الملخص

In this study, Salmonella associated with infant diarrhoea was studied in agroup of 50 children from people who were brought to Dar-assalam camp atthe vicinity of Omdurman Province, Khartoum State. Diagnostic procedures(cultural, biochemical and serological) were carried out to optimizedetection of Salmonella species in the samples collected (50 stool samplesand 20 serum samples). Serum samples were collected from the cases foundpositive in isolation. Salmonella was isolated from 20 stool samples (40%).Nine cases were positive for S. Typhi, four were positive for S. Paratyphiand seven were positive for S. Typhimurium. Isolation results of S. Typhiand S. Paratyphi were confirmed by serology (Widal test), where sera ofcases positive for S. Typhimurium isolation, were negative (insignificantantibody titre). Co-infections were also detected. Most of the primarycultures of the stool samples were mixed cultures. Escherichia coli wasisolated from ten and Shigella from four. Also, in the direct wet mounts ofstool samples, Amoeba was observed in six, flagellates in five and worms(Scaris and Hymenolepis nana) in two samples.The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed for the 20 Salmonellaisolates against eleven antimicrobial agents, namely, ciprofloxacin,cefotaxime, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, gentamycin, ampicillin,streptomycin, nalidixic acid, cephalexin, tetracycline and Septrin®(sulphamethoxazole and trimethoprim). All the isolates were highly sensitiveto ciprofloxacin, which was the most potent antibiotic used, followed bycefotaxime. All S. Typhimurium isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol,while S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi isolates showed high to moderate sensitivityto chloramphenicol. All the isolates of the three species were moderatelysensitive to Septrin. On the other hand, all the isolates were resistant to otherantibiotics. The results of the antibiotic susceptibility showed that theisolates were sensitive only to a few antibiotics and this may indicateemerging resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Therefore, in routinelaboratory diagnostic work, beside pathogen isolation and identification,control measures should also include drug-sensitivity test.
