| dc.description | Shigella sonnei is a significant cause of gastroenteritis in both developing and industrialized countries. Knowledge of the diversity and antimicrobial susceptibility of the bacterium may be helpful in the management of both individual cases and outbreaks. This study was undertaken to evaluate the molecular epidemiology of an outbreak of diarrhea due to S. sonnei. The outbreak involved 14 of 28 (50%) tourists in a small rural hotel in La Gomera, Canary Islands, Spain. All of the S. sonnei isolates recovered had the same antimicrobial susceptibility and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns, suggesting that the outbreak was produced by a single strain. | - |
| dc.description | Shigella sonnei es una causa significativa de gastroenteritis, tanto en países en desarrollo como industrializados. El conocimiento de la diversidad de esa bacteria y de su sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos puede ser una ayuda en el tratamiento de casos individuales y de brotes infecciosos. Este estudio se realizó para evaluar la epidemiología molecular de un brote de diarrea debido a S. sonnei. El brote afectó a 14 de los 28 (50%) turistas en un pequeño hotel rural en La Gomera, Islas Canarias, en España. Todos los aislados de S. sonnei recuperados presentaron el mismo patrón de sensibilidad a los antimicrobianos y el mismo patrón de electroforesis en gel de campo pulsado, lo cual indica que el brote fue causado por una sola cepa. | - |
