ABSTRACT
Ten cases of gastroenteritis due to S. Wien were reported from a tertiary care hospital in Mangalore, in the month of April 2008. Biochemically, it resembles S. Paratyphi B or S. Typhimurium. Serotyping was done at the Central Research Institute, Kasauli, to confirm the identity. The food source is more likely to be chicken or some poultry products. All the 10 cases recovered with symptomatic treatment including antimicrobials like fluoroquinolones. To the best of our knowledge, no documented report is available from India regarding the prevalence of this organism in humans.
