Multi-drug resistance in salmonellae isolated from enteric fever cases at Porur--a semi urban area near Madras City.
J Commun Dis. 1992 Mar; 24(1):12-5.JC

Abstract

A total of 249 isolations of Salmonella were made during 1991, of which 67.46 per cent were resistant to chloramphenicol. Resistance to ampicillin, co-trimoxazole and amoxycillin was higher (82.91, 77.69, 81.42 per cent respectively). Salmonella typhi was predominant agent forming 94.78 per cent and Salmonella paratyphi A caused the remaining infections. 44.98 per cent of the isolations were in children. This outbreak has been discussed in the light of other reports from India.
