Shigellosis is endemic in Central Australia and the infections are predominantly due to Shigella flexneri 6, Shigella flexneri 2a and Shigella sonnei. Plasmid profiles of isolates collected from 1985-9, suggested that infections caused by Shigella flexneri 6 were predominantly due to a single clone, whereas those caused by Shigella flexneri 2a and Shigella sonnei were due to several genetically diverse strains, although strains with identical plasmid profiles were found in widely separated geographical areas and in different years.
志贺氏菌病在澳大利亚中部地区流行，感染主要由福氏志贺氏菌6型、福氏志贺氏菌2a型和宋内志贺氏菌引起。1985年至199年收集的分离株的质粒图谱表明，福氏志贺氏菌6型引起的感染主要归因于单一克隆，而福氏志贺氏菌2a型和宋内志贺氏菌引起的感染则归因于几种基因不同的菌株，尽管具有相同质粒图谱的菌株在广泛分离的地理区域和不同年份被发现。
