Blood Culture in Cholera
نویسندگان
چکیده
The blood was collected as early as possible after onset of symptoms. In two patients the blood was collected 3 hours after onset, in four 4 hours, in four 5 hours, in five 7 hours and in five 9 hours. In twenty of the patients therefore the blood was collected within 9 hours of the onset of symptoms, in the remaining six after longer periods. Approximately 5 c.cm. 9 blood was withdrawn under the usual aseptic conditions and inoculated into a bottle containing 100 c.cm. of peptone water. A few drops of the blood were also seeded on to nutrient agar. There was no growth of any organism from any of the samples.

We report a case of a cholera-like gastroenteritis subsequent with bacteremia in a healthy man following consumption of raw clams. Although we failed to recover the organism from the patient's stool culture, his blood culture was positive for a non-cholera toxin-producing yet cytotoxin-producing non-O1 and non-O139 Vibrio cholerae.

A reverse transcriptase-PCR strategy was developed for the detection of hog cholera virus. Hog cholera virus template was amplified from tissue culture fluids and from tissues and blood of infected pigs, but not from samples containing other pestiviruses. Restriction endonuclease analysis identified samples as historic or recent isolates.

Mono-specific antisera against Vibrio cholera Ogawa NIH-43 and Vibrio cholera Inaba 35-A3 were prepared from rabbit hyperimmune sera by absorbing against a heterologous strain. Using ammonium sulphate precipitation procedure, gamma globulins were purified and concentrated. To visualize antigen-antibody reaction, gamma globulins were conjugated to Staphylococcus aureus cowan-l (NCTC: 8325) ...
