The antimicrobials most widely regarded as optimal for the treatment of salmonellosis in adults is the group of fluoroquinolones. They are relatively inexpensive, well tolerated, have good oral absorption and are more rapidly and reliably effective than earlier drugs. Third-generation cephalosporins (which need to be given by injection) are widely used in children with serious infections, as quinolones are not generally recommended for this age group. The earlier drugs chloramphenicol, ampicillin and amoxicillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are occasionally used as alternatives.
