Özet
Seven clusters of hospital infection due to Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium were documented in the neonatology clinic of a children's hospital between April 2002 and March 2004. Eighty-one neonates were infected. Three cases were asymptomatic, 73 cases had gastroenteritis as the only clinical condition, and 5 cases had bacteremia associated with gastroenteritis. All isolates from stool and blood samples (n=86) were identified as Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium.
