Emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Shigella is a growing concern across the globe. Third-generation cephalosporins are used for treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant Shigellae. However, resistance to these cephalosporin antibiotics due to extended-spectrum ß-lactamases, has emerged as a new problem. So far extended-spectrum ß-lactamases producing Shigella has not been reported from Pakistan. We report such a case in Shigella flexneri from an 8-year old girl with acute dysentery.
志贺氏菌多重耐药菌株的出现是全球日益关注的问题。第三代头孢菌素用于治疗由多重耐药志贺氏菌引起的感染。然而，由于超广谱β-内酰胺酶导致对这些头孢菌素抗生素产生耐药性，已成为一个新问题。迄今为止，巴基斯坦尚未报告产超广谱β-内酰胺酶的志贺氏菌。我们报告了一名8岁患急性痢疾的女孩感染弗氏志贺氏菌的此类病例。
