Abstract

To determine antimicrobial drug resistance patterns,

we characterized nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica strains

isolated in Liverpool, UK, January 2003 through December

2009. Decreased susceptibility to ciprofl oxacin was found

in 103 (20.9%) of 492 isolates. The lower susceptibility was

associated with ciprofl oxacin treatment failures and with

particular serovars and phage types often acquired during

foreign travel.
