  • Title: Cefotaximase and AmpC-producing Shigella flexneri in case of dysentery from southern India.
    Author: Oommen S, Pillai PM, Sushamabai S, Paul PJ.
    Journal: Indian J Med Microbiol; 2013; 31(1):77-9. PubMed ID: 23508436.
    Abstract:
    Diarrhoea and dysentery caused by Shigella spp. are major public health concerns. Emerging multidrug resistance (MDR) in this pathogen further complicates this disease. Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) have been described in this pathogen, which significantly compromises the treatment options for shigellosis. The usual ESBLs seen are sulfhydryl variable (SHV)-type; cefotaximases (CTX-M) are very uncommonly detected. Here, we report a CTX-M type and AmpC-producing Shigella flexneri from a three-year-old boy residing in Central Kerala, South India.
