[Salmonella serotypes isolated recently in Ankara from children with enteritis (author's transl)]. 1977

E Berkman, and N Aksoycan, and I Sağanak

The results of serotyping done on 859 Salmonellas isolated between 25/2/1975--6/4/1977 are reported. In the series presented here percentage of S. thyhimurium is very close to that reported by us (91.37%) previously (2) showing that it is still the predominating serotype; But the important observations of the present study are the rises of the new serotypes which took the second and third places namely S. montevideo and S. thompson, indicating that clinicians should be aware of their presence. Under the impression of these findings the authors suggest to include the reagents prepared by S. thyphimurium's (i), S. thompson's (k) and S. montevideo's (g, m, s) flagellar antigens in addition to the routine Widal test antigens in Ankara hospitals.
