Re-emergence of susceptibility to conventionally used drugs among strains of Salmonella Typhi in central west India.
INTRODUCTION Typhoid fever (enteric fever) is a global health problem causing high morbidity and mortality, especially in endemic areas such as India. The problem is exacerbated as the causative agent, Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), rapidly develops resistance to drugs used in treatment. However, non-responsiveness of S. Typhi to quinolones has been reported s...
متن کاملImported 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...
متن کاملNeonatal sepsis due to Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi A.
Sepsis due to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi A is rare in neonates. Though described as a mild and unrecognized illness in infants, life-threatening complications and even deaths have been reported. We present five cases of neonatal septicaemia due to S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A. The cases were presented because of their interesting clinical presentations and possible modes of ...
متن کاملOxolinic acid in the treatment of typhoid fever due to chloramphenicol-resistant strains of Salmonella typhi.
Of 28 strains of Salmonella typhosa collected in late 1972 in Vietnam, 4 had minimum inhibitory concentrations to chloramphenicol of >100 mug/ml. Median minimum inhibitory concentrations of all strains to oxolinic acid were 0.39 mug/ml; ampicillin, 6.25 mug/ml; amoxicillin, 0.39 mug/ml. Widespread typhoid fever appeared in mid-1973 with more than three-fourths of strains found to be resistant t...
متن کاملMolecular Typing of Salmonella paratyphi B and Salmonella paratyphi C Isolates from Clinical Samples in Iran
Background & Objective: Molecular typing is an important tool in surveillance and outbreak investigations of human Salmonella infections. In this study, Subtyping of Salmonella Paratyphi B and C isolates derived from Iranian patients was carried out by RAPD-PCR to assess the extent of genetic diversity of these isolates. Materials & Methods: Fourteen Salmonella isolates including 6 strains of S...
