Abstract

|
Fifteen strains of Shigella were isolated in the Taegu area during the period from 1973 through 1975. They were typed into 3 strains of Shigella dysenteriae, 4 of Sh. flexneri, 3 of Sh. boydii, and 5 of Sh. sonnet. Among them, 9 strains were isolated from 4,496 rectal swabs obtained from apparently healthy persons associated. with food services, and 6 strains were cultured from 219 stool specimens of suspected dysentery patients who visited the Kyungpook University Hospital. Enrichment culture for the isolation of Shigella was evaluated, and it was found that the enrichment in Salmonella-Shigella broth appeared to yield better results than direct culture on eosin methylene blue agar, and enrichment in selenite broth.
