Mihai Pop,Alan W. Walker,Joseph N. Paulson,Brianna Lindsay,Martin Antonio,M. Anowar Hossain,Joseph Oundo,Boubou Tamboura,Volker Mai,Irina Astrovskaya,Héctor Corrada Bravo,Richard Rance,Mark D. Stares,Myron M. Levine,Sandra Panchalingam,Karen L. Kotloff,Usman N. Ikumapayi,Chinelo Ebruke,Mitchell Adeyemi,Dilruba Ahmed,Firoz Ahmed,Meer T. Alam,Ruhul Amin,Sabbir Siddiqui,John B.

TL;DR: Overall genus-level microbiota composition exhibit a shift in controls from low to high levels of Prevotella and in MSD cases from high to low levels of Escherichia/Shigella in younger versus older children; however, there was significant variation among many genera by both site and age.

TL;DR: qPCR with a cutpoint of approximately 1.4 × 104 ipaH copies should be the new reference standard for the detection and diagnosis of shigellosis in children in low-income countries, and the acceptance of this new standard would substantially increase the fraction of MSD cases that are attributable to Shigella.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing Trends in the Prevalence of Shigella Species: Emergence of Multi-Drug Resistant Shigella sonnei Biotype g in Bangladesh
Abu I. M. S. Ud-Din,Syeda Umme Habiba Wahid,Hasan A. Latif,Mohammad Shahnaij,Mahmuda Akter,Ishrat J. Azmi,Trisheeta N. Hasan,Dilruba Ahmed,Mohammad Anowar Hossain,Abu S. G. Faruque,Shah M. Faruque,Kaisar A. Talukder +11 more
TL;DR: The results show a changing trend in the prevalence of Shigella species with the emergence of multidrug resistant S. sonnei replacing the earlier dominance by S. boydii and S. dysenteriae in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is reported that approximately 3.5 % of Gram-negative clinical isolates in Bangladesh are NDM-1-producing.

TL;DR: Antibiotic exposure and blood culture volume affect detection of bacterial pathogens in children with pneumonia and should be accounted for in studies of etiology and in clinical management.
