Structural elucidation of the O-antigen lipopolysaccharide from two strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides that share a type-specific antigen with Shigella flexneri 6, and the common group 1 antigen with Shigella flexneri spp and Shigella dysenteriae 1
Sugar and methylation analyses of native polysaccharides together with one-dimensional 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy revealed that the two polysaccharides from strains 22074 and 12254 of Plesiomonas shigelloides are identical. The structure of... -
Diagnosis of Giardia duodenalis infection in Bangladeshi infants: faecal antigen capture ELISA
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect antigens of Giardia duodenalis in faeces was evaluated as a diagnostic tool by testing faecal samples collected during a cohort study of 229 infants living in an urban ... -
Maternal and child health services: evaluating mothers' perceptions and participation
Urban mothers' perceptions and their actual practices in respect of antenatal care, postnatal care, childbirth and breast-feeding were reviewed through a predesigned questionnaire provided to all mothers (n = 114) staying for a ... -
Effects of biosocial variables on changes in nutritional status of rural Bangladeshi children, pre- and post-monsoon flooding
This study examined the effects of biosocial variables on changes in nutritional status of rural Bangladeshi children, aged less than 2 years, pre- and post-1987 monsoon flooding. Nutritional status was measured by weight for a... -
Gender and age differentials in risk factors for childhood malnutrition in Bangladesh
A case-control study of risk factors of clinical marasmus was undertaken to determine which factors differed according to gender and age groups. Case patients were children whose mid-upper arm circumference measured less than 110&#x... -
Common diarrhea pathogens and the risk of dehydration in young children with acute watery diarrhea: a case-control study
The role of common diarrheal pathogens in dehydration was examined in children with acute watery diarrhea who attended the treatment center of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, in Dhaka. Two hundr... -
Rapid detection of Shigella dysenteriae and Shigella flexneri in faeces by an immunomagnetic assay with monoclonal antibodies
A rapid and sensitive method for the detection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and Shigella flexneri serotypes in faeces based on capture of the bacteria with immunomagnetic particles is described. The particles were coated with... -
Small intestinal growth caused by feeding red kidney bean phytohemagglutinin lectin to rats
Plant lectins are present in significant quantity in a variety of food sources. The aim of this study was to determine if they stimulated growth of the intestine. METHODS: Germ-free and conventional rats were... -
Excess mortality for the unmarried in rural Bangladesh
Prospective data from the Matlab surveillance area in rural Bangladesh, 1974-1982, were used in this study to show that divorced and never-married adults (aged 15-44 years) had significantly higher mortality than their currently mar... -
Bacterial clump formation at the surface of liquid culture as a rapid test for identification of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli
Forty-one strains of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli formed clumps visible as a scum at the surface of a Mueller-Hinton broth shaker culture. Sixty-one control strains of E. coli did not. Scum formation is a simple, rapid,&#... -
Isolation of Shigella dysenteriae serotypes 11, 12, and 13 from patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh
Nine isolates of bacteria biochemically resembling Shigella dysenteriae but not belonging to the 10 recognized serotypes were isolated from patients with diarrhea in Bangladesh. Further studies suggested that two, one, and six isolates&#... -
Comparison of Vibrio cholerae serotype 01 strains isolated from patients and the aquatic environment
Vibrio cholerae 01 strains of El Tor and Classical biotypes and Ogawa and Inaba serotypes were isolated from both patients and pond water, the latter used by the patients from whom the V. cholerae 01 strains had ... -
Risk factors for clinical marasmus: a case-control study of Bangladeshi children
A case-control study of risk factors of clinical marasmus was undertaken to guide intervention efforts in rural Bangladesh. Cases were children whose mid-upper arm circumference measured < 110 mm and controls were children matche... -
Maternal nutritional status as a determinant of child health
To determine the relationship between the nutritional status of the mother and that of the child, 339 children aged 3-36 months and their mothers in two urban hospitals and a community out-patient clinic, were studied. The...
