An evaluation of the pooling method for detecting enterotoxigenic escherichia coli
The effectiveness of the common practice of using a mixture (pool) of bacterial colonies for detecting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was evaluated. Pools were constructed with E. coli whose phage lysotypes were known. Afte... -
Isolation of campylobacter jejuni from diarrhoea patients in eastern provence of Saudi Arabia
Stool or rectal swab specimens from 607 patients attending the Diarrhoea Control Centre at Dammam, Saudi Arabia, were cultured for Campylobacter jejuni and some other bacterial enteric pathogens from July 1983 to January 1984. ... -
A transferable resistance plasmid in vibrio cholerae and escherichia coli isolated from the same patient
This study attempted to determine whether or not resistance plasmids present in Vibrio cho/erae and Escherichia co/i isolated from the same patient with diarrhoea were identical. Both species were resistant to ampicillin, kanam... -
Toxigenicity and drug sensitivity of vibrio mimicus isolated from fresh water prawns in Bangladesh
Eight isolates of Vibrio mimicus from 20 prawns (Macrobrachium malcolmsonii) obtained from fresh water in Bangladesh were tested for enterotoxin production and antibiotic sensitivity. Six of the eight isolates (75%) induced fluid accumul... -
Enterotoxigenic properties of vibrio fluvialis (group F vibrio0 isolated from clinical and environmental sources
Toxigenic Vibrio -fluvialis {formerly Group F vibrio) have been isolated from both clinical and environmental sources in Bangladesh and the United States. Phenotypic and toxigenic characteristics of strains isolated from patients and the... -
Stool cyclic AMP in diarrhoea due to different casuative organisms
Cyclic adenosine 3, 5'- monophosphate (cAMP) was determined in stools of 24 patients at Dhaka, Bangladesh (December 1980-June 1982), with acute watery diarrhoea caused by Vibrio cholerae. Escherichia coli producing heat-labile enteratoxin... -
Electropherotypes of ds-RNA of rotavirus in infants and young children with gastroentrities in Bangladesh
One hundred suspected rotavirus stools, collected at the hospital of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, from January 1982 to March 1984, were examined by the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) te... -

Detection of heat-labile enterotoxin-producing escherichia coli strians by a staphylococcal coagglutination technique
Culture filtrates of 50 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from children with diarrhoea were tested for heat-labile enterotoxin (LT). by the staphylococcal coagglutination technique in a slide and capillary tube. The results were ... -
Prepration and quality control of hand-packaged oral rehydration salt sachets
The feasibility of a simple method for preparation of oral rehydration salt (ORS) packets suitable for cottage industry-scale production over a 3-year period was tested. Each packet contained ingredients for making a liter of O... -
Socioeconomic differentials of diarrhoea morbidity and mortality in selected villages of Bangladesh
In an attempt to examine the possible effects of socioeconomic factors on diarrheal disease in terms of 1) number of household episodes, 2) hospitalizations, and 3) fatalities, data from the Matlab study area, Camilla District,...
