A total of 560 Salmonellae species were isolated from Jan-Dec 1985. Of these, 347 (62%) were from blood cultures, 180 (32%) from stools and 33 (6%) were from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and other body aspirates. S. typhimurium were the highest isolated. These were, 291 (52%) from blood cultures, 94 (17%) from stool cultures and 32 (6%) from CSF. S. typhimurium was also multi-drug resistant. More than 50% strains of S. typhimurium were resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, kanamycin and chloramphenicol. The need for coordination between the laboratory and clinical staff to prevent the spill-over of infection with S. typhimurium and its epidemic spread is discussed.
1985年1月至12月共分离出560株沙门氏菌。其中,347株(62%)来自血培养,180株(32%)来自粪便,33株(6%)来自脑脊液(CSF)和其他身体吸出物。鼠伤寒沙门氏菌分离率最高。其中,291株(52%)来自血培养,94株(17%)来自粪便培养,32株(6%)来自脑脊液。鼠伤寒沙门氏菌也具有多重耐药性。超过50%的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌菌株对氨苄青霉素、四环素、卡那霉素和氯霉素耐药。文中讨论了实验室和临床工作人员之间进行协调以防止鼠伤寒沙门氏菌感染传播及其流行扩散的必要性。
