Drug resistance to Shigella spp, Salmonella spp and Campylobacter spp in pediatric infection

isolates from children (0-12 years old) with acute diarrhea were examined for the susceptibility of antibiotics. The results were as follows: 100% of salmonella spp were sensitive ciprofloxacin and ceftizoxime. 93% showed resistance to ampicillin, 62% to tetracycline, 54% to amoxicillin, and 54% to co-trimoxazole. The selective antibiotics for salmonella spp were ciprofloxacin, ceftizoxime, chloramphenicol, and gentamicin. 92% showed resistance to co-trimoxazole, 90% to tetracycline, 42% to ampicillin, and 21% to amoxicillin. For campylobacter spp the selective antibiotics were ceftizoxime with 85% and ciprofloxacin with 65% respectively. 80% showed resistance to chloramphenicol, 87% to tetracycline, 60% to gentamicin and 40% to furazolidone
