S. dysenteriae and S. typhi were the major causes of acute diarrhea. Most of the isolates showed resistance to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and tetracycline. Patients aged 11-20 years, who feed raw vegetables, and who did not wash hands with soap before the meal and after using the toilet had higher odds of acute bacterial diarrhea. Continuous surveillance and the implementation of infection prevention strategies are needed to mitigate acute bacterial diarrhea.
