“…Studies from Greece 12 and Oregon 13 did not report species specifi c sensitivity, and results from Israel 7 have shown similar high resistance rates for both S. sonnei and S. fl exneri (87% and 71%, respectively). 2,[12][13][14] The high rate of resistant to ampicillin and co-trimoxazole, which was reported in this study, was similar to those reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NARMS data from 2001 and other studies. 5,11 In Malaysia, the co-trimoxazole resistance rate of S. sonnei was relatively low (37.1%).…”

We declare no confl ict of interest. ABSTRACTAppropriate antimicrobial treatment of shigellosis depends on identifying its changing resistance pattern over time. We evaluated 15,255 stool culture submitted from July 2001 to June 2006 to the Laboratory of Children Medical Center Hospital. Specimen culture, bacterial identifi cation, and disk diffusion susceptibility testing were performed according to National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards guidelines. From 15,255 stool samples, 682 (4.5%) were positive for Shigella species. The most common species of Shigella were S. fl exneri (48%) and S. sonnei (45%); other results were S. dysenteriae (5%) and S. boydii (2%). The rate of Sensitivity to ceftriaxone (95%), ceftizoxime (94%), and nalidixic acid (84%) were among our isolates. Resistance to co-trimoxazole and ampicillin was 87% and 86%, respectively. S. fl exneri was more multiresistant than other species (47.9%). Our isolates are overall most sensitive to ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, and nalidixic acid (> 84%). They were most resistant to co-trimoxazole and ampicillin (> 86%). Because resistance varies according to specifi c location, continuous local monitoring of resistance patterns is necessary for the appropriate selection of empirical antimicrobial therapy.

Ninety-seven isolates of Shigella flexneri from children seeking medical care from three sites in Egypt were characterized. Overall, 46.4% of children (median age 17 months) were febrile or reported blood in their stools, 25.8% were dehydrated and 16.5% were admitted to hospital. Serotypes 2a (37.1%), 1b (18.6%), 1c (17.5%), and 6 (15.5%) comprised over 88.7% of the total isolates. We observed marked resistance to ampicillin (87.6%), tetracycline (84.5%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (63.9%). Pulsed-field electrophoresis grouped the majority of isolates within a serotype together, separately from isolates of an alternative serotype. The set gene was present in all serogroup 2a isolates, however, the sen gene was detected in every isolate. Our results show S. flexneri 1c has emerged as a dominant S. flexneri serotype in Egypt. Development and application of a Shigella vaccine should consider the diversity of Shigella serotypes within a geographical region prior to administration.

“…[7] This organism may also show antibacterial resistance during the course of the therapy. [8] The VITEK ® 2 (BioMerieux, MarcyI' Etoile, France) is one of the automated microbial identification system that provides highly accurate and reproducible result. With its colorimetric reagent cards, and associated hardware and software advances, the VITEK ® 2 offers a state-of-the-art technology platform for phenotypic identification methods.…”

Shigella Antibiotic Resistance in Central Turkey: Comparison of the Years 1987‐1994 and 1995‐2002

Abstract: The need to treat all Shigella cases in areas where S. sonnei is predominant should be reevaluated, as should the appropriate empirical antibiotic.
