Long-term Comparison of Antibiotic Resistance in Vibrio cholerae O1 and Shigella Species Between Urban and Rural Bangladesh

摘要

From 2000 to 2012, Vibrio cholerae O1 and Shigella species isolates from urban Dhaka and rural Matlab were tested for resistance to all clinically relevant antibiotics in Bangladesh. Resistances in urban and rural Bangladesh tended to rise and fall together, especially a few years after the introduction of new resistance.
