[Presence of Salmonella wien in Campania in 1974-75]
Minerva Medica
|June 23, 1978
Abstract:
Salmonella wien was detected in various patients admitted to the D. Cotugno Hospital between May 1974 and June 1975. Strains isolated in Naples showed the same in vitro transferable resistance to antibiotics as those responsible for the recent epidemics in Algeria and France.
Insights
Salmonella wien was identified in hospital patients in Naples. The isolated strains exhibited antibiotic resistance similar to strains from Algeria and France epidemics.
Area of Science:
- Microbiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Bacteriology
Context:
- Detection of Salmonella wien in patients at D. Cotugno Hospital, Naples, from May 1974 to June 1975.
- Identification of transferable antibiotic resistance in isolated Salmonella wien strains.
Purpose:
- To report the presence and characteristics of Salmonella wien strains in a specific patient population.
- To compare antibiotic resistance patterns of local strains with those from international epidemics.
Summary:
- Salmonella wien strains were isolated from patients in Naples between May 1974 and June 1975.
- These strains demonstrated in vitro transferable resistance to antibiotics.
- The resistance patterns were consistent with those observed in Salmonella wien epidemics in Algeria and France.
Impact:
- Highlights the potential for antibiotic-resistant Salmonella wien to spread between geographical regions.
- Informs public health surveillance and infection control strategies for Salmonella wien.
- Underscores the importance of monitoring transferable antibiotic resistance in clinical settings.
