Antibiotic susceptibility pattern and plasmid profile of multidrug resistant Salmonella typhi.
Enteric fever continues to be a major health problem in India and plasmid mediated resistance in Salmonella typhi is known since 1972. Sixty three strains of S. typhi were isolated from blood and bone marrow cultures at the microbiology laboratory of Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute, Chennai, during the period, March 2002 to September 2002. Susceptibility to ampicillin, co...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant Salmonella typhi: a worldwide epidemic.
Since 1989, strains of Salmonella typhi resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and trimethoprim (i.e., multidrug-resistant [MDR] strains) have been responsible for numerous outbreaks in countries in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Africa. MDR strains have also been isolated with increasing frequency from immigrant workers in countries in the Arabian Gulf, as well as in developed...
متن کاملMultidrug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar typhi.
Nepal is having a series of enteric fever epidemics over the last decade1,2 with changing resistance patterns.3 The fi rst report of multidrug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in Nepal was published in 1991.4 In the following years, with the introduction of fl uoroquinolones in the treatment, nalidixic acid-resistant strains associated with reduced susceptibility to fl oroquinolones ...
متن کاملAnalysis of plasmid and chromosomal DNA of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar typhi from Asia.
Molecular analysis of chromosomal DNA from 193 multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolates from 1990 to 1995 from Pakistan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Bangladesh, and India produced a total of five major different pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns. Even within a particular country MDR S. enterica serovar Typhi DNA was found to be in different PFGE groups. Similar ...
متن کاملPhenotypic characterization of Salmonella typhi from clinical specimens and determination of the drug susceptibility pattern of the isolates
Background and Objective: Salmonella typhi infection occurs in most endemic areas. Patients suspected of typhoid fever located in the Badda and Shantinagar localities of Dhaka were the studied population. A total of 107 blood specimens were collected. This study attempted to determine the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Salmonella typhi among different age and gender groups having clinica...
