OBJECTIVE
The coumarin antibiotic novobiocin potentiates the activity of etoposide (VP-16) in vitro by increasing intracellular accumulation of VP-16. The drug efflux pump inhibited by novobiocin appears to be distinct from both of the major proteins associated with the multidrug resistance
BACKGROUND
Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is one of the most common diseases in children, particularly in those under the age of 5 years in whom a severe picture of hydroelectrolyte imbalance may be triggered accompanied, in most cases, by leukocyte response. The aim of this study was to evaluate three
Yersinia enterocolitica is a major foodborne pathogen and the third most important bacteriological cause of diarrhea in Germany. However, studies investigating the occurrence of human pathogenic Y. enterocolitica in food at the retail level are very rare. Most of the studies published so far show
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are responsible for human infections, ranging from mild watery diarrhea to hemorrhagic colitis (CH) that may be complicated by hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The main STEC virulence factor is Shiga toxin encoded by the stx gene, located in the genome
Epidemiologic evidence suggests that Plesiomonas shigelloides is an enteric pathogen. We conducted in vitro, animal, and volunteer studies on P. shigelloides isolates from patients with diarrhea. Five strains gave a negative keratoconjunctivitis reaction in guinea pigs and did not invade HeLa cells.
During the period from 1969 to 1973, a rectal swabs from 13.943 diarrhea patients of all ages were examined by bacteriological surveys. From these specimens, 981 strains of Shigella were isolated. The most commonly encounted were Shigella flexneri 2. All of strains of Shigella isolated were highly
Two cases of pseudomembranous colitis are presented. The first patient had been treated with novobiocin-tetracycline and penicillin, and two weeks later developed severe fulminating diarrhea with ascites and bilateral pleural effusions which did not respond to intravenous ACTH. Subsequently she
Enteropathogenic Yersinia are among the most frequent agents of human diarrhea in temperate and cold countries. However, the incidence of yersiniosis is largely underestimated because of the peculiar growth characteristics of pathogenic Yersinia, which make their isolation from poly-contaminated
Since May 1983, our laboratory has, upon request, cultured stools for Yersinia spp. by using direct plating on cefsulodin-irgasan-novobiocin agar and a 3-week cold enrichment procedure. We isolated bacteria identified as Y. intermedia from six adult patients. All isolates were recovered only by the
We studied the taxonomic, clinic, microbiological diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of Aeromonas strains. Eleven geno-species have been isolated in human. They can be enterotoxigenic or enteroinvasive. These bacteria can be easily confused with other Gram negative bacilli (the Aeromonas are
OBJECTIVE
To survey the prevalence severe diarrhea arising from these bacteria in children under 5 years old in Marvdasht.
METHODS
In this study faecal sample from 615 children aged <5 years old who were hospitalized for gastroenteritis in Fars hospitals in Iran were collected and then enriched in
