Key Findings

The study identified various AMR genes in Shigella isolates from Fujian Province, including beta-lactamases (bla TEM-1, bla OXA-1, bla CTX-M-14, bla CTX-M-15, bla CTX-M-55, bla CTX-M-64), macrolide resistance genes (mphA, ermB), tetracycline resistance genes (tetA, tetB), aminoglycoside resistance genes (aadA, aph(3')-Ib, aac(3)-IId), chloramphenicol resistance gene (catA1), and sulfonamide/trimethoprim resistance genes (sul1, sul2, dfrA1, dfrA12, dfrA14, dfrA17).
