Changing epidemiology of shigellosis and emergence of ciprofloxacin-resistant Shigellae in India.
Shigellosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in India. In contrast to what was reported for the developed world and Iran (1), where Shigella sonnei is common, the occurrence of nalidixic acid resistance is low, and no isolates have been determined to be resistant to fluoroquinolones, for the Indian subcontinent, Shigella flexneri continues to be the most common serogroup isolate...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance in Shigellosis, Cholera and Campylobacteriosis
Cholera is caused by strains of V. cholerae O1 or O139. V. cholerae has many serotypes, but only toxigenic strains (which produce cholera toxin, or CT) belonging to these two serotypes have caused epidemic diarrhoea. V. cholerae belongs to the Vibrionaceae family of bacteria, which are normal inhabitants of fresh and salt water; thus, an understanding of cholera requires an understanding of the...
متن کاملEpidemiology of shigellosis in Lagos, Nigeria: trends in antimicrobial resistance.
Antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella spp. and Escherichia coli, isolated from diarrhoeal patients in Lagos, was studied from March 1999 to February 2000. Four hundred fifty-nine isolates were identified as shigellae (62) and E. coli (397). Shigella flexneri, S. dysenteriae, S. boydii, and S. sonnei accounted, respectively, for 51.6%, 17.7%, 17.7%, and 13% of the total number of shigellae is...
متن کاملMagnitude of drug resistant shigellosis in Nepalese patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Shigella plays an important role as a causative organism of acute gastroenteritis, in children and others. Rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance warrants continuous monitoring of susceptibility pattern of bacterial isolates. We report here our findings about Shigella spp. isolates and their drug resistance patterns in Nepalese patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The s...
