There is a confusion among doctors about the distinguishing between Shigella daisentry and Shigella
flyxnerii because the similarity of symptoms, thus the big goal of this study was to identify the species of
shigella in children bloody diarrhea using diagnosis system included Api2o E., Mini APi and device, Rapid ID32 E
and a Vitekcompoet-2; study their an bio cs suscep bility. Sixty-bloody diarrhea specimens were collected
from infected children less than two years old in Baghdad city. Different Bacterial suspected species were
isolated and the results showed that higher ratio for Shigella flxynerii. It was noticed that infection with
diarrhea was increased during summer months. The isolated bacteria confirmed to Sh. flexineri By ABT-G., API
and Vitek Compact -2. the isolates of diagnosed Sh. flexinerri were suscep ble to Amikacin with 17 mm of
inhibition zone, ciprofloxian and Amikacin 17mm (18mm). While the bacteria showed resistance towards
antibiotics ampicillin, tetracycline and chloramphenicol
