Antibiotic susceptibilities of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and S. enterica serovar Paratyphi A isolated from patients in Japan

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2001 Mar;45(3):956-8. doi: 10.1128/AAC.45.3.956-958.2001.

Abstract

The antibiotic susceptibilities of 62 strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and 37 strains of S. enterica serovar Paratyphi A were investigated with 18 antibiotics. Eighteen S. enterica serovar Typhi isolates and five S. enterica serovar Paratyphi A isolates were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents, among which 10 S. enterica serovar Typhi isolates were nalidixic acid resistant and also showed decreased ciprofloxacin susceptibility.
