Increasing Ceftriaxone Resistance in Salmonellae, Taiwan
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Taiwan, despite a substantial decline of Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis infections, strains resistant to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone persist. A self-transferable bla(CMY-2)-harboring IncI1 plasmid was identified in S. enterica serotypes Choleraesuis, Typhimurium, Agona, and Enteritidis and contributed to the overall increase of ceftriaxone resistance in salmonellae.

Ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar: evidence for interspecies transfer of blaCMY-2 in a Taiwanese university hospital.
The emergence of resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins in salmonellae is an increasing clinical problem. We report the characteristics of a ceftriaxone-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Hadar strain collected in 2001 from a patient with a postoperative wound infection in a university hospital in Taiwan. Resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins was found to be due to productio...

BACKGROUND Increasing resistance to quinolones and ceftriaxone in non typhoidal Salmonellae is a global concern. Resistance to quinolone and 3rd generation cephalosporin amongst non typhoidal Salmonellae (NTS) from Pakistan has been reported in this study. METHODS Retrospective analysis of laboratory data was conducted (1990-2006). NTS were isolated and identified from clinical samples using ...

Salmonella is one of the most important zoonotic pathogens with many virulence factors playing a major role in its pathogenesis. The aims of this study were to detect spvA, int2 and invC virulence genes of different Salmonella serotypes isolated from various clinical animal and human sources, and to investigate antibiotic resistance patterns among these serotypes. Using a PCR assay, a total of ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Shigellosis is a major health problem in developing countries, causing 91 million episodes and 414,000 deaths in Asia annually. Because of increasing trends towards drug resistance, this study was undertaken to monitor local resistance patterns of Shigella isolates from 8 Asian countries. METHODS Ninety eight Shigella isolates collected from 8 centers in 8 Asian countri...
