Present phage types and antibiotic susceptibility of salmonellae.
A total of 168 strains of Salmonella were isolated in the Command Pathology Laboratory (WC) Delhi Cantt during the year 1990. Out of this, 143 were Salmonella typhi, 17 Salmonella paratyphi A, 7 Salmonella typhimurium and 1 Salmonella manhattan. The commonest phage type and biotype of Salmonella typhi was type E1 and type 1 respectively. The dominant biotype of Salmonella paratyphi A was type I. There was a very high degree of multidrug resistance of most of the strains. But all the strains were sensitive to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin.
