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... -
Enteric adenovirus infection among infants with diarrhea in rural Bangladesh
A total of 4,409 stool specimens from infants less than 5 years of age seeking treatment for diarrhea in Matlab, Bangladesh, were tested for the presence of adenoviruses by using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA). EIA-positive s... -
Malabsorption of nutrients in children with diarrhoea due to unknown aetiologies
Intake and coefficient of absorption of nutrients were measured in 72 children during acute diarrhoea and 2 weeks after recovery. No diarrhoeal pathogens could be identified in 18 (25%) children (group I). Aetiology of diarrhoe... -
A monoclonal antibody to Shigella dysenteriae serotype 13 cross-reacting with Shiga toxin
A monoclonal antibody (mAb ICT6) was produced against the newly described Shigella dysenteriae serotype type 13. The mAb was of IgM isotype and recognized purified Shiga toxin in ELISA and immunoblot. It also recognized peripla... -
Localization of myosin heavy chain A in the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica
To recognize myosin II in trophozoites of the human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica, a specific antimyosin polyclonal serum was raised against a fusion protein consisting of a 146-amino-acid fragment of the myosin II heavy chain ... -
Malnutrition, cell-mediated immune deficiency, and diarrhea: a community-based longitudinal study in rural Bangladeshi children
A community-based longitudinal study was conducted in Matlab, a rural area of Bangladesh, from May 1988 to April 1989 to examine the associations among malnutrition, cell-mediated immune deficiency, and the incidence of diarrhea in&... -
Use of the polymerase chain reaction and fluorescent-antibody methods for detecting viable but nonculturable Shigella dysenteriae type 1 in laboratory microcosms
Epidemiological studies of shigellosis in Bangladesh have demonstrated that surface-water sources can act as foci of infection. Studies of laboratory microcosms have shown that shigellae become nonculturable but remain viable when exposed... -
Growth and survival of Shigella flexneri in common Bangladeshi foods under various conditions of time and temperature
Survival and growth of Shigella flexneri were assessed in various foods, including boiled rice, lentil soup, milk, cooked beef, cooked fish, mashed potato, mashed brinjal, and raw cucumber. Growth at 25 and 37 degrees C an... -
Albendazole as a treatment for infections with Giardia duodenalis in children in Bangladesh
Albendazole, a broad spectrum anthelmintic recently shown to be active in vitro against Giardia duodenalis, was given at 4 different dosages and compared with metronidazole in the treatment of children in Bangladesh infected with&#x... -
Enteric protein loss during shigellosis
To determine whether protein-losing enteropathy occurs during shigellosis, we measured concentrations of alpha 1-antitrypsin in sequential stool samples from 110 adults hospitalized with acute dysentery due to Shigella infection. Mean stool c... -
Levels and differentials in weight, height and body mass index among mothers in a rural area of Bangladesh
This study examined the variation in weight, height and body mass index of 1048 mothers living in a rural area of Bangladesh in relation to age, education, number of previous pregnancies, number of dead children, religion,... -
Diagnosis of pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica infection using a stool ELISA based on monoclonal antibodies to the galactose-specific adhesin
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against pathogen-specific epitopes of the galactose adhesin of Entamoeba histolytica were used in an ELISA to detect antigen from pathogenic E. histolytica. Single stool specimens from 74 patients in...
