Pulsed field, ribotype and integron analysis of multidrug resistant isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Newport

Prevalence of <i>Salmonella</i> and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns in the District of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

“…Salmonella includes more than 2500 different serotypes (Popoff et al, 2001). Salmonella species can cause systemic infection especially in children and immuno-compromised individuals, while healthy individuals suffer from symptoms such fever, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and septicemia (Coburn et al, 2007;Willford et al, 2007).…”

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella serovars in ducks, duck rearing and processing environments in Penang, Malaysia

“…Mead et al (1999) estimated that, non-typhoidal Salmonella species are the second largest cause of food-borne illnesses after Campylobacter species. Salmonella species can cause systemic infections especially in children and immuno-compromised individuals, while healthy individuals suffer from symptoms such fever, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and occasionally septicaemia (Coburn, Grass, & Finlay, 2007;Willford, Manley, Rebelein, & Goodridge, 2007;GonzalesBarron, Redmonda, & Butler, in press). In recent years human Salmonella infections associated with animal-derived pet treats including pigs' ears have been reported in the United States and Canada (Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report, 2006, while in Ireland, Adley, Dillon, Morris, Delappe, and Cormican (2011) isolated Salmonellae belonging to eight different serotypes from pig ear treats.…”

“…This makes Salmonella serovars that are resistant to multiple antibiotics a continuous and an important subject area of research, and a major concern for food safety. For instance, Willford et al (2007) tested 21 strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Newport and found 20 to be resistant to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ampicillin, cefoxitin, ceftiofur, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, tetracycline, and sulfamethoxazole. Among these 20 isolates some were also resistant to gentamycin, kanamycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.…”
