T1 - Salmonella Subtypes with Increased MICs for Azithromycin in Travelers Returned to the Netherlands T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2014 VL - 20 IS - 4 SP - 705 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Antimicrobial susceptibility was analyzed for 354 typhoidal Salmonella isolates collected during 1999–2012 in the Netherlands. In 16.1% of all isolates and in 23.8% of all isolates that showed increased MICs for ciprofloxacin, the MIC for azithromycin was increased. This resistance may complicate empirical treatment of enteric fever.
