Surveillance of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns among Shigella Species Isolated in China during the 7-Year Period of 2005-2011

Abstract: BackgroundShigella is a frequent cause of bacterial dysentery in the developing world. Treatment with antibiotics is recommended for shigellosis, but the options are limited due to globally emerging resistance. This study was conducted to determine the frequency and pattern of antimicrobial susceptibility of Shigella in China.MethodsWe studied the antimicrobial resistance profiles of 308 Shigella spp. strains (260 S. flexneri, 40 S. sonnei, 5 S. boydii, and 3 S. dysenteriae) isolated from fecal samples of pati… Show more

“…Moderate resistance to tetracycline (45.9 %) and cefotaxime (29.7 %) was also observed; however, resistance to chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin was relatively low (16.2 and 2.7 %, respectively) [20]. In Beijing, Salmonella and Shigella showed resistance to ciprofloxacin isolateed from diarrheal children 9.3% and 29.7%, respectively [21]. Salmonella and Shigella isolates showed resistance rates to CIP 9.2% and 2.7% at Shanghai and Anhui in China [22].…”

“…Similar results have been reported in Burkina Faso and Nigeria (Bawa et al, 2016;Fashae et al, 2010). Multidrug resistance to these old and commonly used antimicrobials is a public health problem and could facilitate usage of fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins for empiric treatment (Yang et al, 2013). Salmonella Paratyphi B was the most resistant of the serotypes isolated from human isolates to urban and rural sites and exhibited resistance to tetracycline, ticarcillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, amoxicillin/cluvulanic-acid and trimethoprime/sulfamexazol.…”

“…The production of ESBLs is the major defense mechanism against third-generation cephalosporins employed by Enterobacteriaceae, including Shigella species. Recent reports from Jiangsu and Anhui Provinces located in eastern China, which neighbor Shanghai, showed that the rates of resistance to CTX were 21.5 % and 26.4 %, respectively, among Shigella isolates [14,15]. Therefore, the high prevalence of ESBL-producing Shigella isolates in eastern China is a threat to public health, and tracking and monitoring of the rapid spread of ESBL producers is urgently required.…”
