  2. Abstract

  3. Introduction Dysentery • Amoebicand Bacillary • HistoricallyA dysenteriae 15 serotypes B boydii 18 serotypes C flexneri 6 serotypes & 2 variants D sonnei 1 serotype (5 biotypes) • Evolved from different ancestral strains of E.coli. • Virulence plasmid , Pinv (140 MDa) directs the entry of bacterium into host epithelial cells. • produce various enterotoxins

  4. Shigella sonnei • Evolved from E.coli O62 • Acquired O antigen from Pleisiomonasshigelloides O17 by lateral transfer • Gene cluster for O antigen is located on Pinv. • Incidence USA 1998 25,000 cases 1999 18,000 cases UK approx. 900 cases/year • Spread by person-to-person contact and contaminated food or water • Low infectious dose (10 cells)

  5. Isolates analysed in this study • Galway n = 42 (clusters of 4,2 &2 related) • Mayo n = 9 (cluster of 3 related) • Roscommon n = 8 (cluster of 2 related) • Dublin n = 6 (unknown) • Cork n = 2 (unknown )

  6. Materials and Methods • Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis- XbaI • 20 h at 5-50s , 16 h at 5-20s • Phage typing (8 isolates) • Sensitivity testing • NCCLS Disk Diffusion • Plasmid profiling • alkaline lysis method of Kado & Liu • Conjugation- liquid mating • Integron analysis (14 isolates) • PCR

  10. PFGE analysed by Bionumerics PT9 PT9 RDNC PT6 PT50 PT6 PT6

  11. PT 9 PFGE A (n=2) PT6 PFGE B (n=1) PFGE B1 (n=1) PFGE B4 (n=1) PFGE B5 (n=1) PT50 PFGE B3 (n=1) RDNC PFGE B (n=1) Phage Typing of S. sonnei isolates (performed by LEP, Colindale, London) Phage type 6 accounts for approximately 80% of U.K. infections. PT9 is quite rare.

  12. Conjugation of S.sonnei isolates 1 Isolated on Trptone Soya Agar , Oxoid 2 Isolated on Mueller Hinton Agar, BBL A = Ampicillin 100mg/ml agar Na = Nalidixic acid 30mg/ml agar T = Tetracycline 20mg/ml agar Tm = Trimethoprim 5mg/ml agar

  14. Antibiotic Resistance Patterns Antibiotics tested: Amp10, C 30, S10, Su300, Tet30, W5, Na30, Nt300, K30, Cip5 Oxoid

  15. Conclusions • Majority of isolates tested were from 1 PFGE group, A • Good concurrence between PFGE ,phage typing and resistance typing • High rate of resistance to antibiotics with several being encoded by conjugative plasmids or integrons • It would prove interesting to analyse isolates from other countries
