an extract of henna (lawsonia inermia) was found to be active in vitroagainst gram (+) and gram (-) bacteria including bacillus anthracis, b.cereus, b. subtilis, enterobacter aerugenes,escherichia coli 0128-b7, e.coli 055-b5, e. colio127-b8, proteus mirabilis, p. vulgaris, pseudomonas aeruginosa salmonella typhosa, s.paratyphi, sarcina sp. shigella dysenteriae type 1, s. dysenteriae type 7, s. ...

Introduction: Awareness of the species of Shigella has particular importance in the way of dealing with an outbreak, controlling it, and treating patients. The purpose of this study was to use the Multiplex PCR method and comparison with the culture method to detect Shigella species, as well as analysing the antibiotic resistance pattern in its different species. Methods: Simultaneously, the fe...

SUMMARY BACKGROUND The distribution of Shigella serotypes is of epidemiological importance and antimicrobial therapy for shigellosis can prevent potential complications of shigellosis. Studies done fifty years ago in Ghana indicated the predominance of Shigella flexneri. OBJECTIVES To describe the distribution of Shigella serogroups and serotypes and their antibiogram profiles. STUDY DESIGN...

Shigella dysenteriae is a global disease-causing bacteria that has millions of infections every year. Direct human-to-human transmission, spread due to contamination food and beverages, low susceptibility stomach acid vector contribution can cause disease caused by be widespread.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES There is a worldwide emergence of fluoroquinolone resistance in Shigella species. To understand the molecular mechanisms associated with fluoroquinolone resistance, naturally occurring fluoroquinolone-resistant strains and laboratory-induced spontaneous mutants of Shigella spp. were used and the relative contributions of acrAB-tolC efflux pumps, gyrase and topoisomerase ...
