Shigella sonnei bacteremia in an elderly diabetic patient

F Dronda et al. Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

A case of Shigella sonnei bacteremia in a 65-year-old patient suffering from diabetes mellitus is discussed. The isolated strain had plasmid-mediated serum resistance and excreted aerobactin. The presence of diabetes mellitus as an underlying disease and the production by the Shigella sonnei isolate of factors related to bacterial invasion may have contributed to the bacteremic episode.
