Summary: ABSTRACT We evaluated the antimicrobial resistance of Shigella spp. samples isolated from inhabitants of the City of Belém, Pará State, Brazil, aged between 6 months and 81 years, from 1990 to 2000. We analyzed 50 samples of Shigella spp. that had been identified in the Laboratory of Enterobacterial Infections at the Bacteriology and Mycology Section of the Instituto Evandro Chagas and stored in its bacteria bank. After the phenotypic characterization, 32 (64%) isolates were identified as S. flexneri and 18 (36%) as S. sonnei. Resistance to cephalothin, cefazolin, cefuroxime, cefuroxime axetil and tobramycin was observed in 100% of the samples. However, they presented 100% susceptibility to cefpodoxime, ceftriaxone, levofloxacin and norfloxacin. Of the samples, 2% showed resistance to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, 8% to cefoxitin and 44% to ticarcillin. The results showed a marked resistance to various antibiotics in these enterobacteria that cause serious infections in humans.

Fueron analizadas 50 muestras de Shigella spp. identificadas en el Laboratorio de Enteroinfecciones Bacterianas de la Sección de Bacteriología y Micología del Instituto Evandro Chagas y mantenidas en la bacterioteca de la referida sección. En la caracterización fenotípica, 32 (64%) de los aislados fueron identificados como S. flexneri y 18 (36%) como S. sonnei. Se observó resistencia a la cefalotina, cefazolina, cefuroxima, cefuroxima axetil y tobramicina en 100% de las muestras, aunque las mismas presentaran 100% de sensibilidad a la cefpodoxima, ceftriaxona, levofloxacina y norfloxacina. De las muestras, 2% presentaron resistencia a la ticarcilina/ácido clavulánico, 8% a la cefoxitina y 44% a la ticarcilina. Los resultados obtenidos evidenciaron la acentuada resistencia a diversos antimicrobianos de esta enterobacteria causadora de graves infecciones en humanos.RESUMO Avaliou-se a resistência antimicrobiana de amostras de Shigella spp. isoladas de membros da população com faixa etárias de 6 meses a 81 anos, habitantes da Cidade de Belém, Estado do Pará, no período de 1990 a 2000.
