The authors identified 833 Salmonella cultures collected from various parts of the country in 1972. The procedures for the morphological and biochemical tests and for the serological determinations were performed by means of the conventional screening methods recommended by the National Center for Disease Control in U.S.A.
The results of the laboratory tests were summarized as follows:
1. Of 833 Salmonella cultures, 1 S. paratyphi A, 1 S. nitra, 1 S. kiel, 1 S.abortus equi, 6 S. paratyphi B, 5 S. abony, 4 S. caledon, 13 S. typhimurium, 2 S. coeln, 1 S. oranienburg, 1 S. Thompson, 1 S. bonn, 1 S. gabon, 1 S. Colorado, 1 S. Richmond, 2 S. berta, 20 S. enteritidis, 1 S. regent, 1 S. London were identified besides 769 cultures of S. typhi.
2. The antibiotics sensitivity tests by means of Ericsson´s disc method using seven kinds of antibiotics were carried out, i.e. chloramphenicol, ampicillin, which were widely in common use in the country and the results were compared with that of Salmonella cultures isolated in 1971 as shown in table 4.
