Collaborative research from scientists at the Mérieux Foundation (Lyon, France), the Child Health Research Foundation (CHRF) in Bangladesh and Applied Maths in Belgium have reported the discovery of independently-developed highly-resistant strains of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi, including ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone resistance.
