Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of pathogens Farhana Rizwan, Abora Ettela and Forhad Monjur

Bangladesh is one of the endemic regions of typhoid. It is one of the developing countries and as such lacks many of the proper and hygienic facilities especially in the poor urban areas.It can be seen that a large population of Bangladesh is prone to infection by S. typhi.
