Typhi) isolates were collected from seven Asian countries during 2002-2004. Multidrug-resistant S. Typhi (resistant to ?3 antibiotics) was detected in 84 (41.2%) isolates and 142 (69.6%) showed reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (minimum inhibitory concentration = 0.125-1.0 mg/l). This study highlights the worsening situation of antimicrobial resistance of S. Typhi in Asia. ? 2008 Cambridge University Press.[SDGs]SDG3ampicillin; ceftriaxone; chloramphenicol; ciprofloxacin; cotrimoxazole; tetracycline; antiinfective agent; antibiotic resistance; antibiotic sensitivity; article; Asia; bacterium isolate; broth dilution; controlled study; disease transmission; dose response; geographic distribution; immunosurveillance; minimum inhibitory concentration; multidrug resistance; nonhuman; Salmonella typhi; typhoid fever; drug effect; human; isolation and purification; microbiological examination; microbiology; multidrug resistance; Salmonella typhi; typhoid fever; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Asia; Drug Resistance, Multiple, Bacterial; Humans; Microbial Sensitivity Tests; Salmonella typhi; Typhoid Feverjournal article10.1017/S0950268808000745184741272-s2.0-61549100603
