Abstract

In 1969, 1970 and 1971 respectively, 11761, 13844 and 20053Salmonella strains were screened for resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline. It was found that in these years respectively 23.4%, 19.3% and 15.1% of the isolated strains were resistant to one or more of these antibiotics. Most strains appeared to be only tetracycline-resistant. Resistance to chloramphenicol remained low (0.56% and less). During 1971 64 kanamycin-resistant strains (0.32%) were isolated. Resistance was largely confined toS. typhimurium andS. panama.
