Objective To retrospectively analyze information and drug susceptibility of 50 cases of Salmonella typhimurium isolated from children with diarrhea in Shantou Central Hospital from 2017 to 2018, and to obtain the characteristics of Salmonella typhimurium infection in Shantou area in the past two years and to guide rational drug use in clinic. Methods Salmonella was isolated from fecal specimens of children with diarrhea. The susceptibility of Salmonella to antimicrobial agents was detected by disk diffusion method. Serological agglutination test was used to determine the serotype of salmonella. Sample data identified as Salmonella typhimurium were recorded and analyzed. Results Among the 50 children with diarrhea, the susceptibility time of Salmonella typhimurium was summer and autumn; the age of 0～1 was susceptible population; fever and diarrhea were common after infection, and hematochezia and vomiting were rare; Salmonella typhimurium had 100% susceptibility to imipenem, tegacycline and ertapenem, 96% and 92.68% to guacillin/tazobactam, cefotaxone/sulbactam. The sensitivity rate of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid was 80.48%. It was 100% resistant to amikacin, cefuroxime axetil, cefuroxime and cefoxitin. It had different sensitivity and resistance to other antibiotics. Conclusion In summer and autumn, children aged 0～1 should strengthen prevention of Salmonella typhimurium infection. If symptoms of fever and diarrhea occur, doctors should consider the direction of Salmonella typhimurium treatment. Salmonella typhimurium is resistant to multi-antibiotics, and rational use of antibiotics in clinic should be based on the results of drug sensitivity.
