Experience has shown that neither drugs nor vaccines can hope to solve the world's enteric disease problems. But oral-fluid therapy, which has sharply reduced cholera mortality, is proving effective in treating other enteric diseases as well. And most developing countries are making real progress in providing the safe water supplies and sanitary conditions that deny enteric pathogens an opportu...

The association between Gram negative enteric rods and Porphyromonas gingivalis in periodontal diseases has received little attention in the literature. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the associations between Gram negative enteric rods, Porphyromonas gingivalis and clinical parameters of periodontal disease. The prevalence of Gram-negative enteric rods and P. gingivalis were exa...

Waterborne disease remains a major public health problem in many countries. We report findings on nearly three decades of waterborne disease in Israel and the part these diseases play in the total national burden of enteric disease. During the 1970s and 1980s, Israel's community water supplies were frequently of poor quality according to the microbiological standards at that time, and the count...

Introduction Enteric fever—a more inclusive term for typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever—is a systemic infection caused by Salmonella enterica, including S enterica serotype Typhi (S typhi) and serotype Paratyphi (S paratyphi). Enteric fever is a faecal–oral transmissible disease and therefore is primarily a disease where overcrowding, poor sanitation, and untreated water are the norm. Until th...

There is a great deal of interest in characterizing the complex microbial communities in the poultry gut, and in understanding the effects of these dynamic communities on poultry performance, disease status, animal welfare, and microbes with human health significance. Investigations characterizing the poultry enteric virome have identified novel poultry viruses, but the roles these viruses play...

conclusions therefore, development of rapid diagnostic methods with suitable sensitivity and specificity is very important about this infectious disease. in this review, we will discuss some of the important diagnostic methods. context diarrhea is a common disease across the world. according to who, every year about two billion cases of diarrhea are reported in the world. it occurs mainly in th...

Central nervous system involvement is not rare and has a wide spectrum of presentation in enteric fever. Complications such as meningism, delirium, coma, and convulsions have been reported often. However, isolat...
