Prolonged fever in HIV disease due to Salmonella enetritidis.

Non typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS) is on the rise in many countries. Most common causes of NTS are Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium, Enterica, Newport and Heidelberg and typically present as self limiting gastroenteritis. However, in immunocompromised individuals and children, complications like bacteremia and focal metastatic infections can ensue. Antibiotic resistance is also of concern in many countries where multidrug resistant inhibitory concentration (MIC) of oxacillin to S. aureus was determined by agar dilution method. S. aureus strains with MIC of oxacillin ≥4 μg/mL were considered MRSA[3,4] Population analysis proÞ le (PAP) was determined using standard method.[11] Overnight bacterial broth cultures (bacterial concentration 109-1010 cfu/mL) were plated at different dilutions on Mueller-Hinton agar containing different concentrations (0.125-512 μg/mL) of oxacillin and on oxacillin free medium (growth control). The plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours and the number of colonies on each plate was counted.
