title: [Various cases of acute gastroenteritis due to Salmonella Paratyphi C].
abstract: Five cases of acute gastroenteritis due to Salmonella Paratyphi C observed in the province of Trieste during 1975 are described. It is deduced from the clinical findings and the history in each case that this infection was imported, and favoured by the geographical location of the city and prior mutilating gastrointestinal surgery. The in vitro and in vivo effect of commonly employed antibiotics on this species is assessed.
