Objective: To investigate the serotype distribution of Shigellae in Dali and evaluate the resistance of Shigellae to 12 common used drugs. Methods: Serotypes of 68 isolated and identified strains of Shigellae were measured. K-B test was applied to define the drug-resistance of Shigellae to 12 different drugs. Results: Among 68 strains examined, 41 were Shigella Flexner, 25 were Shigella sonnei and 2 were Shigella boydii identified by serotype. Shigellae showed the highest drug resistance to nalidixic acid, with followed sulfalene and nalidixic and varying extents of drug resistance to quinolones; Shigellae was sensitive to ceftriaxone and cefotaxime. Conclusion: These results suggest that Shigella Flexner is the main infection strains in Dali and ceftriaxone and cefotaxime should be preferred in the treatment with Shigellae.
