Drug resistance patterns of shigella strains were investigated in a prospective manner in Etimesgut district during a period of 1 year. Thirty strains shigella were isolated, belonged to three subgroups with preponderance of Sh. flexneri (70%), followed by Sh. sonnei (27%) and Sh. boydii (3%). The resistance was highest with @entity3639 (80%), followed by @entity206 - @entity207 ( @entity1597 - @entity6842 ) (53%) and @entity869 (43%). Only three strains (10%) were sensitive to all eight antibiotics tested. Sixteen (53%) were resistant to three or more antibiotics. The data showed an increase in resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents--namely IMP- @entity6842 and @entity869 . @entity15129 - @entity6842 is no longer the drug of choice in severe @entity6835 , at least in this region of @entity233 .
