  • Global Distribution of Shigella sonnei Clones.
    Emerging infectious diseases, 2011
    Co-Authors: Ingrid Filliol-toutain, Chien-shun Chiou, Caterina Mammina, Peter Gerner-smidt, Kwai Lin Thong, Dac Cam Phung, Mariana Pichel, Reza Ranjbar, Amy Gassama Sow, Kara Cooper
    Abstract:

    To investigate global epidemiology of Shigella sonnei, we performed multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis of 1,672 isolates obtained since 1943 from 50 countries on 5 continents and the Pacific region. Three major clonal groups were identified; 2 were globally spread. Type 18 and its derivatives have circulated worldwide in recent decades.

  • Genetic relatedness among isolates of Shigella sonnei carrying class 2 integrons in Tehran, Iran, 2002–2003
    BMC infectious diseases, 2007
    Co-Authors: Reza Ranjbar, Aurora Aleo, Giovanni M. Giammanco, Anna Maria Dionisi, Nourkhoda Sadeghifard, Caterina Mammina
    Abstract:

    Background Shigella spp. are major cause of diarrhoeal disease in both developing and developed countries. Shigella sonnei is the serogroup of Shigella most frequently responsible for sporadic and epidemic enteritis in developed countries. In recent years the emergence and spread of S. sonnei biotype g carrying class 2 integron have been frequently reported in many countries. Recently, S. sonnei has been reported as the prevalent serogroup of Shigella in Iran. The present study was carried out to investigate phenotypic and genetic characteristics of Shigella sonnei isolates identified in the years 2002 and 2003 in Tehran, Iran.
