RESUMO
In an analysis of over 23,000 nontyphoidal strains of Salmonella submitted to the Microbial Diseases Laboratory between 1992 and 1996, two groups (C(1) and E) were significantly recovered more often from the urinary tract than stool compared to more common groups such as B and D. An analysis of >60 urine isolates from 1996 suggests that most of these represent true urinary tract infections, as opposed to colonization or fecal contamination, by virtue of being isolated in pure culture and in high concentrations (>100,000 CFU/ml).

A strain of Vibrio cholerae non-O1 was isolated from a 48-year-old male in California who presented with a chief complaint of watery diarrhea. Laboratory investigations of this strain revealed the bacterium to be resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and to the vibriostatic agent O/129 (2,4-diamino-6,7-diisopropylpteridine).
