Abstract
Effective treatment of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi has been hampered by the emergence of multidrug resistant and extended spectrum beta lactamase producing strains thus making the organism an important public health pathogen especially in developing countries. This study was aimed at screening Salmonella ser. Typhi isolates from suspected enteric fever patients for the presence of plasmids as well as ESBL production. Eighty- four (84) Salmonella ser. Typhi isolates were obtained from blood and stool culture giving a prevalence of 17.5%. Results of susceptibility screening revealed that 37.5% of the isolates demonstrated ability to produce extended spectrum beta lactamase in vitro out which 37.5% were isolates from Yola while 40% were isolates recovered from Gombi. Furthermore, 41(48.8 %) of the isolates from this study bore plasmids out of which 25(47.1 %) were from Yola metropolis while 13 (41.9 %) were from Gombi Local Government Area. The most common antibiotic resistant marker borne on the plasmids carried by S. ser. Typhi in the study area was resistance to AmpC Co (20) followed by resistance gene for ceftriaxone 10. Screening of the isolates for extended spectrum beta lactamase activity using the double disk synergy test revealed that 9 isolates namely; Salmonella ser. Typhi isolates GMB1, 6, 13, 26 and Salmonella ser. Typhi YLA 4, 11, 22, 31 and 42 showed positive ESBL activity. The PCR analysis revealed the presence of Blactx gene cluster in 4/25 (16%) of S. Typhi isolates. The detection of some strains with resistance to ceftriaxone as well as ability to produce the ESBL is an early warning sign indicating the need for more controlled use of this drug in the country especially in the study area.

Emirate (Rotimi et al., 2008). The detection of some strains with resistance to ceftriaxone as well as ability to produce the ESBL is an early warning sign indicating the need for more controlled use of this drug in the country and in the study area.
CONCLUSION
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella ser. Typhi is a global problem that deserves attention. This is becoming more urgent due to the emergence of isolates demonstrating resistant to all the first line drugs as well as reduced susceptibility to quinolone and resistance to the third- generation cephalosporin ceftriaxone. The detection of some strains with resistance to ceftriaxone as well as ability to produce the ESBL is a wake-up call to all and sundry on the need to prescribed and use antibiotics on needs basis.
