Anti-microbial Resistance surveillance in typhoidal Salmonella in Ahmedabad Objective

Typhoidal Salmonella and Emerging Resistance in Outbreak Proportions

Introduction: Typhoidal Salmonella causes an invasive infection resulting in 200 000 deaths among 20 million patients annually. Typhoid remains a public health problem in Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, and South America. Traveler’s diarrhea caused by Salmonella is common in Asia. Outbreaks of typhoidal Salmonella resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and t...

Drug Resistance Patterns of Typhoidal and Non-typhoidal Salmonella Species in Hamadan

ABSTRACT The epidemiological studies indicate that the incidence of salmonellosis is increasing throughout the world. The uncontroled and unappropriate usage of antibiotics has been caused multi - drug resistance in these organisms, in recent years. In a cross-sectional descriptive study, 204 strains of typhoidal salmonella (T.S) and 114 strains of non-typhoidal salmonella (N.T.S) were exami...

Frequency of typhoidal and non-typhoidal salmonella species and detection of their drugs resistance patterns.

BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence of typhoidal and non-typhoidal Salmonella species in Hamadan City, west of Iarn and detection of antibiotic susceptibility patterns of isolates. METHODS In a cross-sectional descriptive study, 296 Salmonella species including 192 strains of typhoidal Salmonella and 104 strains of non- typhoidal Salmonella were examined for serotyping and determining of a...

443Non-Typhoidal Salmonella Infections in Cancer Patients

Non-typhoidal Salmonella bacteremia in adults.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Very few studies have examined prognostic factors in adult patients with non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) bacteremia. The purpose of this study was to identify the prognostic factors of these patients. METHODS A total of 79 episodes of NTS bacteremia were identified in 73 patients between January 2001 and December 2003. Susceptibilities to various antimicrobials were dete...
