Infectious @entity294 caused by bacterial pathogens contributes to the high level of mortality in developing countries like Bangladesh. Following standard bacteriological procedures, a total of 14 428 bacterial pathogens were isolated from 56 132 stool samples and rectal swabs collected from diarrhoeal @entity1 between 2005 and 2008. The rate of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibility data were retrospectively analysed for these isolates and among them Vibrio @entity5645 . (42  9%) were the most predominant, followed by Shigella @entity5645 . (20  3%), Aeromonas @entity5645 . (12  8%) and @entity5746 @entity5645 . (6  4%). A decreasing trend in isolation of Vibrio @entity5645 . (P<0  001) and @entity5746 @entity5645 . (P<0  001) was observed. While @entity1838 isolates remained susceptible to @entity2177 , an increase in resistance was observed in Campylobacter @entity5645 . and @entity14341 . Variations in susceptibility to other tested antibiotics were observed among the isolated pathogens. Access to this current data will help in understanding the local burden of @entity66 and contribute to better design of prevention programmes.
