The threat to human health posed by antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens is of growing concern to medical practice.
This study investigated the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Salmonella typhi isolated from blood specimen.
One hundred blood samples were collected from suspected typhoid fever patients in 31 Artillery Brigade Medical Centre, Minna, and were analyzed for S.
typhi while antibiotic sensitivity testing was done Kirby-Bauer method.
Sixty (60.0%) samples out of the total 100 were positive for bacterial growth.
The organisms isolated 2 include Salmonella typhi; 45 (75.0%), Shigella; 6 (10.0%), E.
coli; 3 (5.0%), Klebsiella; 3 (5.0%), Enterobacter; 2 (3.3%), and Citrobacter; 1 (1.7%).
Result of the sensitivity test showed that the isolates were resistant to all the antibiotics; ceftriaxone, cefuroxime, amoxicillin, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, and augmentin, which are the drug of choice routinely used in the study area for the treatment of typhoid fever.
They were however sensitive to chloramphenicol and ofloxacin, which, unfortunately, are not used in this study area for the treatment of typhoid fever.
There appear to be multiple drug resistant (MDR) strain of S.
typhi in the study area.
These may be as a result of overdependence or uncontrolled use of the few available antibiotics and/or inaccurate or inconclusive diagnosis resulting in the development and spread of resistant strains of S.
typhi.
The study, therefore, highlights the need for a strong collaboration between the physicians and the laboratory in the choice of antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial diseases in order to discourage the development of resistant strain of bacterial pathogen.
