Description
Summary:	During the period 1982-1992 the percentages of Salmonella enteritidis isolations in Italy have increased from 2.4 to 57.1% from human beings and from 0.5 to 22.8% from food. Seven hundred and fifty-seven isolates, 702 from man and 55 from food, were characterized. Phage type 4 accounted for the 76.8% of these isolates. The majority of strains were sensitive to the antibiotics tested; only 18 (2.4%) showed resistance to three or more antibiotics by nine different patterns.
