Enrichment for Plesiomonas shigelloides from stools.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bile peptone broth and alkaline peptone water (pH 8.5) were examined as enrichment media for the isolation of Plesiomonas shigelloides from stools, with salmonella-shigella agar as the isolation medium. After 423 parallel examinations in two different experiments, bile peptone broth enrichment for 24 h was observed to be six times more effective (P less than 0.01) than direct plating alone on salmonella-shigella agar. Bile peptone broth was found to be twice as effective as alkaline peptone water for the recovery of P. shigelloides from stools.

Isolation of Plesiomonas shigelloides from nutrient broth with brilliant green: its use in screening stool samples from an African population.
The suitability and selectivity of nutrient broth with bile salts and varying concentrations of brilliant green as an enrichment medium was tested for the isolation of Plesiomonas shigelloides from faeces. The broth was most effective at a concentration of 0.001 g/l brilliant green, using faeces deliberately contaminated with Plesiomonas. Two hundred and nineteen faecal samples from Nigeria wer...
متن کاملRapid and Sensitive Detection of Plesiomonas shigelloides by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification of the hugA Gene
Plesiomonas shigelloides is one of the causative agents of human gastroenteritis, with increasing number of reports describing such infections in recent years. In this study, the hugA gene was chosen as the target to design loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for the rapid, specific, and sensitive detection of P. shigelloides. The performance of the assay with reference plasmid...
متن کاملRapid and sensitive detection of Plesiomonas shigelloides by cross-priming amplification of the hugA gene
Plesiomonas shigelloides (P. shigelloides) is implicated as an aetiological agent of human gastroenteritis in humans, for which reliable laboratory detection of P. shigelloides is clinically and epidemiologically desirable. A simple molecular method for rapid detection of P. shigelloides using cross‑priming amplification (CPA) has been developed, with hugA as the target. The hugA gene is requir...
متن کاملDiarrhea due to Plesiomonas shigelloides in cancer patients.
Plesiomonas shigelloides was isolated from the stools of two patients with gastrointestinal malignancies and from one "healthy" patient with diarrhea. No other enteric pathogens were isolated. One patient was neutropenic after antineoplastic chemotherapy. The two cancer patients had crampy abdominal pain and severe diarrhea and required antibiotic therapy for resolution of symptoms. The third p...

The present study was conducted to investigate the incidence of the pathogens Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides in 700 seafoods (400 raw fish, 100 raw shrimps and 200 raw mollusks) collected from retailers. Isolations were performed by conventional culture methods. The isolates were also confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. A. hydrophila and P. shigelloides were ...
