Typhimurium-like strains with the antigenic formula: 1,4,5,12:i: was 13.8 per cent, and for the other serotypes, prevalence was 31.7 per cent. The risk factors for Typhimurium suggest a contagious pattern and the risk factors for other serotypes appear were more closely related to environmental factors.
