Shigella Antimicrobial Drug Resistance Mechanisms, 2004-2014.
To determine antimicrobial drug resistance mechanisms of Shigella spp., we analyzed 344 isolates collected in Switzerland during 2004-2014. Overall, 78.5% of isolates were multidrug resistant; 10.5% were ciprofloxacin resistant; and 2% harbored mph(A), a plasmid-mediated gene that confers reduced susceptibility to azithromycin, a last-resort antimicrobial agent for shigellosis.
متن کاملMechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance
There is no doubt that antimicrobial agents have saved the human race from a lot of suffering due to infectious disease burden. Without antimicrobial agents, millions of people would have succumbed to infectious diseases. Man has survived the accidental wrath of microorganisms using antimicrobial agents and other mechanisms that keep them at bay. Hardly years after the discovery and use of the ...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Antimicrobial Resistance
In the last 50 years bacteria have demonstrated a remarkable ability to develop and share resistance to every antibiotic that has been developed, often by quite unexpected mechanisms and much more readily than was originally predicted (Spratt, 1994). Antibiotic resistant bacteria can live and multiply in the presence of therapeutic levels of antibiotics. They can be resistant in their natural s...
متن کاملMechanisms of Drug Resistance
Progress of research into the problem of resistance to antibiotics is held back by lack of knowledge of the biochemical mechanisms by which these drugs act. Fortunately, it is possible to study some of the mechanisms of drug resistance, even at a biophysical or biochemical level, without necessarily knowing very much about how the drug works—just as it is possible to study (at least at a biolog...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms among Campylobacter
Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are recognized as the most common causative agents of bacterial gastroenteritis in the world. Humans most often become infected by ingesting contaminated food, especially undercooked chicken, but also other sources of bacteria have been described. Campylobacteriosis is normally a self-limiting disease. Antimicrobial treatment is needed only in patient...
