Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology, Genetics, and Ecology of Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae
TL;DR: It appears that the continual emergence of new toxigenic strains and their selective enrichment during cholera outbreaks constitute an essential component of the natural ecosystem for the evolution of epidemic V. cholerae strains and genetic elements that mediate the transfer of virulence genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large epidemic of cholera-like disease in Bangladesh caused by Vibrio cholerae 0139 synonym Bengal
M. J. Albert,M. Ansaruzzaman,Pradip Kumar Bardhan,A. S. G. Faruque,Shah M. Faruque,M. S. Islam,Dilip Mahalanabis,R. B. Sack,M. A. Salam,A. K. Siddique,Mohammad Yunus,K. Zaman +11 more
TL;DR: A large epidemic of cholera-like disease in Bangladesh that is due to a V cholerae non-01 strain seems to have pandemic potential and is described, which suggests that the population has no previous immunological experience of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Enterotoxin Genes in Aeromonas spp. Isolated From Children with Diarrhea, Healthy Controls, and the Environment
M. J. Albert,M. Ansaruzzaman,Kaisar A. Talukder,Ashok K. Chopra,I. Kuhn,Motiur Rahman,Abu Syed Golam Faruque,Md. Shahedul Islam,R. B. Sack,Roland Möllby +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to indicate that the products of both the alt and ast genes may synergistically act to induce severe diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled study of Escherichia coli diarrheal infections in Bangladeshi children.
M. J. Albert,Shah M. Faruque,Abu Syed Golam Faruque,P. K. B. Neogi,M. Ansaruzzaman,Nurul A. Bhuiyan,K. Alam,M. S. Akbar +7 more
TL;DR: EPEC and ETEC are important causes of acute diarrhea in children in this setting and peaked during warm months, suggesting that EPEC strains of only the traditional serogroups were significantly associated with diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hafnia alvei, a probable cause of diarrhea in humans.
M. J. Albert,K. Alam,Moyenul Islam,J Montanaro,A S Rahaman,K. Haider,M. A. Hossain,A. K. M. G. Kibriya,Saul Tzipori +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that at least some strains of H. alvei have the potential to cause diarrhea and that attachment-effacement is a virulence characteristic shared by bacteria other than E. coli.
