Effect of growth condition on in-vitro susceptibility of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 killing by murine peritoneal macrophages
The intracellular fate of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 strains grown in casamino acid-yeast extract (CYE) broth and nutrient broth (NB) was studied in casein-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages. Virulent strains 14731 and W30864 culture... -
Seroepidemiological study of Epstein-Barr virus infection in Bangladesh
A seroepidemiological study was carried out on 502 sera to determine the prevalence of EBV infection in a group of Bangladeshi people (age range: 15 days-90 years). All sera were tested for IgG antibody to the EBV... -

Aeromonas trota strains, which agglutinate with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal antiserum, possess a serologically distinct fimbrial colonization factor
Pili of Aeromonas trota strain 1220, which agglutinates with Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal antiserum, were purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the subunit protein was estimated to be 20 kDa and the pl was 5... -
Dissociation between cytokine mRNA expression and protein production in shigellosis
In our study, infection with Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (n = 16) or Shigella flexneri in adults (n = 5) was associated with a gradual accumulation of mRNA for interleukin (IL)-1 beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha,&#x... -
