Quinolone-resistant Salmonella typhi in Viet Nam: molecular basis of resistance and clinical response to treatment.

Nalidixic acid-resistant Salmonella typhi (NARST) was first isolated in Viet Nam in 1993. Analysis of the quinolone resistance-determining region of gyrA in 20 NARST isolates by polymerase chain reaction and single-stranded conformational polymorphism yielded two novel patterns: pattern II correspon...
