title: [Antibiotics for uncomplicated Salmonella enteritis: are they useful? A critical consideration of the literature].
abstract: This article, a version of an earlier publication (6), reviews the human and veterinary literature on the effect of anti-microbials on uncomplicated Salmonella enteritis. The main conclusion is that there is no evidence for the widely held belief that anti-microbials prolong the time that salmonellae are shed.
