The Emergence of Reduced Ciprofloxacin Susceptibility in<i>Salmonella enterica</i>Causing Bloodstream Infections in Rural Ghana

Abstract

Ciprofloxacin susceptibility in invasive NTS in rural Ghana is highly dependent on serotype. Although reduced ciprofloxacin susceptibility is low in S. Typhimurium, more than half of all S. Enteritidis isolates are affected. Healthcare practitioners in Ghana should be aware of potential treatment failure in patients with invasive S. Enteritidis infections.
