The transfer of antibiotic resistance by R plasmids in Shigellae. 1978

D A Bremner

Forty-five strains of Shigella species isolated at Auckland Hospital from 1972--1974 were investigated for antibiotic resistance. Forty-two strains were resistant to one or more antibiotics and 11 strains transferred antibiotic resistance by conjugation to E. coli.

D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D012760	Shigella	A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that ferments sugar without gas production. Its organisms are intestinal pathogens of man and other primates and cause bacillary dysentery (DYSENTERY, BACILLARY).
D012763	Shigella flexneri	A bacterium which is one of the etiologic agents of bacillary dysentery (DYSENTERY, BACILLARY) and sometimes of infantile gastroenteritis.
D012764	Shigella sonnei	A lactose-fermenting bacterium causing dysentery.	Bacterium sonnei
