ABSTRACT
Antibiotic susceptibility pattern in cases of acute gonococcal urethritis, was studied by single disc diffusion technique and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by agar dilution technique were determined for 5 antibiotics, viz penicillin, ampicillin, tetracycline, gentamicin and norfloxacin. All the penicillinase producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) and non-PPNG strains were sensitive to norfloxacin. 72% of the isolates belonged to serogroup WII/WIII by co-agglutination technique.

A total of 156 strains of Salmonella isolated at T.N. Medical College and B.Y.L. Nair Ch. Hospital, Bombay over a period of 5 years from 1983 to 1987 were subjected to Phage Typing. Out of the 111 Salmonella typhi strains, phage type A was found in highest proportion (45.95%), followed by phage type E1 (15.32%), 0(9.91%), Deg. Vi. (9.91%) and C5(5.41%). Salmonella paratyphi A had phage type pattern of 1(60.0%), 2(22.86%) and Untypable (14.29%). Majority of the Salmonella typhimurium isolates (90.0%) were untypable.
