Abstract
This study comprehensively analyzes the magnetically induced current density of polycyclic compounds labeled as "aromatic chameleons" since they can arrange their π-electrons to exhibit aromaticity in both the ground and the lowest triplet state. These compounds comprise benzenoid moieties fused to a central skeleton with 4n π-electrons and traditional magnetic descriptors are biased due to the superposition of local magnetic responses. In the S0 state, our analysis reveals that the molecular constituent fragments preserve their (anti)aromatic features in agreement with two types of resonant structures: one associated with aromatic benzenoids and the other with a central antiaromatic ring. Regarding the T1 state, a global and diatropic ring current is revealed. Our aromaticity study is complemented with advanced electronic and geometric descriptors to consider different aspects of aromaticity, particularly important in the evaluation of excited state aromaticity. Remarkably, these descriptors consistently align with the general features on the main delocalization pathways in polycyclic hydrocarbons consisting of fused 4n π-electron rings. Moreover, our study demonstrates an inverse correlation between the singlet-triplet energy difference and the antiaromatic character of the central ring in S0.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most incidence cancer world-around. Colonoscopies are the most effective resource to detect and segment abnormal polyp masses, considered as the main biomarker of this cancer. Nonetheless, some recent clinical studies have revealed a polyp miss rate up to 26% during the clinical routine. Also, the expert bias introduced during polyp shape characterization may induce to false-negative diagnosis. Current computational approaches have supported polyp segmentation but over controlled scenarios, where polyp frames have been labeled by an expert. These supervised representations are fully dependent of well-segmented polyps, in crop sequences that always report these masses. This work introduces an attention receptive field mechanism, that robustly recover the polyp shape, by learning non-local pixel relationship. Besides this deep representation is learning from a weakly supervised scheme that includes unlabeled background frames, to discriminate polyps from near structures like intestinal folds. The achieved results outperform state-of-the-art approaches achieving a 95.1% precision in the public CVC-Colon DB, with also competitive performance on other datasets. Clinical relevance-The work address a novel strategy to support segmentation tools in a clinical routine with redundant background over colonoscopy sequences.

Abstract
BackgroundThe long-term retention rate of a biological drug is a surrogate marker of its effectiveness and tolerability.ObjectivesWe assessed the probability of golimumab retention (persistence or drug survival) and the associated factors in a large cohort of patients with rheumatic diseases, with up to 8 years of follow-up.MethodsThis was an analysis of the BIOBADASER database (Spanish registry of biological drugs of the Spanish Society of Rheumatology and the Spanish Medicines Agency) on all adult patients who had initiated golimumab for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). The probability of golimumab retention was assessed with the Kaplan-Meier method, differences between groups with the log-rank test, and factors related to retention with a Cox-regression model. Patients were right-censored if they were still treated with golimumab at the last observation for data analysis.ResultsA total of 885 patients were included, of whom 59 had received golimumab in 2 separate cycles (with a grace period of 3 months), totaling 944 cycles of treatment (286 RA, 396 axial SpA and 262 PsA). At golimumab initiation, mean (SD) age was 52 (13) years, 54% were women and median duration of disease was 7.6 (2.8-14.4) years. Golimumab was prescribed as first, second and third/subsequent biological drug in 313 (33%), 303 (32%) and 328 (35%) treatments. Concomitant medications at golimumab initiation included methotrexate (MTX) (32%), steroids (29%), leflunomide (13%) and sulphasalazine (6%). The probability of retention of golimumab since treatment initiation was 71% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 68 – 74) at year 1, 60% (95% CI: 57-63) at year 2, 54% (95% CI: 51-58) at year 3, 48% (95% CI: 44-51) at year 4, 44% (95% CI: 40-48) at year 5, 41% (95% CI: 37-45) at year 6 and 38% (95% CI: 33-42) at year 7 and at year 8. In bivariate analysis, the retention rate was higher when golimumab was used as first biological agent (p log-rank <0.001), in patients with axial SpA or PsA compared to RA (p <0.001, Figure 1) in men (p<0.001) and in those not using steroids (p<0.001). As first biological drug the probability of retention was 82% at year 1 and 50% at year 7. As second, it was 70% at year 1 and 35% at year 8, and at third/further, 62% (year 1) and 28% (year 8). Cox-regression analysis (Table 1) showed that golimumab retention was positively associated to use as first vs second or third biological, to axial SpA or PsA compared to RA and to use of methotrexate, and inversely to corticosteroid use and to disease activity over the median at golimumab initiation.Table 1.Cox-regression analysis.

Abstract
Traditionally, fermentation was used to preserve the shelf life of food. Currently, in addition to favouring food preservation, well standardized and controlled industrial processes are also aimed at improving the functional characteristics of the final product. In this regard, starter cultures have become an essential cornerstone of food production. The selection of robust microorganisms, well adapted to the food environment, has been followed by the development of microbial consortia that provide some functional characteristics, beyond their acidifying capacity, achieving safer, high‐quality foods with improved nutritional and health‐promoting properties. In addition to starters, adjunct cultures and probiotics, which normally do not have a relevant role in fermentation, are added to the food in order to provide some beneficial characteristics. This review focuses on highlighting the functional characteristics of food starters, as well as adjunct and probiotic cultures (mainly lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria), with a specific focus on the synthesis of metabolites for preservation and safety aspects (e.g. bacteriocins), organoleptic properties (e.g. exopolysaccharides), nutritional (e.g. vitamins) and health improvement (e.g. neuroactive molecules). Literature reporting the application of these functional cultures in the manufacture of foods, mainly those related to dairy production, such as cheeses and fermented milks, has also been updated.

Abstract
Background
Autoimmune myocarditis is a cause of dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Recent studies have indicated that leaky gut may allow environmental factors to enter the body and trigger the initiation/development of autoimmune disease. Moreover, there is a growing literature supporting that, beside myocardial fibrosis, a leaky intestinal barrier and gut dysbiosis are pathogenic factors linked to heart failure. The natural triterpene oleanolic acid (OA) has been shown to beneficially influence the severity of the experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM), a preclinical model of human myocarditis, via anti-oxidant and immunomodulatory mechanisms. Herein, we investigate gastrointestinal (GI) disturbances and the gut microbiota composition associated with EAM as potential therapeutic target of OA.
Methods and results
BALB/c mice were α-myosin-inmunized to induce EAM and treated with OA (25 mg/kg/day, i.p). On day 21, heart fibrosis and parameters related to gut damage such as oxidative stress (O2- ions, lipid peroxidation), gut permeability (D-lactate; I-FABP), inflammation and mucins were determined in serum and/or colon. Fecal microbial profiles were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. Firstly, histological analysis of hearts showed presence of fibrosis (Sirius Red stain) in EAM mice, whereas these effects were not detectable in myocardium from healthy or OA-treated EAM mice. In addition, OA preserved the mucin-containing goblet cells along the colon (Alcian Blue/PAS stain). Consistently, serum levels of the epithelial gut damage markers, including D-lactate and iFABP were significantly reduced in OA treated-EAM mice. The beneficial OA effects also included a decrease in the pro-inflammatory mediators sPLA2-IIA and IL-1β and a protection from the oxidative stress response (DHE stain and TBARS) in serum and colonic tissue of EAM-mice. Furthermore, gut microbiota composition showed a lower bacterial diversity and different relative abundance of certain bacterial taxa in EAM-mice compared to control mice. The families of Muribaculaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Ruminococcaceae were significantly affected in EAM mice, and only Muribaculaceae recovered levels similar to the healthy-control group, after treatment with OA.
Conclusion
Our data show that in addition to the heart, the intestinal barrier and gut microbiota are altered in myocarditis, and that OA treatment could ameliorate this profile. Our data contribute to the idea that gut dysbiosis and GI dysfunction influences myocarditis pathogenesis, and provides new findings regarding the beneficial activity of OA in EAM, suggesting that it may be an interesting candidate to be explored for the treatment of human patients.

Abstract
Background:Primary fibromyalgia syndrome is a prevalent rheumatic condition characterized by widespread pain and whose etiopathogenesis is not well understood. Fibromyalgia can also be secondary to other rheumatic diseases like Sjogren’s syndrome; however, its relation to this disease is unknown. It has been suggested that the immune system is involved in their pathogenesis. The role of activation stages and cytokines profiles of CD4+T lymphocytes in fibromyalgia or fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren´s syndrome are completely unclear and could play a key role in the pathophysiology of these diseases.Objectives:The objective of this study is to investigate the counts and distribution of the CD4+T lymphocyte activation subsets and their pattern of cytokine production in women with primary fibromyalgia, fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren´s, Sjogren´s syndrome and healthy controls (HC). The counts and distribution of naïve (TN), central memory (TCM), effector memory (TEM) and effector (TE) CD4+T lymphocyte subsets were analyzed in these diseases. Furthermore, we investigated their pattern of IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, IFNγ, and TNFα production.Methods:Counts and distribution of CD4+T subsets (TN, TCM, TEM, TE)and their cytokine producing capacity were measured using multiparametric flow cytometry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 20 primary fibromyalgia, 15 fibromyalgia associated to Sjögren and 15 primary Sjögren patients and 15 female controls. Fibromyalgia and/or Sjögren’s syndrome were diagnosed based on ACR criteria. CD4+T cell activation stages were analyzed by the expression of the CD3, CD4, CD45RA, CD27 and CCR7 antigens. Cytokine CD4+T producing cells subsets were assayed stimulating PBMC during 6 hours, fixed, permeabilized and simultaneously stained with IL-4, IL-10, IL-17A, IFNγ, and TNFα intracellular cytokines.Results:Fibromyalgia patients showed a significant increase in the CD4+T, TNand TCMcells counts with compared to fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren, Sjogren´s syndrome and HC. The counts of IL-17A, IL-4 and IFNγ producing CD4+T cells were increased in fibromyalgia patients with respect to HC. However, only IL17A and IFNγ, but not IL-4 producing CD4+T lymphocytes were increased with respect fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren. These alterations were due to an increment of TEMIL-17A, TCMand TEMIL-4 and TNTCMand TEMIFNγ producing CD4+T cell subsets in fibromyalgia patients. Furthermore, IFNγ producing CD4+T cells were decreased in fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren´s with respect to fibromyalgia patients and HC. Counts of TNTNFα producing CD4+ T cells were increased in fibromyalgia with respect fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren. IL-10 producing CD4+T cells were normal in fibromyalgia but decreased in fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren.Conclusion:Fibromyalgia patients show an abnormal circulating activation stages of CD4+T cells, as well as, express unusual elevated counts of CD4+T cells producing IL-17A, IL-4 and IFNγ. These alterations could differentiate two different pathologic and inflammatory behaviors of the T cell compartment between fibromyalgia and fibromyalgia secondary to Sjogren patients.References:[1]T helper 1 response is correlated with widespread pain, fatigue, sleeping disorders and the quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia..

Abstract
We report the case of an 82-year-old woman, with personal history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipemia and permanent atrial fibrillation. In 2013 aortic valve substitution surgery was performed with a mechanic prosthetic valve. In her last echocardiogram in May 2018 a mild double mitral lesion was detected, with a normal aortic valve functioning.
In March of 2019 she was admitted in hospital with symptoms of heart failure and 38ºC fever.
A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed, which revealed a vegetation in the native mitral valve that caused a severe mitral stenosis (area 0.64 cm2). In blood cultures Streptococcus gallolyticycus was isolated.
In this situation, a tranesophagical echocardiogram was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis of an infective endocarditis in the native mitral valve. It also showed spontaneous echocontrast as well as a thrombus in the left atrial appendage, despite anticoagulant medication.
Given these findings, antibiotic therapy was initiated and surgery programmed. Substitution of the native mitral valve for a biological prosthesis was made. In the transthoracic echocardiographic control the prosthesis was normal functioning. A colonoscopy was performed taking into account the strong association between Streptococcus gallolyticus and colonic lesions, which showed no abnormal findings. At the discharge the patient had no signs or symptoms suggestive of heart failure or infection.
Streptococcus gallolytycus is included in the D group of Streptococci. Among hospitalized patients, this group accounts for approximately 5% of streptococcal bloodstream isolates. For humans, the gastrointestinal tract is the most frequent entry point, other potential sources include the hepatobiliary tree and the urinary tract. Clinical manifestations include bacteremia and endocarditis, which is usually highly destructive and frequently bivalvular. Bone infection, meningitis or peritonitis can also be present. Due to the frequent association between this microorganism and colonic neoplasm, colonoscopy is necessary to dismiss pathological findings. Typically D Streptococci can be treated with penicillins, ceftriaxone, carbapenems, vancomycin, daptomycin, and linezolid. The preferred regimen for streptococcal prosthetic valve endocarditis includes a beta-lactam combined with an aminoglycoside, to achieve synergistic effect.

Abstract
In all molecules, a current density is induced when the molecule is subjected to an external magnetic field. In turn, this current density creates a particular magnetic field. In this work, the bifurcation value of the induced magnetic field is analyzed in a representative set of aromatic, non-aromatic and antiaromatic monocycles, as well as a set of polycyclic hydrocarbons. The results show that the bifurcation value of the ring-shaped domain adequately classifies the studied molecules according to their aromatic character. For aromatic and nonaromatic molecules, it is possible to analyze two ring-shaped domains, one diatropic (inside the molecular ring) and one paratropic (outside the molecular ring). Meanwhile, for antiaromatic rings, only a diatropic ring-shaped domain (outside the molecular ring) is possible to analyze, since the paratropic domain (inside the molecular ring) is irreducible with the maximum value (attractor) at the center of the molecular ring. In some of the studied cases, i. e., in heteroatomic species, bifurcation values do not follow aromaticity trends and present some inconsistencies in comparison to ring currents strengths, showing that this approximation provides only a qualitative estimation about (anti)aromaticity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are variable reports of risk of concordance for progression to islet autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes in identical twins after one twin is diagnosed. We examined development of positive autoantibodies and type 1 diabetes and the effects of genetic factors and common environment on autoantibody positivity in identical twins, nonidentical twins, and full siblings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Subjects from the TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (N = 48,026) were screened from 2004 to 2015 for islet autoantibodies (GAD antibody [GADA], insulinoma-associated antigen 2 [IA-2A], and autoantibodies against insulin [IAA]). Of these subjects, 17,226 (157 identical twins, 283 nonidentical twins, and 16,786 full siblings) were followed for autoantibody positivity or type 1 diabetes for a median of 2.1 years. RESULTS At screening, identical twins were more likely to have positive GADA, IA-2A, and IAA than nonidentical twins or full siblings (all P < 0.0001). Younger age, male sex, and genetic factors were significant factors for expression of IA-2A, IAA, one or more positive autoantibodies, and two or more positive autoantibodies (all P ≤ 0.03). Initially autoantibody-positive identical twins had a 69% risk of diabetes by 3 years compared with 1.5% for initially autoantibody-negative identical twins. In nonidentical twins, type 1 diabetes risk by 3 years was 72% for initially multiple autoantibody-positive, 13% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0% for initially autoantibody-negative nonidentical twins. Full siblings had a 3-year type 1 diabetes risk of 47% for multiple autoantibody-positive, 12% for single autoantibody-positive, and 0.5% for initially autoantibody-negative subjects. CONCLUSIONS Risk of type 1 diabetes at 3 years is high for initially multiple and single autoantibody-positive identical twins and multiple autoantibody-positive nonidentical twins. Genetic predisposition, age, and male sex are significant risk factors for development of positive autoantibodies in twins.

Abstract
The sexual performance of Anastrepha ludens males of the Tapachula-7 genetic sexing strain, produced via selection based on mating success, was compared with that of males produced without selection in competition with wild males. Mating competition, development time, survival, mass-rearing quality parameters and pheromone production were compared. The results showed that selection based on mating competitiveness significantly improved the sexual performance of offspring. Development time, survival of larvae, pupae and adults, and weights of larvae and pupae increased with each selection cycle. Differences in the relative quantity of the pheromone compounds (Z)-3-nonenol and anastrephin were observed when comparing the parental males with the F4 and wild males. The implications of this colony management method on the sterile insect technique are discussed.

Abstract
Background Cluster headache (CH) has been associated with certain personality traits and lifestyle features, but there are few studies assessing personality profiles in CH. We aimed to analyze personality traits in patients with CH, and to compare them with those found in migraine. Methods We included all consecutive patients with CH attending 5 outpatient offices between January and December 2013. Personality traits were evaluated using the Salamanca screening test, a validated inventory assessing 11 personality traits grouped in 3 clusters. We analyzed the test results in this population, and compared them with those of a migraine population previously assessed with the same test. Results Eighty patients with CH (75 men, 5 women; mean age, 43.2 ± 9.9 years) were recruited. The reference population consisted of 164 migraine patients (30 men, 134 women; mean age 36.4 ± 12.7 years). In CH patients, the most frequent personality traits were anancastic (52.5 %), anxious (47.5 %), histrionic (45 %), schizoid (42.5 %), impulsive (32.5 %) and paranoid (30 %). When compared to migraine patients, paranoid (p < 0.001; χ2 test), and schizoid traits (p = 0.007; χ2 test) were significantly more prevalent in CH patients. In logistic regression analysis the paranoid trait was significantly associated with CH (p = 0.001; OR: 3.27, 95 % CI [1.66–6.43]). Conclusion According to the Salamanca screening test, personality traits included in cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders) are more prevalent in CH patients than in a population of migraineurs. Larger studies are needed to determine whether certain personality traits are related to CH.

Abstract
Transmitted human immunodeficiency virus drug resistance in Europe is stable at around 8%. The impact of baseline mutation patterns on susceptibility to antiretroviral drugs should be addressed using clinical guidelines. The impact on baseline susceptibility is largest for nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Background. Numerous studies have shown that baseline drug resistance patterns may influence the outcome of antiretroviral therapy. Therefore, guidelines recommend drug resistance testing to guide the choice of initial regimen. In addition to optimizing individual patient management, these baseline resistance data enable transmitted drug resistance (TDR) to be surveyed for public health purposes. The SPREAD program systematically collects data to gain insight into TDR occurring in Europe since 2001. Methods. Demographic, clinical, and virological data from 4140 antiretroviral-naive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals from 26 countries who were newly diagnosed between 2008 and 2010 were analyzed. Evidence of TDR was defined using the WHO list for surveillance of drug resistance mutations. Prevalence of TDR was assessed over time by comparing the results to SPREAD data from 2002 to 2007. Baseline susceptibility to antiretroviral drugs was predicted using the Stanford HIVdb program version 7.0. Results. The overall prevalence of TDR did not change significantly over time and was 8.3% (95% confidence interval, 7.2%–9.5%) in 2008–2010. The most frequent indicators of TDR were nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) mutations (4.5%), followed by nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) mutations (2.9%) and protease inhibitor mutations (2.0%). Baseline mutations were most predictive of reduced susceptibility to initial NNRTI-based regimens: 4.5% and 6.5% of patient isolates were predicted to have resistance to regimens containing efavirenz or rilpivirine, respectively, independent of current NRTI backbones. Conclusions. Although TDR was highest for NRTIs, the impact of baseline drug resistance patterns on susceptibility was largest for NNRTIs. The prevalence of TDR assessed by epidemiological surveys does not clearly indicate to what degree susceptibility to different drug classes is affected.

Abstract
Resveratrol is a polyphenol exhibiting antioxidant and neuroprotective effects in neurodegenerative diseases. However, neuroprotective properties during normal aging have not been clearly demonstrated. We analyzed the in vivo effects of chronic administration of resveratrol (20 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks) in old male rats (Wistar, 20 months), on tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activities which mediate central monoaminergic neurotransmitters synthesis, and besides, on hippocampal-dependent working memory test (radial maze). Our results show an age-related decline in neurochemical parameters that were reversed by resveratrol administration. The resveratrol treatment enhances serotonin (5-HT) levels in pineal gland, in hippocampus, and in striatum, and those of noradrenaline (NA) in hippocampus and also dopamine (DA) in striatum. These changes were largely due to an increased activity of TPH-1 (463 % in pineal gland), TPH-2 (70-51 % in hippocampus and striatum), and TH (150-36 % in hippocampus and striatum). Additionally, the observed hippocampal effects correlate with a resveratrol-induced restorative effect on working memory (radial maze). In conclusion, this study suggests resveratrol treatment as a restoring therapy for the impaired cognitive functions occurring along normal aging process, by preventing 5-HT, DA, and NA neurotransmission decline.

Abstract
An understanding of biofilm formation is relevant to the design of biological strategies to improve the efficiency of the bioleaching process and to prevent environmental damages caused by acid mine/rock drainage. For this reason, our laboratory is focused on the characterization of the molecular mechanisms involved in biofilm formation in different biomining bacteria. In many bacteria, the intracellular levels of c-di-GMP molecules regulate the transition from the motile planktonic state to sessile community-based behaviors, such as biofilm development, through different kinds of effectors. Thus, we recently started a study of the c-di-GMP pathway in several biomining bacteria including Acidithiobacillus caldus. C-di-GMP molecules are synthesized by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) and degraded by phosphodiesterases (PDEs). We previously reported the existence of intermediates involved in c-di-GMP pathway from different Acidithiobacillus species. Here, we report our work related to At. caldus ATCC 51756. We identified several putative-ORFs encoding DGC and PDE and effector proteins. By using total RNA extracted from At. caldus cells and RT-PCR, we demonstrated that these genes are expressed. We also demonstrated the presence of c-di-GMP by mass spectrometry and showed that genes for several of the DGC enzymes were functional by heterologous genetic complementation in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium mutants. Moreover, we developed a DGC defective mutant strain (Δc1319) that strongly indicated that the c-di-GMP pathway regulates the swarming motility and adherence to sulfur surfaces by At. caldus. Together, our results revealed that At. caldus possesses a functional c-di-GMP pathway which could be significant for ores colonization during the bioleaching process.

Abstract
The electron delocalization of benzene (C6H6) and hexafluorobenzene (C6F6) was analyzed in terms of the induced magnetic field, nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS), and ring current strength (RCS). The computed out-of-plane component of the induced magnetic field at a distance (r) greater than or equal to 1.0 Å above the ring center correlates well (R (2)>0.99) with the RCS value. According to these criteria, fluorination has two effects on the C6 skeleton; concomitantly, the resonant effects diminish the π electron delocalization and the inductive effects decrease the charge density at the ring center and therefore reduce the magnitude of the paratropic current generated in this region. The equilibrium between both effects decreases aromaticity in the fluorinated benzene derivatives. These results can be extrapolated to determine the aromaticity of any derivative within the series of fluorinated benzene derivatives (C6H(6-n)F n , where n=1-5).

Abstract
We report classical and replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations that establish the mechanisms underpinning the growth kinetics of a binary mix of nanorings that form striped nanotubes via self-assembly. A step-growth coalescence model captures the growth process of the nanotubes, which suggests that high aspect ratio nanostructures can grow by obeying the universal laws of self-similar coarsening, contrary to systems that grow through nucleation and elongation. Notably, striped patterns do not depend on specific growth mechanisms, but are governed by tempering conditions that control the likelihood of depropagation and fragmentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Shigellosis is a global human health problem causing an important morbidity among travellers returning from tropical areas. This study was aimed to describe the evolution of antimicrobial resistance profile in Shigella spp. isolated between the years 1995-2010 in patients with traveller's diarrhoea (TD) returning from tropical areas. METHODS The levels of antimicrobial resistance were tested in a total of 191 Shigella spp. isolated during the period from 1995 to 2010. RESULTS A decrease of cases of diarrhoea caused by Shigella has been observed in recent years. A wide spectrum of antibiotic resistance was observed among Shigella spp. These isolates showed high levels of resistance to tetracycline (84%), co-trimoxazole (75.5%), and ampicillin (45.5%). The resistance was low to ciprofloxacin (2.1%), azithromycin (3.9%) and furazolidone (8.4%). According to the period, in the case of ampicillin, amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid, chloramphenicol, values of resistance were significantly decreasing from 1995-2000 to 2001-2010, (62.5% vs. 28.4%, 19.8% vs. 6.6%, 23.4 vs. 10.4%, respectively). Meanwhile in nalidixic acid and tetracycline the evolution of resistance has increased over time. CONCLUSIONS A decrease in the isolation number of Shigella spp. causing TD has been observed. Differential trends in the evolution of the levels of resistance to the tested antibacterial agents have been observed.
