessment of the quality of immunization services in one major area of Dhaka City, Bangladesh
This report assesses the quality of service inputs, service processes and service outcomes (with the exception of coverage and effectiveness) for immunization services in Zone 3 of Dhaka City. The results indicate that in gener... -
Analysis of clinical and environmental strains of nontoxigenic Vibrio cholerae for susceptibility to CTXPhi: molecular basis for origination of new strains with epidemic potential
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains are lysogens of CTXPhi, a filamentous phage which encodes cholera toxin. The receptor for CTXPhi for invading V. cholerae cells is the toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP), the genes for which reside ... -
Epidemiology, genetics, and ecology of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae
Cholera caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae is a major public health problem confronting developing countries, where outbreaks occur in a regular seasonal pattern and are particularly associated with poverty and poor sanitation. The ... -
Impact of zinc supplementation on persistent diarrhoea in malnourished Bangladeshi children
