Characterization of endemic Shigella flexneri strains in Somalia: antimicrobial resistance, plasmid profiles, and serotype correlation.
One hundred twelve Shigella flexneri strain isolated from children with diarrheal disease in Somalia in 1983, 1984, 1988, and 1989 were analyzed for serotype, plasmid profile, and genetic location of antimicrobial resistance determinants. The prevalent serotypes were 4 (46% of the isolates), 1b (16%), 2a (16%), 3a (12%), and 6 (8%). Each serotype was associated with a characteristic predominant...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance of Shigella flexneri Serotype 1b Isolates in China
Shigella flexneri serotype 1b is among the most prominent serotypes in developing countries, followed by serotype 2a. However, only limited data is available on the global phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of S. flexneri 1b. In the present study, 40 S. flexneri 1b isolates from different regions of China were confirmed by serotyping and biochemical characterization. Antimicrobial suscept...
متن کاملPlasmid Profile Analysis and Antimicrobial Resistance Pattern of Shigella flexneri Strains Isolated From Azad Kashmir, Pakistan
This study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of 584 Shigella flexneri isolated from diarrheal patients admitted in hospitals in Azad Kashmir Pakistan and to evaluate their changing trends against twenty antibiotics. The isolates showed highest resistance against penicillin followed by carbenicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, ceftizoxime, kanamy...
متن کاملPrevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Shigella flexneri serotype 2 variant in China
Shigella flexneri serotype 2 variant (II:3,4,7,8) was isolated in 2008 and first reported in China in 2013. In the present study, epidemiological surveillance from 2003 to 2013 in China suggested that this serotype first appeared in Guangxi in 2003; it then emerged in Shanghai and Xinjiang in 2004 and in Henan in 2008. Of the 1813 S. flexneri isolates, 58 S. flexneri serotype 2 variant strains ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and analysis of high-level multidrug-resistance of Shigella flexneri serotype 4s strains from China
To conduct the first comprehensive analysis of Shigella flexneri serotype 4s, a novel serotype found in 2010, we identified 24 serotype 4s isolates from 1973 shigellosis cases in China (2002-2014). The isolates were characterized by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) phylogenetic analysis, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to determine their genetic...
