Shigella
BacteriologyEvaluation of Shigella Species Azithromycin CLSI Epidemiological Cutoff Values and Macrolide Resistance GenesAzithromycin (AZM) has been recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics for the treatment of shigellosis in children. In this study, 502 Shigella species isolated between 2004 and 2014 were tested for AZM epidemiological cutoff values (ECV) by disk diffusion.
BacteriologyEvaluation of a Culture-Dependent Algorithm and a Molecular Algorithm for Identification of Shigella spp., Escherichia coli, and Enteroinvasive E. coliIdentification of Shigella spp., Escherichia coli, and enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) is challenging because of their close relatedness. Distinction is vital, as infections with...
