title: [The world-wide pandemic and drug resistance of the causative agent of Grigor'ev-Shiga dysentery].
abstract: One of the factors facilitating the global pandemic of Grigor'ev-Shiga dysentery is considered in detail. All Shigella dysenteriae 1 strains, irrespective of the geographical zone of their spread, showed medicinal resistance. As pandemic developed, the spectrum of medicinal resistance constantly increased in all hyperendemic foci. The presence of pronounced relationships between the strains circulating in each of three hyperendemic foci and the strains circulating in different hyperendemic foci could be observed. The necessity of paying greater attention to this dangerous infectious disease, and especially to the problems related to the medicinal resistance of its causative agents, is emphasized.
