Gentamicin in the treatment of salmonella infections.

1978 
Changes in the ecologyof Salmonella organisms impose the useof highly specific chemotherapeutic agents both in animals and in attempts to combat Salmonella typhi in man. A n examination of the inhibition achieved by the use ofa number of antibiotics against strains isolated from 52 hospitalized patients in our clinic, over thepast three years, has shown the majorityof strains to be sensitive to gentamicin (78%), followed by nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin, chloramphenicol(44%) and other chemotherapeutic agents, including the combination of sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim (28%) and ampicillin(J J%).
