The first imported case of XDR typhoid fever in Taiwan is linked to a bacterial strain closely related to Pakistan. Treatment for XDR typhoid fever should involve a combination of meropenem and an antimicrobial with intracellular activity against Salmonella.
The first imported case of XDR typhoid fever in Taiwan contracted with a bacterial strain, which was most closely related to the bla(CTX-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.
