Antibiogram, phage types & biotypes of Salmonella typhi isolated in Nagpur
Abstract
S. typhi was isolated from 241 patients of pyrexia between July 1990 and March 1991. Multiple drug resistance was observed in 220 (91.3%) strains, the commonest pattern of drug resistance being ACCoT (49.4%). Predominance of phage type E1 in 196 (81.3%) strains and biotype I in 225 (93.4%) strains was observed. All ACCoT strains belonged to phage type E1 and all strains of phage type E1 belonged to biotype I.
