title: [Surveillance on Vi-II phage typing and antimicrobial susceptibilities of S. typhi strains in Beijing City].
abstract: From 1973 to 1989, 961 strains of S. typhi collected in Beijing City were tested for their Vi-II phage typing and antimicrobial susceptibilities. The results of phage typing showed that 38 types were found with a high prevalence of types A, D2, E1, K1, D5, D1, O, D4, and L1. The results of antimicrobial susceptibilities showed that all of the 168 local strains were highly susceptible to chloramphenicol, similar to the 96 phage typing standard strains.
