Characterisation of a multiresistant Shigella flexneri serotype 1 isolate from a child in Kuwait
A Shigella flexneri serotype 1 was cultured from the stool of a 1 year-old Syrian girl admitted in Al-Sabah hospital, Kuwait, in April 2019 with severe diarrhea and dehydration. The isolate was multi-drug-resistant. The child recovered after treatment with cefotaxime. Whole genome sequencing of the isolate showed that it carried five different beta lactamases belonging to three different classes - A, C and D. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a bacterial isolate carrying multiple beta lactamases as previous reports showed not more than two beta lactamases in a bacterial isolate.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
