Shigella were distributed by serogroups. Main outcome measures: Absolute and relative frequency of Shigella sp. Results: Sisty-four Shigellas sp were isolated in 2010; 41 corresponded to flexneri serogroup (64.1%) and 20 to sonnei serogroup (31.3%). Ninety Shigellas sp. were isolated in 2011; 36 corresponded to flexneri serogroup (40%) and 50 to sonnei serogroup (55,6%). Differences were statistically significant.
