| Zusammenfassung: | <jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Shigella sonnei</jats:italic> isolates from southwestern Korea during the epidemic periods of 1998 to 2000 were genetically related. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of the outbreak-related isolates changed annually. All isolates carried class 2 integrons, and the outbreak-related isolates from 1999 also carried class 1 integrons. The antimicrobial susceptibilities of <jats:italic>S. sonnei</jats:italic> isolates are readily changed by antibiotic selective pressures, and integrons are responsible for resistance to antimicrobial agents commonly used to treat shigellosis. </jats:p> |
