Pathogenesis of Providencia alcalifaciens-induced diarrhea.
Providencia alcalifaciens is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae. There are reports that P. alcalifaciens can cause diarrhea, but the mechanism(s) by which it causes diarrhea is known. We studied P. alcalifaciens isolated from a child and two adults with diarrhea for enteropathogenicity. The three isolates did not exhibit any characteristic adherence to cultured HEp-2 cell monolayers, and...

متن کاملO-serotyping Providencia alcalifaciens.
The O-serotyping scheme for Providencia was tested on Providencia alcalifaciens isolates collected mostly from two hospitals. The specificites of the somatic (O) antigens of P. alcalifaciens were found to be different from those of Providencia stuartii, and separation of the Providencia typing scheme to allow separate typing of each species led to more efficient typing. All but 4 of 86 isolates...
متن کاملA large outbreak of foodborne infection attributed to Providencia alcalifaciens.
The enteropathogenicity of Providencia alcalifaciens, a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae, has not yet been well established. In November 1996, a large outbreak of foodborne infection occurred in Fukui, Japan. In this study, the etiology of the outbreak was investigated. No other recognized enteropathogens were detected in patient fecal samples, but P. alcalifaciens was detected in 7 of 1...
متن کاملMolecular characterizations of cytolethal distending toxin produced by Providencia alcalifaciens strains isolated from patients with diarrhea.
Cytolethal distending toxins (CDTs), which block eukaryotic cell proliferation by acting as inhibitory cyclomodulins, are produced by diverse groups of Gram-negative bacteria. Active CDT is composed of three polypeptides--CdtA, CdtB, and CdtC--encoded by the genes cdtA, cdtB, and cdtC, respectively. We developed a PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay for the detection and differen...
