“…According to our study, multiresistant isolates were 39% (n=88), in line to previous studies in Greece concerning poultry and poultry products [26,27]. Multi-drug resistance is high among isolates from humans in EU (28.9%) with the higher levels reported from Italy (63.1%) and Hungary (55.8%).…”

Aims:We aimed to compare Salmonella isolates from different sources using molecular and phenotypic methods, targeting better possibility of understanding the epidemiology of this organism in the Greek context with emphasis in municipal wastewater. Materials and Methods:In this study, we used pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) in combination with antimicrobial susceptibility testing to analyze a total of 88 Salmonella Enterica isolates from municipal sewage (n=25), humans (n=36), animals (n=24), and foods (n=3) in Greece. Results: The higher resistance rates were found to the following antimicrobials: streptomycin (59.1%), tetracycline (47.7%), nalidixic acid (46.6%), ampicillin (37.5%), and oxolinic acid (35.2%). Resistance to ciprofloxacin was not observed; 22 isolates (25%) were sensitive to all 9 antimicrobials, 36%, 25% and 12% of human, animal and wastewater origin, respectively, showing a significant difference. Salmonella ser. Hadar was the serovar with the highest resistance rates followed by Salmonella ser. Anatum and Salmonella ser. Typhimurium; Salmonella ser. Infantis strains were almost pansusceptible. Cluster analysis did not reveal close genetic relationship between human animal food and wastewater strains belonging to the same serovars. In most of the cases, distinct clusters were observed between human and non-human isolates indicating diversity and no epidemiological connection. Conclusion: This study indicates that municipal wastewater would be of interest to further monitor the community's prevalence of subclinical or non-reported S. Enterica infections.

“…Salmonella spp. in the meat is already resistant to most antimicrobial drugs, which is particularly acute in developing countries, where there is a wide and uncontrolled use of antimicrobial drugs [EFSA, 2008;Iossifidou et al, 2012;Rahimi 2012].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of legislation regarding the process of testing the presence of Salmonella spp. in turkeys for slaughter and forensic investigation of the presence of antimicrobial drugs residues in turkey meat. The investigation was performed on a fattening farm, just before the delivery of turkeys for slaughter. Two pooled faecal samples were taken from turkeys and sent for analysis. Both samples were tested positive for Salmonella spp. Antibiogram was performed after that and the drug of choice for treatment was enrofloxacine. After turkeys were treated with antibiotics, again two pooled faecal samples were sent for analysis and now both were negative. Turkeys were sent for slaughter, but at the same time there were some suspicions that the owner did not comply with the time of the withdrawal period for the antibiotic used and a forensic investigation was performed in order to determine the presence of antimicrobial drug residues in slaughtered turkeys. Samples of liver, kidney and fat of turkeys were taken at the slaughter line and were sent for analysis for the presence of antimicrobial drugs residues. All of the samples were free of antimicrobial drug and the suspicions were rejected. Recommendations were made regarding the improvement of biosecurity and hygiene measures on farms and good animal husbandry practices in order to limit the use of antimicrobial agents.

Salmonella species has been recognized as a major cause of food borne illness associated with poultry worldwide. Salmonellosis is one of the most common food borne diseases in industrial and developing countries. The wide spread of antimicrobial-resistance in Salmonella species has been a serious global human and animal health problem. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella species from poultry samples of District Kohat. The isolates were screened for antimicrobial susceptibility pattern by using disk diffusion method. Out of 100 poultry samples, 35 were positive for Salmonella species. Most Salmonella species were resistant to Ampicillin (n=28; 80%) and Tetracycline (n=27; 78%).40% (n=14) were susceptible to Azithromycin, 31.42% (n=11) were intermediate and 28.57% (n=10) were resistant to Azithromycin 37.14%. Chloramphenicol showed good antibacterial activity against Salmonella species. 18 isolates (51.42%) were sensitive to Chloramphenicol, while 37.14% (n=13) were resistant. Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin exhibited poor activity against Salmonella species and most of them were intermediate sensitive to Ciprofloxacin (n=18; 51.52%) and Levofloxacin (n=19; 54.28%).High levels of resistance to antibiotics that are used commonly for human and poultry can be a warning for our community health and this information must be used to form important strategies for improvement of infection control.
