چکیده
16 Thirty-three Salmonella Typhi blood isolates from Lima, Peru (2008-2012), were fully 17 susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone, and 18 tetracycline; 8/33 (24.2%) showed intermediate susceptibility to ciprofloxacin carrying 19 mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region of the gyrA gene (Ser83-Phe and 20 Asp87-Asn); and in the gyrB gene (Ser464-Phe). 21

متن کاملCharacterization of Salmonella enterica isolates causing bacteremia in Lima, Peru, using multiple typing methods
In this study, different molecular typing tools were applied to characterize 95 Salmonella enterica blood isolates collected between 2008 and 2013 from patients at nine public hospitals in Lima, Peru. Combined results of multiplex PCR serotyping, two- and seven-loci multilocus sequence typing (MLST) schemes, serotyping, IS200 amplification and RAPD fingerprints, showed that these infections wer...
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...
متن کاملNalidixic Acid Susceptibility Test for Screening Salmonella Isolates of Reduced Susceptibility/Higher Minimum Inhibitory Concentration to Ciprofloxacin
Enteric fever is the major diagnosis among febrile patients in Nepal with yearly increase in nalidixic acid resistance and reduced ciprofloxacin susceptibility among Salmonella isolates. This study was carried out to evaluate the validity of nalidixic acid resistance as an indicator of reduced susceptibility of Salmonella isolates to ciprofloxacin. In this study, 999 blood specimens collected f...
متن کاملEnteric fever in Cambodian children is dominated by multidrug-resistant H58 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi with intermediate susceptibility to ciprofloxacin.
Infections with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolates that are multidrug resistant (MDR: resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole) with intermediate ciprofloxacin susceptibility are widespread in Asia but there is little information from Cambodia. We studied invasive salmonellosis in children at a paediatric hospital in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Between 2007 and ...
