By September 2, it was revealed that seven other individuals who had traveled to Hawaii with the patie...
متن کاملT-related bacteriophages isolated from Shigella sonnei.
The properties of three T-related phages-35, 55, and 3201-isolated from Shigella sonnei were studied. They were similar with respect to morphology of plaques, duration of the latent periods, lysis inhibition effect, and serological characteristics. These phages closely resembled the T-even phages. Phages 3201, 35, and 55 had the same host range and receptor specificity as phage T2.
متن کاملShigella sonnei strains isolated from U.S. summer students in Guadalajara, Mexico, from 1986 to 1992.
Plasmid DNA analysis and antibiotic susceptibilities were used to study strains of Shigella sonnei isolated from U.S. travelers to Guadalajara, Mexico, over a period of seven years (1986 to 1992). One hundred sixty-one isolates were analyzed. By the use of cluster analysis, eight different plasmid profiles were identified during this interval. At any point in time, three to seven different plas...
متن کاملMultilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis for genotyping of Shigella sonnei strains isolated from pediatric patients
AIM The aims of this study were to characterize Iranian Shigella sonnei strains isolated from pediatric cases and evaluate the utility of multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) for genotyping of local S. sonnei strains. BACKGROUND S. sonnei has become the dominant species in certain parts of Iran. Although PFGE is still a gold standard for genotyping and source track...
متن کاملEpidemic strains of Shigella sonnei biotype g carrying integrons.
Class 2 integrons (Tn7) were found in all randomly selected epidemic (n = 27) and preepidemic (n = 13) strains of multiresistant Shigella sonnei biotype g. A class 1 integron was also found in two epidemic strains. Gene cassettes within these integrons account for resistance to commonly used therapeutic agents.
