Abstract
We compared antimicrobial resistance patterns of Salmonella enterica serova r Typhimurium (ST) of isolates from humans (n = 715) and cattle (n = 378) i n the Pacific Northwest from 1982 through 1997. The major changes in antimi crobial resistance can be attributed to the widespread clonal dissemination of multidrug-resistant definitive phage type 104 ST.
