During the period from 1982 to 1993, 1185 Shigella strains from the National Network of Diarrhoeal Laboratories were sent to the Enteric Bacteriology Laboratory of INDRE. These strains from patients of various ages with diarrhoeal illness were serologically confirmed. The frequency was as follows: S. flexneri (61.35%), S. sonnei (26%), S. dysenteriae (6.4%) and S. boydii (6.2%). S. dysenteriae 1 is an epidemiologicaly important species because it has caused diarrhoeal outbreaks on the southern border of Mexico that later spread through Central America. It must be considered that the 20 isolates obtained in 1989 were from an intentional search focused on S. dysenteriae. Authors pretend to continue with epidemiological surveillance focused on Shigella and intensify the intentional search in order to identify possible human or environmental S. dysenteriae 1 reservoires.
1982年至1993年期间，国家腹泻实验室网络的1185株志贺氏菌菌株被送往国家流行病学研究所的肠道细菌学实验室。这些来自不同年龄段腹泻患者的菌株经过血清学确认。其频率如下：福氏志贺氏菌（61.35%）、宋内氏志贺氏菌（26%）、痢疾志贺氏菌（6.4%）和鲍氏志贺氏菌（6.2%）。痢疾志贺氏菌1型是一种具有重要流行病学意义的菌株，因为它在墨西哥南部边境引发了腹泻疫情，随后蔓延到中美洲。必须指出的是，1989年获得的20株分离株是针对痢疾志贺氏菌的有意搜索所得。作者们打算继续开展针对志贺氏菌的流行病学监测，并加强有意搜索，以确定可能的痢疾志贺氏菌1型人类或环境宿主。
