Population Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Prediction for Tebipenem Pivoxil Treatment of Pediatric Shigellosis. [PDF]

Clin Transl Sci
ABSTRACT Increasing antimicrobial resistance poses a serious challenge for the treatment of Shigella infections, and there is an urgent need for alternative antibacterial treatments. We conducted a clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of oral tebipenem pivoxil, compared to intravenous ceftriaxone, in Bangladeshi children with shigellosis.

Shigellosis seasonality and transmission characteristics in different areas of China: A modelling study

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2022
Objective: In China, the burden of shigellosis is unevenly distributed, notably across various ages and geographical areas. Shigellosis temporal trends appear to be seasonal. We should clarify seasonal warnings and regional transmission patterns. Method:

A retrospective analysis of Shigellosis in hospitalized patients

Детские инфекции (Москва), 2020
The relevance of the study of Shigellosis is due to the fact that the pathogen is capable of invasion and the production of cyto- and neurotoxins, which leads to the development of severe inflammation and toxicosis, and with massive infection — and ...

Characterization of an emergent clone of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli circulating in Europe [PDF]

, 2016
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) cause intestinal illness indistinguishable from that caused by Shigella, mainly in developing countries. Recently an upsurge of cases of EIEC infections has been observed in Europe, with two large outbreaks ...
