Further studies on the antibiotic resistance of Shigella sonnei. II. The acquisition of transferable antibiotic resistance in vivo.

چکیده
Previous studies on the epidemiology of Sonne dysentery in the London area (Davies, 1954; Farrant & Tomlinson, 1966) described the trend towards an increased frequency of strains of Shigella sonnei resistant to sulphonamides and later to streptomycin and tetracycline. It seemed relevant to continue and extend these observations. Recent work on the transfer of antibiotic resistance between organisms of many genera within the family Enterobacteriaceae (Datta, 1962; Watanabe, 1963; Anderson & Lewis, 1965) prompted an attempt to determine how much of the antibiotic resistance of Sh. sonnei could be transferred to a suitable recipient strain of Escherichia coli.

متن کاملShigella sonnei plasmids: evidence that a large plasmid is necessary for virulence.
Virulent form I Shigella sonnei strains contain a 120-megadalton plasmid that is absent in their form II derivatives, which are always avirulent and devoid of O side chains. In the present study, 165 biochemical and antibiotic traits were assessed, but no experimentally useful phenotype could be associated with this large form I plasmid. Therefore, the form I plasmids of several S. sonnei strai...
