title: Transient, asymptomatic colonisation of newborn, Ethiopian infants by Salmonella.
abstract: We performed faecal cultures from 71 Addis Ababa infants. Salmonella spp. were found in 12 of 61 hospitalised infants. None had diarrhoea. Colonisation was most common (8/21) during the second week of life. There was no correlation to mode of delivery, breast feeding, type of ward or antibiotic treatment in this small sample.
