Laboratory observations on Plesiomonas shigelloides strains isolated from children with diarrhea in Peru.
Eleven strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from 10 Peruvian children with diarrhea were examined. All the strains were resistant to two or more antibiotics, most commonly ampicillin, gentamicin, erythromycin, kanamycin, and streptomycin. The strains were all negative in the Sereny and cell culture assays used to test for enteroinvasiveness. One strain showed cytotoxic activity on Vero ...
متن کاملFlagellation in Plesiomonas Shigelloides Strains
In total, 131 strains of Plesiomonas shigelloides isolated from various sources were tested for peritrichous flagella by a flagella staining method. When incubated on a solid medium for 18 hr at 25 C, peritrichous flagella were demonstrated in 89(68%) of them. With an electron microscope, the peritrichous flagella were clearly distinguished from the lophotrichous ones by their wavelength.
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Plesiomonas shigelloides from patients with diarrhea.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed on 72 fecal isolates of Plesiomonas shigelloides from patients with diarrhea by using a standard agar dilution technique. All isolates were obtained from a single geographic location. Based on the in vitro activities demonstrated in this study, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim may be effective as oral agents in the treatment of P. s...

متن کاملDiarrhea due to Plesiomonas shigelloides in cancer patients.
Plesiomonas shigelloides was isolated from the stools of two patients with gastrointestinal malignancies and from one "healthy" patient with diarrhea. No other enteric pathogens were isolated. One patient was neutropenic after antineoplastic chemotherapy. The two cancer patients had crampy abdominal pain and severe diarrhea and required antibiotic therapy for resolution of symptoms. The third p...
