Using various techniques to identify antimicrobial susceptibility and phenotypic resistance in a Shigella's spp.

Abstract

Shigellosis should be suspected in patients who have a fever and watery diarrhea. Females were found to be infected at a higher rate than males in the overall population samples. The rate of bacterial isolation (17%) was higher than his results (3%), with approximately 53.5% of children infected, approximately 24% in the 11-20 age range, and approximately 22.5% in the early teens and adults (21-30 years). People at nursing homes and psychiatric institutions who had various gastrointestinal symptoms were cured.

Shigella spp. were all resistant (43.6%) to ampicillin plus nalidixic acid (=60%), cefixicin (59.5%), ceftazidime (55%), and ceftriaxone (55%). When antibiotic susceptibility was investigated, Shigella spp. isolates were 76.6% susceptible to ciprofloxacin and 44% susceptible to ceftriaxone, respectively. Almost 100% of the samples tested were insensitive to AMP, 45% to NAL, 55% to ceftriaxone, 15% to CIP, 60% to CHL and cefixime, 65% to ceftazidime, and 40% to gentamicin. S. flexneri isolates were resistant to ampicillin and erythromycin in 100% of cases, while 66.66% were responsive to eftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and 33.33% were resistant to ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and nalidixic acid. In the case of S. Sonnei, 100% of isolates were resistant to ampicillin and cefixime, while 100% were intermediate to gentamicin and 75.00% were sensitive.
