Abstract

Emerging drug resistance in Salmonella Typhi and S. Paratyphi is a substantial public health concern. We report what appears to be the first case and isolation of multidrug resistant S. Paratyphi A carrying CTX-M-15-type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase from a Japanese traveller returning from India.
