Since social and economic changes in Latvia in 1991 the incidence of salmonellosis dramatically increased: more than 500 pediatric cases are registered every year. Specification of the properties of the Salmonella strains isolated in Latvia was undertaken. The study demonstrated that acute salmonellosis in pediatric inpatients was mainly due to S.typhimurium (78 per cent) and only in 22 per cent of the patients it was due to S.enteritidis. All the S.typhimurium isolates showed high antibiotic resistance defined by specific extended spectrum beta-lactamase (CTX-M-5).
自1991年拉脱维亚发生社会和经济变革以来，沙门氏菌病的发病率急剧上升：每年登记的儿科病例超过500例。对在拉脱维亚分离出的沙门氏菌菌株的特性进行了详细说明。该研究表明，儿科住院患者的急性沙门氏菌病主要由鼠伤寒沙门氏菌引起（78%），仅有22%的患者由肠炎沙门氏菌引起。所有鼠伤寒沙门氏菌分离株都表现出由特定的超广谱β-内酰胺酶（CTX-M-5）所确定的高耐药性。
