Salmonella susceptibility patterns in hospitals from 1975 through 1984. 1986

V Lorian

The susceptibility of salmonella to commonly used antibiotics was analyzed for the 10-year period 1975 through 1984. The susceptibilities of 19,200 strains isolated from a yearly average of 211 hospitals nationwide and 1,508 strains isolated at the Kings County Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., were described. Nationally, the susceptibility to nine antibacterial agents, including tetracycline, did not change markedly for the decade. The slight increase in susceptibility to tetracycline observed nationally may reflect the decreased clinical use of this antibiotic during the decade studied.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D012475	Salmonella	A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.

D014481	United States	A country in NORTH AMERICA between CANADA and MEXICO.
