Sir,
Non-typhoidal salmonellae are one of the principal pathogens implicated in cases of food poisoning worldwide. In the UK, Europe and USA, Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) is one of the most commonly isolated serotypes,1 and is thought to be spread to humans through the food chain from reservoirs in food-producing animals.1
Antibiotic resistance is relatively uncommon in S. Enteritidis.2 During 19962000, the overall incidence of multidrug resistance (resistance to four or more antibiotics) in this serovar was less than 1% in England and
