A set of 30 Shigella isolates from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System for Enteric Bacteria (NARMS), a US public health surveillance system that monitors antimicrobial resistance among enteric bacteria. Isolates in this collection represent different mechanisms of resistance to fluroquinolones and a range of susceptibility to fluroquinolones and azithromycin.
Panel ID: SHG
MICs obtained by broth microdilution. Modal MIC is reported.
MIC results for each antimicrobial agent for an isolate may commonly be ± 1 log2 (doubling dilution) different than what is posted on the FDA & CDC AR Bank website because this is the normal technical variability of antimicrobial susceptibility testing (see J. H. Jorgensen. 1993. J Clin Microbiol. Vol 31[11]: 2841-2844).
