چکیده

Thirteen Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and one Salmonella enterica serotype Heidelberg strain resistant to expanded-spectrum cephalosporins were isolated from October 2000 to February 2001 from infants with gastroenteritis in Iasi, Romania. In all but one serotype Typhimurium isolate, resistance was due to the production of a CMY-2 cephalosporinase encoded by a nonconjugative plasmid. The remaining isolate produced an SHV-5-type beta-lactamase. Typing by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis indicated that the CMY-2-producing serotype Typhimurium isolates were related.

Characterization of plasmids carrying CMY-2 from expanded-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella strains isolated in the United States between 1996 and 1998.

Sequencing of DNA from 15 expanded-spectrum cephalosporin (e.g., ceftriaxone)-resistant Salmonella isolates obtained in the United States revealed that resistance to ceftriaxone in all isolates was mediated by cmy-2. Hybridization patterns revealed three plasmid structures containing cmy-2 in these 15 isolates. These data suggest that the spread of cmy-2 among Salmonella strains is occurring th...

Cephalosporin and Ciprofloxacin Resistance in Salmonella, Taiwan

We report the prevalence and characteristics of Salmonella strains resistant to ciprofloxacin and extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Taiwan from January to May 2004. All isolates resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins carried blaCMY-2, and all ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis isolates were genetically related.

The Study of Genetic Relationship Among Third Generation Cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella enterica Strains by ERIC-PCR

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Salmonella is an important food-borne pathogen responsible for disease in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic relationship among third generation cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella enterica strains by Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC)-PCR. METHODS The study included all Salmonella isolates obtained from clinic...

Prevalence of extended spectrum beta lactamases in Salmonella species isolated from patients with acute gastroenteritis.

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) continue to be a major problem world wide, conferring resistance to the expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. They are increasingly associated with genus Salmonella. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ESBLs in Salmonella isolates in our region by phenotypic methods. METHODS One thousand stool samples of acute gastroenteriti...
