Sixty one isolates of Salmonella typhi were isolated from the blood and feces specimens (49,12) respectively. Serological characterization of isolates showed that 49 isolates belong to 9,12-Vi-d serotype and 12 isolates to 9,12-d serotype.The antibiogram pattern against Salmonella typhi cultures showed different results. The majority of isolates were sensitive to Streptomycin, Rifampicin, Chloramphenicol, Gentamycin and Cephalexin and resistant to both Penicillin and Erythromycin. | ||
