Aeromonas spp. and Plesiomonas shigelloides can be commonly isolated from stools of patients with diarrhoea in developing countries though much less commonly from such patients in developed countries. ■ These bacteria are also commo... -
Use of bacteriophage as a marker for identification of freshly-isolated individual eschrichia coli strains
One or more of 24 selected bacteriophages at 100 and 1000 times routine test dilution (RTD), spotted on lawns of individual Escherichia coli strains were found to attack over 90% of 297 E. co/i strains tested.lt ... -
Increasing spectrum in antimicrobial Resistance of shigella isolates in Bangladesh: resistance to azithromycin and ceftriaxone and decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin
Antimicrobial resistance of Shigella isolates in Bangladesh, during 2001-2002, was studied and compared with that of 1991-1992 to identify the changes in resistance patterns and trends. A significant increase in resistance to trimethopr...
