abstract:
A collection ofSalmonella entericaserotype Typhimurium human strains isolated in Northern
Sardinia (Italy) was examined for the insertion sequence IS200, phage type, antibiotic profile,
ribotyping polymorphisms and plasmid profile. All clinical isolates studied contained from 4 to
10 copies of the IS200element. IS200permitted to discriminate Typhimurium strains and to
identify five IS200types, some of them circulating in Sardinia at least since 1900. Strains
belonging to phage DT104 predominated and correlated with a specific IS200pattern.
