ABSTRACT

Sixteen Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrhea patients, characterized as enteroinvasive (EIEC) by the keratoconjunctivitis test (Sereny test), and 15 non-EIEC strains, were studied. The aim of this study was to establish a possible correlation between the Sereny test and several other tests as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and biochemical markers, which are more easily accessible to general practice laboratories. Strains were assayed for the virulence marker antigen (the outer membrane proteins) by direct ELISA, biochemical tests, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and serotyping. Mean optical density (OD) values in the ELISA were 2.018 +/- 0.336 for EIEC strains, and 0.569 +/- 0.283 for non-EIEC strains. Difference between the OD values of the two groups was found to be significant at p < 0.01 by the one-tailed Student’s test. One (6.2


) of the 16 Sereny test-positive strains was negative by ELISA. Considered as a group, the EIEC strains are rather heterogeneous in their biochemical characteristics. Lysine decarboxylase test appeared as the most relevant assay, since all EIEC strains were negative for this enzyme, whereas 66.7


of non-EIEC strains were positive. Other helpful tests performed for strain characterization were: gas production from glucose and from glycerol, sucrose and salicin fermentation, and esculin hydrolysis (p < 0.01). However, strains behaviour was variable with these tests. Differences between both groups of strains with regard to mucate utilization and dulcitol fermentation was significative only to a 5


level. Antibiotic sensitivity patterns showed differences between EIEC and non-EIEC strains: 37.5


of the former vs 80


of the latter, were resistant to at least four of the antibiotics tested.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

ABSTRACT

El riesgo relativo a padecer de cancer colorectal despues de la colecistectomia, se investigo de manera retrospectiva en 124 pacientes con cancer intestinal, de los cuales 17 habian sido previamente colecistectomizados. El mismo numero de pacientes, sin cancer colorectal, se los apareo como controles segun edad y sexo, de los cuales 19 habian sido previamente colecistectomizados. El riesgo relativo sin discriminar sexo ni ubicacion del cancer fue de 0.87 con un intervalo confidencial del 90% de 0.43 a 1.73; en cambio al considerar la localizacion del cancer, el riesgo relativo para el cancer del H.D. fue de 7, con un intervalo confidencial del 90% de 1.12 a 155.46 (P < 0.05). La hipotesis que la colecistectomia aumente el riesgo a padecer de adenocarcinoma del hemicolon derecho necesita futuras investigaciones

ABSTRACT

Se estudiaron por taxonomia numerica 21 cepas de bacilos anaerobios Gram positivos empleandose ochenta caracteres morfologicos y bioquimicos. Se aplicaron dos metodos de codificacion (pesado y no pesado) y cuatro de agrupamiento (metodo de los pares no pesados usando promedios aritmeticos, metodo de ligamiento simple y metodo de ligamiento completo). Se obtuvieron ocho dendrogramas que muestran que Clostridium haemolyticum (cepas 1, 2, 4 y 7), C. subterminale (cepas 8 y 19), C. botulinum (cepa 14) y C. sporogenes (cepas 15) forman un grupo diferenciable de las restantes cepas. Outro grupo estaria constituido por C. perfringens (cepas 3, 5, 6, 12, 16 y 21) y C. paraperfringens (cepas 9, 10 y 11). De las cuatro cepas restantes la dos correspondientes a Propionibacterium acnes (cepas 17 y 18) guardan entre si una estrecha similitud. C. histolyticum (cepa 20) se une luego a un nivel muy inferior, mientras que C. butyricum (cepa 13) muestra un comportamiento variable. El ordenamiento obtenido es concordante con el dado por la taxonomia clasica

ABSTRACT

Se propone una clave dicotomica para la identificacion de ocho especies de Clostridium: Clostridium botulinum, C. butyricum, C. haemolyticum, C. histolyticum, C.paraperfringens, C. perfringens, C. sporogenes y C. subterminale, la cual requiere observacion microscopica por medio de la coloracion de Gram y ocho pruebas: produccion de catalasas, crecimiento en agar nutritivo, fermentacion de glucosa, movilidad, hidrolisis de gelatina, produccion de lecitinasas, hemolisis en agar sangre humana y la prueba de toxicidad en raton
