Sensitivity of Moore sewer swabs for isolating Salmonella typhi.
Moore swabs (sewer swabs) have been used successfully to culture pathogenic organisms from wastewater. Sensitivity seems to depend on the size of the waterway sampled as well as the number of organisms present. In Santiago, Chile, we placed 24 swabs into the sewers draining the homes of 10 known chronic carriers of typhoid. Swabs were positive for Salmonella typhi in 5 of the 10 households (50%...
متن کاملAntibiotic Susceptibility Pattern of Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhi and Paratyphi a from North India: the Changing Scenario
Enteric fever prevails as a major public health problem despite the use of antimicrobials due to the emergence of drug resistance. The present study was undertaken to find out the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella isolates from our region. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing for six drugs chloramphenicol (30μg), amoxicillin (10μg), cotrimoxazole (1.25/23.75μg), nalidixic acid ...

S.typhi ompSI constitutes a novel porùt gene. It has seven putative OmpR-binrling boxes and three promoters. Our current model for expression contempLates activation of transcription, from Pl, by OmpR-bindùtg to boxes II anct III (Ctype, low affinity); whereas boxes I and IV-VII would be ùwolved in negative regulation. The fact that ompSI expression increases more thayt 100-foçt upon removal of...
متن کاملSalmonella typhi and Pregnancy: A Case Report
BACKGROUND Salmonella typhi may be a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in both the mother and fetus. Febrile illness during pregnancy, especially that associated with hemolysis, is associated with chorioamnionitis, pyelonephritis, or viral syndrome. As such, S. typhi should be considered when a patient presents with a fever and hemolysis. We present a case of S. typhi complicating pr...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant Salmonella typhi: a worldwide epidemic.
Since 1989, strains of Salmonella typhi resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and trimethoprim (i.e., multidrug-resistant [MDR] strains) have been responsible for numerous outbreaks in countries in the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Africa. MDR strains have also been isolated with increasing frequency from immigrant workers in countries in the Arabian Gulf, as well as in developed...
