Short Incubation Period

The syndrome described by Dr. Garrison is consistent with the ingestion of enterotoxin produced by staphylococci or to acute allergic constitutional reaction to ingested foods (Pediatrics, 29: 129, 1962). The short incubation period, type of gastrointestinal symptoms, accompanied by prostration, evidence of circulatory shock, followed by recovery, could be produced by either. To confirm the staphylococcal enterotoxin diagnosis it is most important to save the suspected food—test it for the presence of staphylococcal enterotoxin or other toxic products and to identify all organisms present.

BACKGROUND On 10 September 2021, Al-Ahsa General Health Directorate reported unexpected number of patients had presented with gastrointestinal symptoms. All the patients gave a history of sharing a common meal as they ate from dinner was served at the mother's house the day before. OBJECTIVE We investigated to verify the outbreak, determine its magnitude, identify the source and implement control measures. METHODS A retrospective cohort design was conducted. Cases were defined as any person who ate dinner at the family gathering on the 9th of September 2021 and developed any or a combination of the following symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or abdominal pain within 26 hours of food consumption. We collected information on demographics, symptoms, and food history using a semi-structured questionnaire. We reviewed hospital records for symptoms and Vital sings. We reviewed available laboratory results for cases, we conducted active case search to identify more cases. statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 21.0. RESULTS Twenty subjects were defined as cases (74%) and seven as non-cases (26%). among cases, 16 were females (80%), and 4 were males (20%). The ages ranged between 2–70 years. Among cases (59.3%) had vomiting, (59.3%) had a fever, (48.1%) developed diarrhea, (25%) abdominal pain. The incubation period ranged from 10-26 hours (mean 17.8). The relative risks and p- value were calculated for food items to assess the association between consumption of individual food items and subsequent illness. Among 8 food items consumed, red pasta with chicken (Relative Risk RR= 3.14, 95% CI = 3.2-424.6) and pizza (RR= 1.73, 95% CI = 1.74-42.2) were significantly associated with illness. CONCLUSIONS According to the epidemiological investigation, symptoms, incubation period, and laboratory results there might be some differential diagnosis, but we were unable to more definitively identify the source of the outbreak. We recommend more education to the households about food safety

AbstractGlutathione metabolism represents a prospective target for antifilarial drug design, and therefore, the alterations in glutathione (GSH) content of filarial worms by known mammalian GSH depletors i.e. dimethylmaleate (DMM) and phorone were first thought for investigation in model filarial worms Setaria cervi. The dose dependent GSH depletion was achieved when these worms were incubated at 37°C for 6 h in Hanks balanced salt solution with varying concentrations (10–250 μM) of DMM or phorone. During the short incubation period of 6 h, 250 μM of DMM and phorone declined more than 90 % of the GSH content of filarial worms.

Short Incubation Period

The idea of having the means of applying the Anti-rabic treatment of Pasteur in Shanghai, China, had its origin in the marked incidence of rabies among the numerous dogs of the Shanghai district and the consequent large mortality from this disease. The local condition was the more marked because of the short incubation period observed in Shanghai both in the human subject and in the rabbit inoculated from the rabid dog, being seldom much over a month in man and rarely over two weeks in rabbits inoculated subdurally.

The goal of the research was to assess the inhibitory effects of  hop extracts, iso-α and β acids, against Pediococcus pentosaceus bacteria, during a short incubation period, both in liquid selective media (high pH values) and beer wort fermentation (low pH values) and testing if the identified iso-α acid stress changes the activity of S. cerevisiae boulardii yeast and ethanol production. Flow cytometry analysis was used for bacterial and yeast cell viability. In relation to the antibacterial activity of β-acids, a lower viability of Pediococcus pentosaceus cells was observed after a short incubation period in selective media, under iso-α acid stress. In beer wort, for a mixed culture with P. pentosaceus bacteria and S. cerevisiae boulardii yeast, under iso-α acid stress conditions at pH 4.0-5.0, Pediococcus pentosaceus exhibited lower cell viability (20.7%) than in selective media (61.4%). Regarding iso-α hop acid on S. cerevisiae boulardii yeast, the results showed that iso-α does not change the S. cerevisiae activity but prevents the culture from being contaminated by Pediococcus pentosaceus. The results highlighted reliable inhibitory effects of iso-α and β-acids against P. pentosaceus, both at pH 6.0-7.0 and pH 4.0-5.0, which open the possibility of hops being used as a supplement to prevent beverage contamination with spoilage microorganisms.   ********* In press - Online First.
