Antimicrobial susceptibilities of Shigella species isolated in Ontario in 1990.
Shigellosis is a disease which is recognized as a global problem with high morbidity in developing countries. Antimicrobial resistant Shigel/a spp. have been found in many parts of the world and resistant isolates have also been reported in Canada<304>.

متن کاملIn vitro susceptibilities of Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis to six new oral cephalosporins.
Of six new oral cephalosporins, cefixime and cefpodoxime were the most active (MIC for 90% of isolates tested [MIC90], 16 micrograms/ml) against Bordetella pertussis, followed by cefetamet, cefprozil, and loracarbef (LY163892) (MIC90, 64 micrograms/ml) and ceftibuten (MIC90, 128 micrograms/ml). Against Bordetella parapertussis, loracarbef was more active (MIC90, 32 micrograms/ml) than the other...

background pertussis is a highly communicable, vaccine-preventable respiratory disease; which may circulate even in populations with high vaccination coverage. although frequent, but it is often underestimated as a cause of prolonged cough illness in both children and adults. without boosting, the protection of the childhood vaccination would be minimal after 10 years. the need for adult booste...
متن کاملRegulation of pertussis toxin and lipopolysaccharide levels of Bordetella pertussis 134 in response to modulators
Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious disease of the human respiratory tract, which is caused by Bordetella pertussis. Reemerge of pertussis in some highly immunized populations and divergency in gene order among several B. pertussis strains promoted this research to study the change of pertussis toxin (PT) and lipopolysacharide levels in response to the different environments. Th...
