Antimicrobial susceptibility of Plesiomonas shigelloides from patients with diarrhea.

چکیده
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. shigelloides diarrheal disease. For the parenteral treatment of extraintestinal infection, netilmicin and the cephalosporins had the best in vitro activity.

Clinical features, epidemiology, and treatment of Plesiomonas shigelloides diarrhea.
Recent studies have suggested that Plesiomonas shigelloides is a cause of diarrhea. The present study addresses the clinical features, epidemiology, and response to antimicrobial therapy of P. shigelloides diarrhea. Thirty cases of P. shigelloides infection were defined by isolation of the organism from stool specimens, and 30 age-matched control patients were identified by detection of other e...
متن کاملPlesiomonas shigelloides Infection in Southeast China
BACKGROUND Plesiomonas shigelloides can cause gastroenteritis and extra-intestinal diseases in humans. However, the prevalence of P. shigelloides infections has not been investigated in China. METHODS Consecutive fecal specimens from outpatients with acute diarrhea and non-diarrheal patients at nine sentinel hospitals in southeast China were collected from March 2010 to May 2012. Bacterial pa...
متن کاملPlesiomonas shigelloides overgrowth in the small intestine.
An 83-year-old male presented with chronic diarrhea and protein malnutrition associated with Plesiomonas shigelloides overgrowth in the small intestine. This overgrowth was related to achlorhydria and small-bowel diverticula. Tests for heat-labile and heat-stable enterotoxin were negative on the P. shigelloides isolated from both the small bowel aspirate (3 x 10(8) bacteria per ml) and the pati...
متن کاملIsolation and antimicrobial susceptibility of Plesiomonas shigelloides from great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo hanedae) in Gifu and Shiga Prefectures, Japan.
Plesiomonas shigelloides is a causal agent of gastroenteritis, sepsis and meningitis in humans. We examined the prevalence of P. shigelloides among great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo hanedae) in Japan and the antimicrobial susceptibility of isolates. P. shigelloides was isolated from 33 (47.8%) of 69 fecal samples from great cormorants in 2014. All 33 isolates were subjected to antimicrobial...

To evaluate the enteropathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides, the rate of isolation of these organisms was compared among individuals with and without diarrhea in Thailand. In two groups of American travelers, A. hydrophila, but not P. shigelloides, was associated with episodes of travelers diarrhea more often than when individuals did not have diarrhea (P less than ...
