^aThe strain is sensitive to ampicillin (Amp), chloramphenicol (Chl), ceftriaxone (Cef), imipenem (Imi), mecillinam (Mec), nalidixic acid (Nal), neomycin (Neo), sulfonamide (Sul), tetracycline (Tet), trimethoprim (Tmp), streptomycin (Str), and ciprofloxacin (Cip) unless resistance is otherwise shown. 

^bThe strain was provided by the Central Laboratory of Microbiology, Health Protection Inspectorate, Tallinn, Estonia. 

^cThe strain was from a Finnish tourist who had visited the country listed before the salmonella finding. 

^dThe strain was from an outbreak in a Finnish commercial layer flock (10).
