Multidrug-Resistant Shigella dysenteriae Type 1: Forerunners of a New Epidemic Strain in Eastern India?
zoonosis in the very first phase but later has spread in the human population as a typical anthroponosis and caused the present pandemic. Similarly, pandemic strains of influenza developed through an antigenic shift from avian influenza A viruses. For some etiologic agents or their genotypes, both animals and humans are concurrent reservoirs (hepatitis virus E, Norwalk-like calicivirus, enterop...
متن کاملEmergence of multidrug-resistant Shigella dysenteriae type 1 causing sporadic outbreak in and around Kolkata, India.
Shigella dysenteriae type 1 is known to cause epidemics of bacillary dysentery worldwide. In 1984, an extensive outbreak of bacillary dysentery swept through several districts of West Bengal, including the state capital Kolkata, and subsequently, spread to other parts of India (1). Multidrug-resistant S. dysenteriae type 1 was identified as the sole aetiological agent in this outbreak. In the l...
متن کاملClonal multidrug-resistant Shigella dysenteriae type 1 strains associated with epidemic and sporadic dysenteries in eastern India.
Multidrug-resistant strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 were implicated in three outbreaks and sporadic cases of dysentery in eastern India in 2002 and 2003. After a hiatus of 14 years, this pathogen reemerged with an altered antibiotic resistance pattern. In addition to ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and nalidixic acid, all the recent strains were resistant to no...
متن کاملDoes treatment of bloody diarrhea due to Shigella dysenteriae type 1 with ampicillin precipitate hemolytic uremic syndrome?
Diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), the most common cause of acute renal failure in infancy and childhood, is often associated with infection by organisms producing Shiga toxin (ST) or Shiga-like toxin (SLT), mainly verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC O157:H7) and Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (1,2). Although antibiotics are believed to be essential in treating shigell...
متن کاملMolecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant Shigella dysenteriae type 1 causing dysentery outbreaks in Central African Republic, 2003-2004.
Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (Sd1) represents a particular threat in developing countries because of the severity of the infection and its epidemic potential. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing and molecular subtyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and plasmid profiling (PP) of Sd1 isolates collected during two dysentery outbreaks (2013 and 445 cases of bloody diarrhoea) in Central...
