Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Shigellosis is an acute infection of the intestine caused by bacteria in the genus Shigella and also an important cause of diarrhea in developing countries. This study was carried out to find the extent and nature of the emerging resistance in north part of Karnataka, India, and surrounding region with huge population, and also focused on the molecular mechanism of development of resistance against different generations of fluoroquinolones and explored the diversity of restriction endonucleases; we also tried to establish the significance of reduced minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values.
