Monoclonal antibodies specific for the bundle-forming pilus of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli[short note]
The bundle-forming pilus (BFP) produced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is associated with the presence of a large EPEC adherence factor plasmid and the formation of localized adherence clusters on tissue culture cells. ... -
Working women, maternity entitlements, and breastfeeding: a report from Bangladesh
Early infant feeding practices and facilities available for supporting breastfeeding in workplaces in Dhaka, Bangladesh were studied through interviews with working women (n = 238) with children younger than 30 months of age. Of... -
Prevalence and association of the longus pilus structural gene (lngA) with colonization factor antigens, enterotoxin types, and serotypes of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli
Human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) produces a plasmid-encoded type IV pilus termed longus (for long pilus). Regardless of the geographic origins of ETEC strains, the longus structural gene lngA was found to have the ... -
Rapid diagnosis of Entamoeba infection by using Entamoeba and Entamoeba histolytica stool antigen detection kits
Humans are infected by two morphologically identical species of Entamoeba: Entamoeba histolytica causes amebic colitis and liver abscess, and Entamoeba dispar is noninvasive. Several weeks of culture and isoenzyme (zymodeme) analysis are ... -
Enteric protein loss and intestinal permeability changes in children during acute shigellosis and after recovery : effect of zinc supplementation
The effect of zinc supplementation on intestinal permeability changes and protein loss was studied in 32 children aged between 1 and 12 years during bouts of acute shigellosis and after recovery. An intestinal permeability test... -
Infectious agents causing acute watery diarrhoea in infants and young children in Bangladesh and their public health implications
We studied the age specific distribution of enteropathogens in young children presenting at a large diarrhoeal diseases hospital in urban Bangladesh. A 5 per cent systematic sample was used to examine 1207 rectal swab specimens... -
Multiple-drug-resistant Salmonella gloucester infections in Bangladesh
We describe three different cases of extraintestinal infections caused by multidrug-resistant Salmonella gloucester from Bangladesh that were associated with bad prognoses. These clinical manifestations were not previously reported for S. gloucester -
Studies on the bacterial flora of fish which are potential pathogens for human. Virulence factors of potential human pathogen isolated
Tests for various virulence factors, such as production of haemolysin on sheep blood agar plate, cytotoxin on HeLa cell line and enterotoxin in GM-1 ELISA and suckling mouse assay model, were done among the various strains... -
Use of rice-based oral rehydration solution in a large diarrhoea treatment centre in Bangladesh: in-house production, use and relative cost
Glucose-based oral rehydration salt (ORS) is an appropriate and cost-effective tool to treat diarrhoeal dehydration. In patients with a high purging rate, particularly due to cholera, rice-based ORS has been shown to substantially r... -
Structural studies of the Shigella boydii type 5 O-antigen polysaccharide
The structure of the Shigella boydii type 5 O-antigen polysaccharide has been investigated by sugar and methylation analyses, and specific degradations. It is proposed that it is composed of hexasaccharide repeating units with the&#... -
Double-blind comparison of oral gentamicin and nalidixic acid in the treatment of acute shigellosis in children
To compare the efficacy of oral gentamicin with nalidixic acid in the treatment of acute shigellosis, we studied, in a double blind-trial, 79 comparable children with bloody diarrhoea of less than 72 h duration. Of them&#x... -
Worker-client exchanges and contraceptive use in rural Bangladesh
In this article, longitudinal data from rural Bangladesh are used to assess the impact of household visits from family planning workers on contraceptive use. A panel of women was interviewed in a demographic survey and rei... -
Detection of 4-quinolone resistance mutation in gyrA gene of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 by PCR
To study 4-quinolone resistance, the N-terminal coding region of gyrA from nalidixic acid-susceptible and -resistant isolates of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 was amplified by PCR, cloned, and sequenced. DNA sequence analysis of gyrA ...
