dc.description.abstract	To determine trends in antimicrobial resistance in salmonella isolates, a prospective study of sensitivity testing and serotyping of isolates of salmonella from blood cultures was undertaken. For nontyphoidal salmonella, multiple drug resistance ranged from 20% to 55% yearly. The commonest group of non-typhoidal salmonella was Group D (70%) followed by Group G (14%). Group G strains were the most resistant group. Various antibiotic resistance patterns were observed. Nine percent of 195 strains of S. typhi were resistant to Chloramphenicol and other antibiotics. Periodic surveillance of bacterial resistance to antimicrobials is necessary.	en_US
