Deskripsi
The first imported case of XDR typhoid fever in Taiwan contracted with a bacterial strain, which was most closely related to the blaCTX-M-15-carrying strains linked to Pakistan. Meropenem, in combination with an antimicrobial with intracellular activity against Salmonella, should be used for the treatment of XDR typhoid fever.
