Abstract excerpt

To study the prevalence pattern and trends in the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of shigellae, we tested 212 isolates isolated from diarrhoeal patients admitted to the Infectious Diseases Hospital, Kolkata, India, from November 2007 to October 2010. Prevalence of Shigella spp. was higher in the >5 years age group (69 %) than in children in the <5 years age group (31 %). Serotypes 2a, 3a and untypable...
