Abstract
In recent years, there has been a significant rise in the prevalence of multidrug resistance Salmonella typhi in Dhaka city. To study the prevalence rate and identification of typhoidal Salmonella typhi among the patients attending at a hospital by conventional test. It was seen that 88% (Amoxyclave) of the S. typhi strains are resistant to the antibiotics used against them. Gentamycin, Levofloxacin and Meropenem (100% sensitive) are the best drugs for the treatment of S. typhi infection followed by Ciprofloxacin (99% sensitive). None of the samples exhibited sensitivity to more than four drugs. Typhoid fever occurs infrequently in developed counties but massively in developing countries. Traditionally the drugs of choice were chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and cotrimoxazole but unfortunately the emergence of multidrug resistant strains of S. typhi introduced the use of Amikacin, Imipenem & Netilmycin among the patients. However, now a day’s ciprofloxacin used frequently as a drug of choice but this study, isolated S. typhi are sensitive to ciprofloxacin 95 % that twisted the circumstances into different directions.
