Shigellosis, caused by Shigella species, is a major public health problem in Bangladesh. To
determine the prevalence and distribution of different Shigella species, we analyzed 10,827 …

Objectives Shigellosis is a major public health problem, and increasing antimicrobial
resistance has complicated its treatment. We report isolation frequency, plasmid profiles and …

We studied the isolation of Shigella spp., and their antimicrobial resistance. S. flexneri (54%)
was most frequently isolated, followed by S. dysenteriae (20%), S. boydii (16%) and S …

Background Shigellosis is a major public health concern worldwide, especially in
developing countries. It is an acute intestinal infection caused by bacteria of the genus …

Shigella species represent one of the growing numbers of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in
developing countries. Fluoroquinolone-resistant strains of Shigella dysenteriae type1 and …

Shigella is the leading global etiological agent of shigellosis, especially in poor and

Background Shigella, gram negative bacterium, is responsible for Shigellosis/bacillary
dysentery. It is a global concern although it predominates in developing countries. These are …

Bacillary dysentery, common in developing countries, is usually caused by Shigella species.
A major problem in shigellosis is the rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant strains. This is …
