Cephalosporin Therapy for Salmonellosis

Extended-Spectrum-Cephalosporin Resistance in Salmonella enterica Isolates of Animal Origin

“…Extended-spectrum cephalosporins such as ceftriaxone and ceftiofur are important therapeutic agents and are often used for invasive Salmonella infections (4,6). The emergence of Salmonella isolates that are resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins has been reported (7,8,14,18).…”

Emergence of Domestically Acquired Ceftriaxone-Resistant <EMPH TYPE="ITAL">Salmonella</EMPH> Infections Associated With AmpC β-Lactamase

“…Children with Salmonella infections, particularly invasive infections, are commonly treated with expandedspectrum cephalosporins (eg, ceftriaxone) because of their favorable pharmacokinetic properties and low prevalence of resistance. [5][6][7][8] A limited number of cases of ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella have been reported from South America, North Africa, Asia, Europe (France, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Hungary, United Kingdom, and Russia), and the United States. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] A national survey of 10% of culture-confirmed Salmonella infections in 1995 found 3 of 4003 isolates resistant to ceftriaxone; each of these infections was acquired outside the United States.…”

Reduction of pathogenic bacteria in ground beef using a Lactobacillus-based biological intervention

“…Antibiotics are not suggested especially for infants, elderly and immune-compromised individuals to treat gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella unless the illness is severe. Chloramphenicol, fluoroquinolones, 3 rd generation cephalosporins, ampicillin, and azithromycin are some of the antibiotics that may be used to treat the illness (37,115). confirmed to be the food vehicles (27).…”
