title: Non-typhoidal Salmonella infection in Zambian infants.
abstract: In the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia, 45 strains of various non-typhoidal Salmonella species were isolated from 2990 samples of stools, blood and C.S.F. About 93% of the 45 strains were isolated from infants less than two years old. S. heidelberg was the most common species isolated from stools and revealed a multi-drug resistant character. Only S. typhimurium and S. bovis-morbificans were isolated from blood and C.S.F.
