ABSTRACT
A total of 500 Shigella strains were included in the present study out of which 233 were isolated at National Shigella Centre of Postgraduate Department of Microbiology, K.G. Medical College, Lucknow during last 5 years and 267 strains were received from different parts of the country. Predominent serotypes were Sheigella flexneri 292 (48.4%) followed by Shigella dysenteriae 153 (30.6%), Shigella boydii 32 (6.4%) and Shigella sonnei 23 (4.6%). All the strains were sensitive to Nalidix acid, Gentamycin, Kanamycin, Neomycin and Furazolidine. Varying degree of resistance was shown to Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline and Ampicillin.
