Abstract:
This study is concentrated toward internally home
displaced persons (IDPs), those who are forced to
migrate from their original residence, these migrations
had resulted in extremely high rates of mortality,
morbidity, and malnutrition .IDPs number in Sudan is
more than 3millions, and they live in difficult
situations, these situations placed diarrheal disease as
one of their major problems. The study was conducted
during the period from November 2008 to April 2009 in
Dar-alsalam and Jabel awlia camps for IDPs, both
located at Khartoum boundaries. Their main residents
come from southern of Sudan. The objective of this
study was to study the causative bacterial agents of
diarrhea among them and to evaluate antimicrobial
agents pattern against isolated pathogens.
A total of one hundred diarrheal specimens were
collected from both camps, transported in transport
media and inoculated into a variety of selective media,
the bacteria were identified latter using API
20E,biochemical tests and slide agglutination test as a
serotyping method . The results showed that
Escherichia coli represent 72%, Shigella species
represented 8% , Shigella sonnei alone represented
5% of them and was sensitive to Tetracycline ,
Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin
while the rest was
Shigella
dysentraie
which
was
sensitive
to
Ciprofloxacin,
Tetracycline,Gentamicin
and
Cotrimoxazol. Salmonella paratyphi C represent only
1% and
showed sensitivity to Chloramphenicol,
Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin, Yersinia enterocolitica
also have 1% and showed sensitivity to Ciprofloxacin ,
Tetracycline , Gentamicin and Chloramphenicol, while
Campylobacter species compose 4% and was
sensitive to Erythromycin , Ciprofloxacin and
tetracycline .
