*Mean per cent of genomic resistance determinants from isolates of enteric fever reported between April 2014 and August 2016 [9].
#Genetic Fluoroquinolone resistance varies between pathogens, for S. Typhi, resistance was classified as the presence of one marker/mutation, For S. Paratyphi A, B and C, resistance was classified as the presence of two or more genetic markers/mutations as the presence of a single marker such as the parC_ [57:T-S] mutation does not confer resistance.
