Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare the changing trends of antibiograms of Salmonella typhi and S.paratyphi A isolates.METHODS A total of 42 isolates of Salmonella obtained from blood cultures patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chinese Medical University between 2001-2004 were included in the study.K-B test was used for the antimicrobial susceptivity test and the results were read based on National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards(NCCLS) of USA.RESULTS Twenty two isolates were identified as S.typhi and 20 were identified as S.paratyphi A.Sensitivity of S.typhi isolates to cephalosporins and chloramphenicol was found to have increased from 2001 to 2004 while that of S.paratyphi A showed a decline,meanwhile there was obviously increasing in resistance to ciprofloxacin.CONCLUSIONS Perhaps the schedule of empirical treatment of typhoid fever needs to be adjusted.
