The Emergence of Quinolone Resistant Shigella sonnei, Pondicherry, India
Ciprofloxacin resistant Shigella sonnei across the globe have been increasing alarmingly. In order to understand the emergence of S.sonnei with respect to ciprofloxacin resistance in our patient population, the following study was carried out. Of the 184 Shigella sp. Isolated from 2012 to 2015, 34 S.sonnei which were confirmed by standard methods and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility te...
متن کاملAmpicillin resistance of Shigella sonnei.
The ampicillin resistance of clinical isolates of Shigella sonnei is due to beta-lactamase production. Two kinds of resistance are found: low level, nontransmissible; and high level, tranmissible. The nontransmissible type of resistance results from a chromosomal mutation which increases the production of a beta-lactamase that hydrolyses cephalosporins relatively rapidly and gives cephalothin r...
متن کاملEmergence of Plasmid-Borne dfrA14 Trimethoprim Resistance Gene in Shigella sonnei
The most common mechanism of trimethoprim (TMP)-resistance is the acquisition of dihydrofolate reductase enzyme resistant to this drug. Previous molecular characterization of TMP-genes resistance in Chilean isolates of Shigella sonnei searching for dfrA1 and dfrA8, showed solely the presence of dfrA8 (formerly dhfrIIIc). However, these genetic markers were absent in S. sonnei strains further is...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance in Shigella flexneri and Shigella sonnei in Hong Kong, 1986 to 1995.
Three hundred and thirty-three Shigella isolates obtained in 1986 to 1995 were tested for their susceptibilities to 19 antimicrobial agents. Nalidixic acid resistance had emerged in 59.6% of Shigella flexneri isolates during 1994 to 1995, with all tested resistant isolates having the mutation in gyrA encoding the Ser-83 alteration. Multiresistance (resistance to four or more agents) was more co...
متن کاملThird-generation cephalosporin resistance in Shigella sonnei, Argentina.
Shigella sonnei resistant to cefotaxime (but not to ceftazidime) was isolated for the first time in stool samples from a pediatric patient with vomiting and bloody diarrhea in northern Argentina. Microbiologic and biochemical tests confirmed the presence of an extended spectrum beta-lactamase displaying an apparent isoelectric point value of 8.2.
