[Seasonal distribution and age structure of those ill with salmonellosis due to causative agents with different drug resistances].

The medicinal resistance of Salmonella strains isolated on the territory of the Moldavian SSR in 1985 was studied. The greatest number of multiresistant microorganisms was shown to occur among S. java, S. virchow and S. infantis, i.e. the serovars dominating in the etiological structure of Salmonella infections on this territory. The seasonal distribution of cases of Salmonella infections and the age structure of patients with these infections induced by multiresistant strains and antibiotic-sensitive strains were found to have essential differences.
