We report the emergence in Kenya during 1997-1999 of typhoid fever due to Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, and cotrimoxazole. Genotyping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of XbaI-digested chromosomal DNA yielded a single cluster. The multidrug-resistant S. Typhi were related to earlier drug- susceptible isolates but were unrelated to multidrug-resistant isolates from Asia.
我们报告了1997年至1999年期间在肯尼亚出现的由对氨苄西林、四环素、氯霉素、链霉素和复方新诺明耐药的伤寒沙门氏菌伤寒血清型引起的伤寒热。通过对经XbaI消化的染色体DNA进行脉冲场凝胶电泳进行基因分型,得到了一个单一的聚类。多重耐药的伤寒沙门氏菌与早期的药物敏感分离株有关,但与来自亚洲的多重耐药分离株无关。
