The resistance to antibiotics of 240 Shigella strains isolated in Somalia from 1973 to 1976 was studied. Many strains, particularly those of Shigella dysenteriae type 1, were found to be resistant to more than one drug. In view of their resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, tetracycline, and sulfonamides, it is suggested that polymyxin B or M sulfate - which have proved to be effective in vivo - should be used for the treatment of clinically typical cases of bacillary dysentery.
对1973年至1976年在索马里分离出的240株志贺氏菌菌株的抗生素耐药性进行了研究。发现许多菌株,特别是痢疾志贺氏菌1型菌株,对不止一种药物耐药。鉴于它们对氨苄青霉素、氯霉素、链霉素、四环素和磺胺类药物耐药,建议使用硫酸多粘菌素B或M(已证明在体内有效)来治疗临床上典型的细菌性痢疾病例。
