Genetic analysis of antibiotic-resistance determinants in multidrug-resistant <i>Shigella</i> strains isolated from Chilean children
6 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
A total of 162 clinical isolates of Shigella collected from children in a semi-rural community of Chile were examined for the presence of genetic determinants of resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and trimethoprim. Ampicillin resistance was most frequently associated with the presence of bla(OXA) in S. flexneri and with bla(TEM) in S. sonnei. The bla(OXA) gene but not bla(TEM) was located in...
