Investigation of a recurrent case of Salmonellosis due to Salmonella bovismorbificans and Salmonella matopeni using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis and antibiograms

A restropective study on a case of recurrent salmonellosis in a 3 month old child due to Salmonella bovismorbificans and S. matopeni was carried out using pulsed field gel elechophoresis (PFGE) and antibiotic susceptibility analysis. PFGE clearly distinguished the two serovars and that the recurrent...
