Work purpose. The analysis of epidemiological features of outbreak of a shigellosis in Tkuarchal in the Republic Abkhazia in 2013 and efficiency of actions for its elimination. Results. The waterway of transfer of the activator with formation of a large number of the centers of an infection, including family was realized. It is established that an causal factor of a disease is Shigella sonnei I, II. Differences in a plasmid profile of the allocated strain (existence of two additional plasmids - pBS512 S. boydii and pO26-Vir E. coli H30) that, apparently, provided the raised strain pathogenicity, and, respectively, allowed to cause large flash of a shigellosis in Tkuarchal in the Republic Abkhazia. conclusion. The anti-epidemic actions for localization and elimination of epidemic outbreak directed on elimination of a water factor of transfer of the activator with the subsequent rupture of a contact and household way of distribution of an infection provided gradual decrease in incidence and elimination of outbreak.
