resistance of shigella strains to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in isfahan province

چکیده
background: the aim of this study was to determine the serotypes and antimicrobial susceptibility of shigella spp. in isfahan, (iran) from 2010 to 2015. methods: this retrospective study was conducted on shigella isolates in four tertiary care hospitals. the process of bacterial isolation and determination of susceptibility was performed by standard microbiological guidelines. the patients were categorized into three age groups of under 5, 5-15 and over 15 years. results: among 45 isolates, s. sonnei (63.6%) was the predominant species, followed by s. flexneri (34.1%), and s. dysenteriae (2.3%). substantial resistance to ampicillin, trimethoprim- sulfamethoxazole, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, and cefixime was observed. over 94% of the isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. susceptibility of isolates was similar between all age groups. conclusion: significant resistance to third generation cephalosporins precludes the use of these agents for empirical treatment of shigellosis in our population. ciprofloxacin is an appropriate option; however, susceptibility tests should be performed before prescription.

متن کاملComparative proteomics analysis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains in response to extended-spectrum cephalosporins
Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains displaying reduced susceptibility and resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) are major public health concerns. Although resistance mechanisms of ESCs have extensively been studied, the proteome-wide investigation on the biological response to the antibiotic stress is still limited. Herein, a proteomics approach based on two-dimensional gel electropho...
متن کاملEmergence of decreased susceptibility and resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Korea.
OBJECTIVES Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a major concern globally; however, no comprehensive AMR data for gonococcal isolates cultured after 2006 in Korea have been published internationally. We determined the susceptibility of N. gonorrhoeae isolates cultured in 2011-13, the mechanism of extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC) resistance and the molecular epidemiolog...
متن کاملIncrease in Resistance to Extended-Spectrum Cephalosporins in Salmonella Isolated from Retail Chicken Products in Japan
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Salmonella are one of the most important public health problems in developed countries. ESBL-producing Salmonella strains have been isolated from humans in Asian countries neighboring Japan, along with strains harboring the plasmid-mediated extended-spectrum cephalosporin (ESC)-resistance gene, ampC (pAmpC). However, only a few studies have investi...
