What were the risk factors and trends in antimicrobial resistance for enteric fever in London 2005-2012?

CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of S. Typhi strains resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and cotrimoxazole remained steady for the period 2005-2012. There was a significant increase in a trend for resistance to ciprofloxacin which increased until 2010, followed by a fall in 2011-2012. S. Paratyphi resistance to ciprofloxacin increased until 2012. Specific phage types were associated with resistance to specific antimicrobials and travel abroad. PMID: 28590238 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
