Prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Shigella species in Asmara, Eritrea, northeast Africa.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diarrheal diseases are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children in developing countries. Of the bacterial causes of dysentery, Shigella are the major enteropathogens with outbreak potential and common development of antimicrobial resistance. This study determined the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of different spp. of Shigella in Asm...
متن کاملPrevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns of Salmonella serovars and Shigella species
Background: Salmonellosis and shigellosis are global human health problems, especially in developing countries such as Ethiopia, where substandard hygiene and unsafe water supplies prevail which is aggravated by multidrug resistance. We determined the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Salmonella and Shigella isolates among diarrheic patients. Which helps in disease managem...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella, 2015 and 2016
Hospital and community laboratories are requested to refer all Shigella isolates from cases of shigellosis to ESR for serotyping and biotyping as part of the laboratory-based surveillance of this disease. The antimicrobial susceptibility of viable, non-duplicate Shigella isolates referred to ESR in 2015 and 2016 was tested. This is the first antimicrobial susceptibility survey of Shigella that ...
متن کاملSurveillance of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns among Shigella Species Isolated in China during the 7-Year Period of 2005-2011
BACKGROUND Shigella is a frequent cause of bacterial dysentery in the developing world. Treatment with antibiotics is recommended for shigellosis, but the options are limited due to globally emerging resistance. This study was conducted to determine the frequency and pattern of antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella in China. METHODS We studied the antimicrobial resistance profiles of 308 S...
متن کاملPrevalence of Shigella Serogroups and Their Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns in Southern Trinidad
The serogroup distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of Shigella isolates obtained from stool specimens of persons with acute diarrhoea in community-based studies from southern Trinidad during 1997-2006 were reviewed. Of the 5,187 stool specimens, 392 (8%) were positive for Shigella organisms. From these 392 isolates, 88.8% were recovered from children aged >0-10 year(s). Shigel...
