Abstract:
Three episodes of illness outbreak, with major symptoms of acute abdominal pain and diarrhea, occurred in 1990 to 1991 in the army forces stationed in Beijing. Bacillary dysentery outbreak caused by Shigella dysentariae were confirmed with epidemiological investigations and pathogen identification. Drug sensitivity tests with Kirby-Bauer method for the strain isolated showed it had obvious resistance to 13 of 14 kinds of antibiotics tested. Detection of plasmid with Birnboim method showed most of the strains had R-plasmid of 120-140 Md and few had small plasmid. It suggested inherent connection between drug-resistance of the strains and plasmid.
