Salmonella paratyphi A sensitive for Chloramphenicol, Ampicillin, Ciproxin, Co-trimoxazole and Gentamycin were 100%, 98.2%, 96.4%, 93% and 84.9% respectively. More than 90% of Salmonella isolates in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital were still sensitive for Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Co-trimoxazole and Ciproxin, and only 0.14% were resistant for three or more antibiotics.
