The most striking change has been a considerable increase in the incidence of <jats:italic>Salmonella heidelberg<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Salmonella derby<\/jats:italic> in the last 5 years, probably resulting from hospital acquired infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>About 80 cases of typhoid fever are reported each year in Jamaica. There has been little change in the prevalence of different phage types of <jats:italic>Salmonella typhi<\/jats:italic> since 1961. Paratyphoid fever is rare.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Standardized antimicrobial disk-sensitivity testing was performed on selected surviving salmonella strains since 1964. <jats:italic>S. typhi<\/jats:italic> has remained fully sensitive to all the agents tested except streptomycin. Other salmonellas, however have shown a significant increase in antimicrobial resistance since 1970. Most of this increase was due to multiple resistance in <jats:italic>S. heidelberg<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>S. derby<\/jats:italic>, and the survival and dissemination of these strains in the hospital environment may be related to antibiotic usage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022172400052797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,15]],"date-time":"2009-05-15T09:50:08Z","timestamp":1242381008000},"page":"5-16","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Salmonella serotypes, <i>Salmonella typhi<\/i> phage types, and anti-microbial resistance at the University Hospital of the West Indies, Jamaica"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"G.
