A bacteriological study was done on the stool of 240 infants and young children. Ninety nine (41 2%) cases were found to be positive for causative agents of gastroenteritis. Stool cultures were positive for bacteria in 40% and for parasite in 1.3% patients. Thirty per cent of the cases had enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), followed by Proteus morganii (47%), Shigella (2.0%), Salmonella (1-6%), P...

Using an electrochemical polymerization technique at room temperature, poly nicotine amide (PNA) was produced from the monomer (NA) in aqueous solution. The structure of polymer layer generated on stainless steel surface (316 L) (working electrode) is investigated by Fourier Transmission Infrared Region (FT-IR). anti-corrosion activity coating (SS 316 polarization 0.20M solution HCl 293-323K. g...

They are obtainable about comprehensions keen biofilm materialization determined through best-characterized stra...

diarrheal diseases can be caused by viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. this paper provides a preliminary image of diarrhea with regards to etiology and epidemiologic factors in tunisian children less than five years of age.overall, 124 diarrhoeal stools were collected from patients suffering from acute diarrhea and 54 stool samples from healthy children. all stools were examined for the...

background and objectives: loop-mediated isothermal amplification is a novel nucleic acid amplification assay providing as a simple diagnostic tool for rapid identification of microbial diseases in developing countries. in this study, a lamp assay was established for yersinia enterocolitica , a leading cause of acute enterocolitis in young children. materials and methods: lamp assay was establi...

Since the turn of the century, Escherichia coli has been implicated in the etiology of weanling diarrhea (colibacillosis). However, rotavirus--a virus that destroys enterocytes--has been shown recently to be causally associated with weanling diarrhea of pigs. The role of both rotavirus and hemolytic enteropathogenic E. coli in weanling diarrhea was assessed in this study. Pigs from a closed her...
