| [on the outbreak of shigellosis in tokyo, 1992]. | in 1992, the number of cases of shigellosis in tokyo increased remarkably, and a total of 10 separate outbreaks were confirmed. except for 1 series where the causative strains was shigella flexneri 3a, the other 9 outbreaks were caused by shigella sonnei. of note, 7 outbreaks were familial with less than 5 patients. the remaining 3 outbreaks occurred in a restaurant, a school and the dormitory of an orphanage, in which the organism was detected in 6 to 14 patients. in 4 of the familial outbreaks ... | 1993 | 8294768 |
| [characteristics of the shigella flexneri strains isolated from japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata)]. | shigella flexneri was isolated from 11 of 95 japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata) purchased by the animal research center, tokyo medical and dental university, during the period from 1988 through 1990. the serotypes of the isolates were 4a (5 isolates), 2a (4 isolates), 2b (1 isolate), and vary (1 isolate). although some of the strains in the same serotypes were similar, others were different in their antibiotic susceptibility patterns or the plasmid profiles. our results suggested that various typ ... | 1993 | 8336006 |
| [species and serovar-distribution, and drug-resistance of shigella strains isolated from imported and domestic cases from 1990 through 1994 in tokyo]. | a total of 446 shigella strains consisting of 336 imported and 110 domestic strains isolated in tokyo from 1990 to 1994 were examined for their species and serovar-distribution, and their drug-resistance. in both imported and domestic strains, s. sonnei was found to be the most prevalent species, followed by s. flexneri. in imported strains, however, the isolation frequency of s. flexneri, s. boydii and s. dysenteriae were higher than that of domestic strains, and the serovar of each species was ... | 1995 | 8586884 |
