Patrones de sensibilidad in vitro y comportamiento clínico de Shigella

Abstract

Las infecciones por Shigella se mantienen como un problema de salud pública en el panorama mundial, asociándose a bajo nivel de vida en países en desarrollo 1 y a grupos de riesgo o EXPERIENCIA CLINICA

Surveillance for Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles Among Shigella Species Isolated From a Semirural Community in the Northern Administrative Area of Santiago, Chile

“…Studies from many regions of Chile have already reported an increase in isolation of Shigella that are resistant or exhibiting multi-resistance to clinically important and commonly used antibiotics. [8][9][10] Our findings from the semirural study area of Colina, are consistent with those reports in that we also observed an alarmingly high prevalence of Shigella that are resistant to antibiotics frequently used for treating shigellosis by clinicians in Santiago.…”

Patrones de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana de cepas de Shigella sonnei aisladas durante tres períodos diferentes en la Región Metropolitana, Chile

“…Shigella flexneri y S. sonnei son las especies prevalentes y endémicas en América Latina y en países industrializados 7 . En Chile, S. flexneri y S. sonnei, constituyen más de 80% de las cepas de Shigella aisladas, con una proporción similar entre ambas, predominando S. sonnei cada dos o tres años [8][9][10] . Investigaciones realizadas en niños chilenos, mostraron que un número reducido de serotipos (S. sonnei, S. flexneri 2a, S. flex-…”

Surveillance of antibiotic susceptibility pattern among shigella flexneri strain isolated in Nagpur district during three years period, january 2009-january 2012

“…Studies from many regions of the world have already reported an increase in isolation of S. flexneri that are multidrug resistant to clinically important and commonly prescribed antibiotics. [13][14][15] In the current study, 110 liquid stool samples were examined by direct culture on selective media-yielded Shigella species. It was further tested to confirm species identification by VITECK ® 2 system.…”
