T1 - Foreign Travel and Decreased Ciprofloxacin Susceptibility in Salmonella enterica Infections T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2011 VL - 17 IS - 1 SP - 123 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To determine antimicrobial drug resistance patterns, we characterized nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica strains isolated in Liverpool, UK, January 2003 through December 2009. Decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin was found in 103 (20.9%) of 492 isolates. The lower susceptibility was associated with ciprofloxacin treatment failures and with particular serovars and phage types often acquired during foreign travel.
