Species and Drug-resistance of Salmonellae Isolated in Nagoya Districts in 1965

Abstract

The number of strains and species of Salmonellae isolated from patients in Nagoya districts in 1965 was 21 and 9, respectively. The details were as follows: The largest number of them was 5 strains of Salmonella (S) nagoya, followed by 3 strains of S typhi murium, S thompson, S mikawashima, S enteritidis, and. 1 strains of S give, S bareilley, S infantis, and S potsdam, respectively.
The strain of S infantis was obtained from a crew of foreign ship, and this is the first isolation of that species in this country.
Their drug-resistance was tested against streptomycin (SM), chloramphenicol (CP), tetracycline (TC), kanamycin (KM), and sulfonamide (SA). Nineteen strains out of 21 was proved sensitive against. all the drugs. The other two, both belonging to S typhi murium, were proved to have duple-drugresistance to the combination of TC-SA, and SM-TC, respectively.
