Chloramphenicol-resistant Salmonella tennessee osteomyelitis.

Localized infection following Salmonella septicemia is most often seen in immunocompromised patients (1). In the immunosuppressed patient, treatment of Salmonellarelated infectious lesions is vital and may cause major problems (2). It is of clinical importance to carefully monitor treatment-resistant and rare Salmonella species in these patients. qn the FRG, only 0.05% of Salmonella species iso...

Chloramphenicol-resistant strains of Salmonella typhosa.

Changes that occur in gram-positive organisms coincident to the acquisition of resistance to such antibiotics as penicillin, streptomycin, and aureomycin are well documented (Gezon, 1948; Gezon and Cryst, 1948; Gezon and Fasan, 1950; Ramsey and Padron, 1954). However, with the exception of studies with Escherichia coli (Coffey et al., 1950; Bergersen, 1953) the changes in such gram-negative ent...

Imported cases of chloramphenicol resistant Salmonella typhi.

The Institute of Medical Research has been the national centre for phage typing of Salmonella typhi since 1970. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of all the isolates are also monitored simultaneously. The first case of chloramphenicol resistant S. typhi was isolated in 1978 and since then, these strains have occurred sporadically. For the years 1986 to 1990, all the strains sent for phage t...

Water-borne transmission of chloramphenicol-resistant Salmonella typhi in Mexico.

In mid 1972 an outbreak of typhoid due to a chloramfenicol resistant strain of Salmonella typhi occurred in a small village in central Mexico 83 cases were recorded, with 6 deaths. The highest attackrates were for the age-groups 1-14 and 45 and above. Most patients lived in an area of the village with the highest population density and the lowest income leve1s, close to an irrigation canal whic...
