Studies on urinary carriage of enteric group organisms.

چکیده
ENTERIC carriers may excrete ~he organism in the freces or urine. In general, frecal excretion is commoner and more persistent than urinary (V ogelsang and Boe, 1948). In Egypt, however, various workers have emphasized the relative frequency and chronicity of urinary carriers (Ashton, 1947; Walton, 1949; Miller, 1950). Urinary schistosomiasis is common in Egypt, and its possible influence on the occurrence and persistence of urinary carriage requires further study. Urinary antibodies to the flagellar antigens of the enteric species carried were demonstrated in two Egyptian,chronic urinary carriers with schistosomiasis (Archer, Bangham, Dunbar and Ritchie, 1950). Egyptian food-handlers employed by 'the Army are examined before employo ment and annually thereafter for urin'ary carriage 'of enteric organisms. A number of carriers discovered during these routine examinations have been studied for pe'riods up to seventeen months, in order to investigate the regularity' and persistence of their excretion and to observe the numbers' of organisms passed and the relationship 6f schistosomiasis to urinary carriage. . The presence and regularity of occurrence of antibodies in their uri'ne has also been studied in order to assess the value of urinary antibody demonstration in the detection of urinary carriers.

Studies on Urinary Carriage of Enteric Group
The extensio~ of studies on Urinary Enteric Carriage in Egypt, and the ! aspects .of such carriage w~ich would receive particular' attention were announced in an earlier paper in which two cases exemplifying many of these aspects were described (Archer, Bangham, Dunbar, and Ritchie, 1950). With reference to the number of organisms passed by carriers, it was then suggested that it w~s desirable ...

Background The prevalence of enteric rods and their association with chronic periodontitis has gained prominence recently. Although the prevalence of these organisms from the subgingival plaque sample was reported in the literature, the carriage rate of these rods in our population is lacking. The present study was undertaken to know the carriage rate of enteric rods from our population in pati...

متن کاملCurrent prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms in long-term care facilities in the Rhine-Main district, Germany, 2013.
Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) and in particular multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms (MRGN) are an increasing problem in hospital care. However, data on the current prevalence of MDRO in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are rare. To assess carriage rates of MDRO in LTCF residents in the German Rhine-Main region, we performed a point prevalence survey in 2013. Swabs from nose, thr...
