Abstract
Diarrhea caused by Shigella pathogen was responsible for second causative agent of morbidity and mortality between children in middle and low income east and other countries, in this study Shigella species was isolated from 203 stool samples collected from patients suffering from dysentery from both gender in which attending to Baghdad medical city in Baghdad and Alkarma teaching hospital in Al-Kut/Wasit governorates/Iraq in period between January 2020 to the middle of February 2021, these pathogen was isolated by using cultured methods and other biochemical tests in which routinely used to isolated these bacteria from these stool samples S. flexneri was more common species isolated in this research 131(65%), S. sonnei 66(33%), S. boydii 4(2%) and last one was S. dysenteria 2(1%), on other hand 113(55.67%) was the ratio of female infected compared with 90(44.33%) in male among that large infected was seen in age group 2-4 years old and low one infected age group was found in <2 years old. Also antibiotics sensitivity tests was done, the results appeared that first one active was Ceftriaxone followed by Ciprofloxacin them Ceftizoxime and other antibiotics used in this study appeared variable actions against this species, in case of antibiotics resistance S. sonnei appeared highly resistance to ampicillin(95%), S. dysenteriae showed completely resistance to Kanamicin(100%) while large numbers of S. flexneri resistance to ampicillin(99%) and Co-trimoxazole(85%) on other wise most numbers of S. boydii not appeared any resistance to any antibiotics used in this study.
