ABSTRACT
Surveillance of susceptibility of salmonelle; shigella; and v.cholerae 01 to antimicrobial agents was conducted in the period January 1990 - June 1991 at Muhimibili Medical Centre Dar es Salaam. Of the 82 salmonella isolates studied 53(64.4 percent) were resistant to sulphonamide/trimethoprim; 50(61 percent) to ampicillin; 31(37.8 percent) to tetracycline and none was resistant to chlormaphenicol or ciprofloxacin. Of 73 shigella isolates 44(60.2 percent) were equally resistant to sulphonamide/trimethoprim and ampicillin; and 43(58.9 percent) to tetracycline. Eight (10.9 percent) of the shigella were resistant to chloramphenicol and 1(1.3 percent) was resistant to augmentin and none was resistant to ciprofloxacin. [abstract terminated]
