Associations of salmonellosis with resistance to specific antimicrobial drugs and travel to Asia, Oregon, 2004–2009*

Drug Adjusted odds ratio (95% CI)†
Ampicillin 5.9 (2.9–11.8)
Cephalosporins 1.0 (0.2–5.4)
Gentamicin 0.7 (0.1–5.3)
Quinolones‡ 22.0 (10.1–47.9)
Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole 4.5 (1.4–14.5)

*Multiple logistic regression analysis for 1,813 patients, comparing odds of resistance for those with a history of travel to Asia with those with no history of international travel. Boldface indicates statistical significance at p<0.05.
†Adjusted by serotype, year, patient age, patient race, and outbreak status.
‡Resistance to nalidixic acid or ciprofloxacin.
