A total of 691 children below five years of age, who were suffering from acute diarrhoea, were investigated. Conventional bacterial pathogens were isolated in 133 (19.2%) cases. Shigella sp. was the most common isolate being positive in 72 (10.4%) faecal specimens. No isolation of Shigella sp. was observed in paediatric patients less than 6 months of age while the maximum isolations were observed among 7-12 month old children. All isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, gentamycin and nalidixic acid and resistant to ampicillin. Multiple drug resistant isolates were observed during the study also. In all, 7 antibiograms were observed.
对总共691名患有急性腹泻的五岁以下儿童进行了调查。133例（19.2%）分离出传统细菌病原体。志贺氏菌属是最常见的分离菌，72份（10.4%）粪便标本呈阳性。6个月以下的儿科患者未分离出志贺氏菌属，而7至12个月大的儿童中分离出最多。所有分离菌对环丙沙星、诺氟沙星、庆大霉素和萘啶酸敏感，对氨苄青霉素耐药。研究期间也观察到多重耐药分离菌。总共观察到7种抗菌谱。
