Abstract
In Japan, the incidence of gastrointestinal infections such as bacillary dysentery, and typhoid and paratyphoid fevers has decreased remarkably since the early 1960s. However, the incidence of bacterial food poisonings has not decreased greatly during the last twenty years (1, 2, 3). Moreover, the incidence of diarrheal diseases brought by overseas travellers to this country has recently tended to increase (4).
