Abortive infection of Shigella dysenteriae P2 by T2 bacteriophage.
We have investigated some of the biochemical events that accompany the abortive infection by T2 of Shigella dysenteriae lysogenized with the temperate phage P2. After infection with T2, protein and RNA synthesis continued for 3 to 5 min. The virus-induced enzyme, deoxycytidylate hydroxymethylase was produced in reduced amounts (15% of normal), and the extent of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synth...
متن کاملSurvival of Shigella dysenteriae on fomites
Studies have shown that various objects, such as utensils, toys, and clothes, can serve as vehicles for transmission of Shigella spp. Shigellae can become viable but non-culturable (VBNC) when exposed to various environmental conditions as shown in earlier studies. The present study was carried out to detect VBNC Shigella dysenteriae type 1 on various fomites by direct viable counting, polymera...
متن کاملdetection of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 in Milk by Pcr
Shigellosis is the severest form of bacillary dysentery, a disease limited to humans and certain other primates. Conventional microbiological techniques used for the isolation and biochemical identification of microbes are timeconsuming as well as labour intensive. Due to the fastidious nature of Shigella and the lengthy culture time, a rapid and sensitive system for the detection of bacteria i...
متن کاملNovel strain of Shigella dysenteriae serotype 7 from India
We describe a strain of Shigella dysenteriae serotype 7 which had novel biochemical and genetic characters. Unlike other S. dysenteriae, it produced gas, fermented mannitol, was a late-lactose fermenter and harboured the set 1A and set 1B genes. The significance of such atypical strains is that they are difficult to identify. If such strains are missed, they could prove to be a serious public h...
متن کاملShigella dysenteriae Serotype 1, Kolkata, India
Since July 2002, bacteriologically confirmed shigellosis cases have increased, and multidrug-resistant Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 strains have reemerged in patients hospitalized with diarrhea in Kolkata, India. The isolated strains of S. dysenteriae 1 showed resistance to chloramphenicol (80%), ampicillin (100%), tetracycline (100%), co-trimoxazole (100%), nalidixic acid (100%), norfloxaci...
