Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance in Shigella flexneri Isolated From Macaques

Plasmid-Mediated Quinolone Resistance in Shigella flexneri Isolated From Macaques

Non-human primates (NHPs) for biomedical research are commonly infected with Shigella spp. that can cause acute dysentery or chronic episodic diarrhea. These animals are often prophylactically and clinically treated with quinolone antibiotics to eradicate these possible infections. However, chromoso...
