The activity of alkaline phosphatase of the striated border of enterocytes was studied experimentally in Syrian hamsters in the early stage of adsorption of Shigella zonnei on the epithelium of the small intestine and in a long-term dysentery infection. It was established that upon the direct effect
BACKGROUND
Spilanthes africana is a plant used in several countries for the treatment of toothache, malaria, fracture, pneumonia, and dysentery. In order to establish the safety of aerial part of the plant extract, the acute and sub-acute toxicity of the aqueous extract of this plant has been
The aqueous stem bark and leaf extracts of plant Euphorbia hirta (family-Euphorbiaceae) have potent molluscicidal activity. Sub-lethal doses (40% and 80% of LC50) of aqueous stem bark and leaf extracts of this plant also significantly (P<0.05) alter the levels of total protein, total free amino
The aqueous and serially purified latex extracts of plants Euphorbia pulcherima and Euphorbia hirta (family Euphorbiaceae) have potent molluscicidal activity. Sub-lethal doses (40 and 80% of LC(50)) of aqueous and partially purified latex extracts of both the plants also significantly alter the
Entry into cells is critical for virulence of the human bacterial pathogens Shigella spp. Shigella spp. induce membrane ruffle formation and macropinocytic uptake, but the events instigating this process are incompletely understood. The host small GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 6 (ARF6) functions in
Water quality and bacterial contamination from 18 drinking water municipal plants in three locations at Giza governorate were investigated. The average total count of bacteria detected after four stages of treatments in the investigated plants was 32 CFU/1 mL compared to 2330 cfu/mL for raw water,
Amoebic dysentery appears to be rare in the northeast of Tanzania. Hepatic amoebiasis, on the other hand, is apparently widespread since at least 200 cases are seen every year at the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre. This incidence of cases enabled us to carry out trials on the spot with a new
Cytoenzymatic and morphological methods were used to reveal local and general immunity disorders in patients with lingering and chronic dysentery. In this connection the therapeutic effect of the immunomodulator T-activin was estimated. 51 patients with the above forms of dysentery were examined.
Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns5P), the most recently discovered phosphoinositide, has been proposed to play a role as a lipid mediator of intracellular signaling. We have previously shown that PtdIns5P generated by IpgD, an effector of the causative agent of dysentery Shigella flexneri,
Socioeconomic status, clinical, laboratory and parasitological features of 31 hospitalized amebic liver abscess (ALA) and 8 amebic hepatitis (AH) patients were studied. Thirty-seven (94.9%) of the total 39 cases were from low socioeconomic class and 2 (5.1%) were from middle class (p<0.001). Sixteen
Shiga toxins (Stxs) are bacterial cytotoxins produced by the enteric pathogens Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and some serotypes of Escherichia coli that cause bacillary dysentery and hemorrhagic colitis, respectively. To date, approaches to studying the capacity of Stxs to alter gene expression in
