Occurrence of a large plasmid in a strain of Plesiomonas shigelloides with cross-reactivity against Shigella sonnei
The plasmid profile of P. shigelloides SVC 01, strain with cross-reactivity with Sh. sonnei, (obtained from Dr Alf Lindberg, Stockholm University, Sweden), was assayed and compared with other local isolates of Plesiomonas spp. and&#... -
Prevalence of Plesiomonas shigelloides among diarrhoeal patients in Bangladesh
The incidence of Plesiomonas shigelloides among diarrhoeal patients attending the Dhaka Treatment Centre of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR, B) from January through December 1987, has been reported.... -
Lipopolysaccharide composition and virulence properties of clinical and environmental strains of Vibrio fluvialis and Vibrio mimicus
Vibrio mimicus strains W-26768 (stool isolate) and N-1301 (environmental isolate) and Vibrio fluvialis strains AA-18239 (stool isolate) and M-940 (environmental isolate) were studied for virulence properties and lipopolysaccharide composition. All ... -
Contraceptive use in Matlab, Bangladesh: the role of gender preference
Research in several Asian societies has suggested that sons are generally preferred over daughters. The implications of gender preferences for actual fertility behavior have not been adequately investigated, however. This analysis examines&#x... -
Blood cultures from Bangladeshi children with septicaemia: an evaluation of conventional, lysis-direct plating and lysis-centrifugation methods
The use of a laboratory-made lysis-direct plating and lysis-centrifugation (LDP/LC) device for blood cultivation has been compared with the conventional broth culture method in respect of speed and sensitivity in detecting organism(s)&#x... -
Disease profile in respect of health services of Upazila health complex
This study was carried out to identify the disease profile in relation to medical services at upazila health complex. Thirty different types of diseases were identified. Diarrhoeal diseases were found to be highest (53%), the&#... -
Protection from Shigella sonnei infection by immunisation of rabbits with Plesiomonas shigelloides (SVC 01)
Plesiomonas shigelloides, an organism commonly found in water, is only rarely associated with diarrhoea in man. P. shigelloides serotype O:17 (SVC O1), which is antigenically similar to Shigella sonnei, was found to be neither ... -
Occurrence of haemolysin producing Aeromonas species in the aquatic environment
A total of 532 environmental isolates of motile aeromonads were evaluated for their ability to produce haemolysins. Of those isolates tested, 68 (12.5%) and 18 (3.4%) were found to be alpha and beta haemolytic, respectively.&#x... -
Compliance with diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis immunisation in Bangladesh: factors identifying high risk groups
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate factors associated with non-compliance with having second vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis in a treatment centre in Dhaka to determine which children were most at risk of not ... -
Shigella-specific IgA in saliva of children with bacillary dysentery
To study the secretory immune response after Shigella infection, the anti-lipopolysaccharide and anti-Shiga-toxin response in saliva, obtained from children with confirmed shigellosis and healthy children, were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent... -
Identification of a myosin heavy chain gene from Entamoeba histolytica
The myosin heavy chain gene A, mhcA, from E. histolytica was identified by polymerase chain reaction. There is only one copy of this gene on the ameba genome. The mhcA gene encodes a 6 kb messenger RNA. The ... -
Community-based evaluation of the effect of breast-feeding on the risk of microbiologically confirmed or clinically presumptive shigellosis in Bangladeshi children
To assess the association between breast-feeding and the risk of microbiologically confirmed or clinically presumptive shigellosis, the authors performed a case-control analysis of Bangladeshi children younger than 3 years of age who wer... -
Characterization of Aeromonas caviae antigens which cross-react with Shigella boydii 5
Live and boiled cells of 16 strains of Aeromonas caviae, isolated from patients with diarrhea, agglutinated with Shigella boydii 5 antiserum in a slide test. Further studies with seven selected strains showed agglutination with ... -
Effects of food with two oral rehydration therapies: a randomised controlled clinical trial
To evaluate the impact of food on the efficacy of oral rehydration solution (ORS), a randomised, controlled clinical trial was conducted in 182 adults with cholera. After initial rehydration with an intravenous polyelectrolyte solut... -
Fluorescent antibody staining test for rapid diagnosis of Shigella dysenteriae 1 infection
An indirect fluorescent antibody test for rapid detection of Shigella dysenteriae 1 in diarrheal stools was developed. A diagnosis could be made within 90 min of submission of specimens to the laboratory. On comparison with...
