Infections carried in milk, particularly salmonellosis and campylobacter enteritis, have continued to feature in Great Britain in recent years. Less commonly reported infections included an outbreak in 1984 in England due to Streptococcus zooepidemicus, in which 12 people, eight of whom died, were admitted to hospital. The implementation of legislation in 1983 requiring heat treatment of cows' ...

The antibody response of patients with various infections has been utilized as an aid to diagnosis since the early days of scientific microbiology, as exemplified by the Widal, Wassermann, and Weil-Felix tests. A variety of serologic techniques have been used to this end. In our laboratories we have studied the antibody response by means of the passive bacterial hemagglutination test on patient...

Anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibodies have become an invaluable treatment against chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, due to increased risk of opportunistic infections, patients receiving anti-TNF therapy should be closely monitored for serious infections. Here, we describe a case of acute Salmonella_enteritidis infection of a joint arthro...

Some acute bacterial infections, notably those caused by the pneumococcus and the non-typhi salmonellae, have not traditionally been considered as leading diseases in tropical medicine, despite their ubiquitous distribution and impact on health. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is forcing a re-evaluation of this position because of their importance in immunosuppressed adults, particularly where exposure i...

Diarrhoea in growing pigs due to colitis is a major cause of financial loss to pig farmers and can lead to delays of 14 21 days in pigs reaching finishing weight. There are many causes of enteric disease in pigs from weaning to finishing, as shown in Table 1. These include infectious and non-infectious (or diet-associated) conditions. Some of the infectious causes for example Classical swine fe...

chronic granulomatous disease is an infrequent primary immunodeficiency characterized by defective intracellular killing of ingested microorganisms thereby making patients highly susceptible to recurrent lite threatening bacterial and fungal infections. in this study, we review the medical course of an 8 yr old girl with ar-cgd. she suffered from recurrent dermal and deep abscesses, retractable...

Salmonellosis is a common clinical and subclinical infection of pigs. The species adapted serovar S choleraesuis predominantly produces a septicemic disease in swine. Disease in other species, including humans, is rare compared to enteric type infections from non host adapted serovars such as S typhimurium. However, when host adapted serovars infect alternate species, disease can be severe. Vac...

Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg ranks among the most prevalent causes of human salmonellosis in the United States and Canada, although it has been infrequently reported in South American and European countries. Most Salmonella infections are self-limiting; however, some invasive infections require antimicrobial therapy. In this work we characterized an oxyimino-cephalosporin resistant S....

Salmonellosis is an acute intestinal infectious disease that belongs to the group of zoonoses cause toxic infections in humans through consumption products animal or plant origin contaminated with bacteria genus Salmonella spp. registered all countries world, and our state no exception.
