Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile and factors associated with enteric fever infection in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia

Abstract Enteric fever (EF) is caused by Salmonella enterica serovars Typhi (S. Typhi) and Paratyphi (S. Paratyphi) causing significant health problems in developing countries including Ethiopia. Thus present study aimed to determine prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profile of S. Typhi and S....

Thus present study aimed to determine prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profile of S. Typhi and S.

The study indicated 5.3% EF prevalence where S. Typhi accounted 75%. S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi isolates were 100% sensitive to cephalosporins but at least 83.3% showed resistance against chloramphenicol and tetracycline. At least 66.7% of isolates were multidrug resistance (MDR). Using well water for drinking (AOR = 6.22, CI 1.4–27.5) and previous EF history (AOR = 10.74, CI 2.01–55.9) were significantly associated with EF infection. Thus high bacterial prevalence and MDR isolates was observed. Therefore, health professionals should consider AST and use antibiotics with cautions for EF patient management.Tadele AmsaluChalachew GenetYesuf Adem SirajNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-8 (2021)
