The colicine types, biotypes and resistance pattern to antibacterial drugs of 154 strains of Shigella sonnei isolated in two different geographical areas of Iran, are presented. While a difference in the predominant biotype was observed in the two areas, the resistance pattern and the colicine types were found to be almost identical.
