Abstract
Three separate but related episodes of nosocomial infection with a multiple-antibiotic-resistant Salmonella indiana were investigated on a pediatric ward of a large municipal hospital. Enforcement of isolation techniques as well as other measures designed to reduce person-to-person spread of infection halted each episode. Prior antimicrobial therapy with antibiotics to which the organism was resistant probably contributed to the ease with which the organism was transmitted.
