The Study From July through September 2000, patients in five European countries (England, Scotland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Iceland) were infected with a strain of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium definitive phage type (DT) 204b; the strain was resistant to ampicillin (A), chloramphenicol (C), gentamicin (G), kanamycin (K), streptomycin (S), sulphonamides (Su), tetracyclines (T), trimethoprim (Tm), and nalidixic acid (Nx).
