[Isolation of S. mbdakada from a child seen at the University of Messina pediatric clinic].

Abstract

The authors made some diagnostic investigation into a serious case of diarrhoea observed in an infant in the pediatric ward of the University hospital of Messina (Sicily). They brought into evidence some of the causes of the world wide spread of salmonella infection, in particular the spread of new serum-types, such as S. mbandaka, which was involved in this case.
