Dissemination of Zoonotic Antibiotic Resistant Serotypes of Salmonella by Caspian Pond Turtles, Golestan and Mazandaran Provinces, Iran

Detection of Zoonotic Antibiotic Resistant Salmonella spp. Carrying Virulence Genes in Rural Mus musculus, Golestan Province, North of Iran

“…17 Similar to this study, previous studies on the other animal species (e.g., cats, dogs, turtles, sheep, and jackals) with different nutritional and behavioral patterns in Golestan province indicate that S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis are the two most common Salmonella spp., which affect animals in Golestan province. [24][25][26][27][28] Generally, dominant serotypes may vary in different regions and in different periods of time depending on the main carrier species, the rate of antibiotics usage and the host population density. 1,29 The main sources of S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis, which had contaminated sampled house mice, were not determined in this study.…”

“…This can indicate Salmonella transmission chain in these animals. [24][25][26][27][28] However, the results of various studies indicate that the antibiotic resistance pattern of bacteria varies in different regions and times depending on Salmonella serotype, animal host species, the category and dosage of common antibiotics. 1…”
