Abstract
The literature of human infection with Salmonella choleraesuis in China was fully reviewed with special reference to those written in Chinese language which are inaccessible to many readers. Compared with other regions of the world the ratio of S. choleraesuis to other salmonella infection in Hong Kong is high and is parallel to that in China. Dietetic habits of the local population apparently contribute to the high incidence. The clinical manifestations of 47 cases were outlined and details of the biochemical reactions and in vitro drug sensitivities of these strains were described. Two diphasic H2S-positive strains were encountered.
