Abstract
Enteric fever continues to be a common and serious problem worldwide, and the need for reliable and cheap alternatives to culture methods fo r diagnosis remains. Epidemics of different strains may coexist in the same geographical area and the rapid emergence of resistance to fluor oquinolones, independent of plasmid mediated multidrug resistance, mea ns that alternative drugs for chemotherapy are also needed.
