T-related bacteriophages isolated from Shigella sonnei.
The properties of three T-related phages-35, 55, and 3201-isolated from Shigella sonnei were studied. They were similar with respect to morphology of plaques, duration of the latent periods, lysis inhibition effect, and serological characteristics. These phages closely resembled the T-even phages. Phages 3201, 35, and 55 had the same host range and receptor specificity as phage T2.
متن کاملMacrolide-Resistant Shigella sonnei
Shigella sonnei UCN59, isolated during an outbreak of S. sonnei in January 2007, was resistant to azithromycin (MIC 64 mg/L). The isolate contained a plasmid-borne mph(A) gene encoding a macrolide 2 -phosphotransferase that inactivates macrolides. Emergence of the mph(A) gene in S. sonnei may limit usefulness of azithromycin for treatment of shigellosis.
متن کاملColicine types of Shigella sonnei isolated in Hong Kong.
Two-hundred and twenty-five strains of Shigella sonnei isolated from sporadic cases of bacillary dysentery were subjected to colicine typing. The result showed that types 15 and 12 were the prevailing types in Hong Kong and two new types which did not fit in with the colicine patterns of the current types were observed. A marked increase in the numbers of strains concurrently resistant to chlor...
متن کاملShigella sonnei strains isolated from U.S. summer students in Guadalajara, Mexico, from 1986 to 1992.
Plasmid DNA analysis and antibiotic susceptibilities were used to study strains of Shigella sonnei isolated from U.S. travelers to Guadalajara, Mexico, over a period of seven years (1986 to 1992). One hundred sixty-one isolates were analyzed. By the use of cluster analysis, eight different plasmid profiles were identified during this interval. At any point in time, three to seven different plas...
متن کاملColicin typing of Shigella sonnei.
The colicin typing method for differentiating epidemic strains of Shigella sonnei was evaluated. Forty percent of the strains were untypable, but the method divides 60% of the strains into 15 established colicin types. The method has reasonably good reproducibility, but should not be interpreted with the same degree of confidence as some other characteristics such as serotypes. For this reason,...
