| Abstract | ||
| From January 2007 to April 2008, 500 stool samples were collected from persons with bloody diarrhea presenting to rural clinics to study the Etiology and antimicrobial resistance of bacterial bloody diarrhea in rural Babylon provinces. Cultural of 210 (42%) samples yielded 217 bacterial pathogens: 180 belong to which included species Shigella (98 S. flexneri, 31 S. dysenteriae type 1, 32 S. dysenteriae type non-1, 12 S. boydii, 8 S. sonnei), 23 Campylobacter, 13 non-typhoidal Salmonella, and 1 Vibrio cholerae O1. More than 90% of the isolates were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline, and more than 80% were resistant to ampicillin. Bloody diarrhea was most common among persons less than five years of age ( 98) and young adults 20–29 years old(110) | ||
