Vibrio cholerae O139 produces a protease which is indistinguishable from the haemagglutinin/protease of Vibrio cholerae O1 and non-O1
Haemaglutinin/protease (HA/P) is one of the virulence factors of Vibrio cholerae O1 and pathogenic strains of V. cholerae non-O1. In this study, we examined protease activity of a new serogroup of Vibrio cholerae recently&... -
Bacterial translocation in the rat model of lectin induced diarrhoea
Red kidney beans were fed to weanling Long-Evans rats to cause diarrhoea (mean (SD) faecal wet weight: 2.66 (0.73) g/day in six rats fed beans v 1.12 (0.47) g/day in six control rats, p < 0.01) and i... -
Hypotonic oral rehydration solution in acute diarrhoea: a controlled clinical trial
In a controlled trial, a hypotonic oral rehydration solution (ORS) (Na+67, K+20, Cl-66, citrate 7, glucose 89 mmol/l osmolality 249 mosmol/kg) was compared with a standard WHO-ORS (Na+90, K+20, Cl-80, citrate 10, glucose 1... -
The influence of socio-biological factors on perinatal mortality in a rural area of Bangladesh
The present study considers data on all pregnancies that ended in a stillbirth or live birth in a rural area of Bangladesh during the years 1982 to 1984. It considers the relationships of both biological and socio-eco... -
The sisterhood method of estimating maternal mortality: the Matlab experience
This study reports the results of a test of validation of the sisterhood method of measuring the level of maternal mortality using data from a Demographic Surveillance System (DSS) operating since 1966 in Matlab, Bangladesh.&#x... -
The presence of bicarbonate in oral rehydration solution does not influence fluid absorption in cholera
On the basis of human perfusion studies it has been speculated that bicarbonate ions in oral rehydration salt solutions (ORS) to treat diarrhoea are more efficiently absorbed from the small bowel. We evaluated the role of&... -
Controlled study of cytolethal distending toxin-producing Escherichia coli infections in Bangladeshi children
The role of cytolethal distending toxin (CDT)-producing Escherichia coli, a newly described category of E. coli, in the causation of diarrhea was studied by screening E. coli isolates from 546 children < 5 years of age&... -

Characteristics of invasion of HEp-2 cells by Providencia alcalifaciens
Previous studies with three isolates from diarrhoeal stools suggested that Providencia alcalifaciens is an invasive enteric pathogen that also causes actin condensation in infected cells. These findings were extended in the present study... -
Evaluation of the monoclonal antibody-based kit Bengal SMART for rapid detection of Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal in stool samples
A monoclonal antibody-based test, Bengal SMART, was developed for rapid detection of Vibrio cholerae O139 synonym Bengal directly from stool specimens. The test, which takes about 15 min to complete, was used to screen 189 ... -
Cytokine secretion in acute shigellosis is correlated to disease activity and directed more to stool than to plasma
Stool and plasma cytokine levels in 60 adults with acute shigellosis were studied by EIA at various intervals (0-45 days) after onset of diarrhea. Cytokine levels correlated with severity of disease. Significantly higher levels ... -
Comparative trial of five antimicrobial compounds in the treatment of cholera in adults
To compare the efficacy of ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, nalidixic acid and pivmecillinam in the treatment of tetracycline-resistant strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 in adults, a randomized, open, clinical trial was conducted. A tetracycline ... -
Molecular subtyping of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O139 causing epidemic cholera in India and Bangladesh, 1992-1993
Since October 1992, > 150,000 cases of cholera have been reported from India and Bangladesh; the great majority of Vibrio cholerae isolates belong to the newly established serogroup O139. To better understand the interaction ... -
Persistence of local cytokine production in shigellosis in acute and convalescent stages
Shigella infection is accompanied by an intestinal activation of epithelial cells, T cells, and macrophages within the inflamed colonic mucosa. A prospective study was carried out to elucidate the cytokine pattern in Shigella infect... -
Public Health 1995 Jan;109(1):15-24
Inadequate handwashing after defecation and anal cleaning practices in the Indian subcontinent is an important source of faeco-oral transmission of enteric diseases. To better understand the process as traditionally practised, 90 women i... -
Survey of in vitro susceptibilities of Vibrio cholerae O1 and O139 to antimicrobial agents
Vibrio cholerae O139 (173 strains) and O1 (221 strains) were tested for their in vitro susceptibilities to 39 antimicrobial agents. Both O139 and O1 strains were highly susceptible to azithromycin, cephems, minocycline, penems, and&... -
Neonatal diarrhea caused by Vibrio cholerae 0139 Bengal
Cholera rarely occurs in children under 2 years of age. We describe diarrhea due to Vibrio cholerae 0139 Bengal, the newly described etiologic agent of cholera in a 4-day-old breast-fed baby. However, the diarrhea was mild...
