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 ... -

Antimicrobial resistance of Shigella isolates in Bangladesh, 1983-1990: increasing frequency of strains multiply resistant to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and nalidixic acid
The susceptibility to ampicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) was determined for 15,824 isolates of Shigella obtained from patients attending a treatment center in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 1983 through 1990 and for 520 isolates&... -
Pathogenesis of Providencia alcalifaciens-induced diarrhea
Providencia alcalifaciens is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. There are reports that P. alcalifaciens can cause diarrhea, but the mechanism(s) by which it causes diarrhea is known. We studied P. alcalifaciens isolated from... -
Rotavirus diarrhea in Bangladeshi children: correlation of disease severity with serotypes
To improve the understanding of the relative importance of serotypes of rotavirus in dehydrating diarrhea, we examined the correlation of clinical characteristics and disease severity with serotype in 2,441 diarrheal episodes among child...
