In vitro drug resistance of salmonellae in Singapore.
Strains of Salmonella typhi isolated in Singapore were susceptible to chloramphenicol (except from two imported cases) and most of them also generally susceptible to ampicillin and septrin. Drug-resistant strains of Salmonella typhimurium appeared in 1971 and caused out-breaks among young children. However, decreasing drug-resistance of S. typhimurium was recorded in recent years following a drop in the number of cases. Other Salmonella serovers were found relatively susceptible to the antibiotics tested.
