Multi - Drug Resistant Salmonella

چکیده
Among foodborne pathogens, Salmonella present a significant public health hazard as Salmonella caused the greatest number of foodborne deaths in the United States and was among the top three most frequent causes of bacterial foodborne illness in the United States (Mead et al., 1999). In 2002, Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella Newport accounted for 2 of the top 3 most common Salmonella serovars isolated from humans, and both of these serovars are commonly associated with multi-drug resistance patterns; 27% of Salmonella Typhimurium were resistant to ≥ 5 antimicrobial drugs and 22% of Salmonella Newport isolates were resistant to ≥ 8 antimicrobial drugs (CDC, 2004). Multi-drug resistance can present difficulties when treating severe Salmonella infections. Moreover, recent data indicate that some multi-drug-resistant Salmonella may be more virulent than pansusceptible variants.

Emergence of multi-drug resistance among beta-lactamase producing Salmonella.
Multi-drug resistant strains of Salmonella isolated from blood and bone marrow cultures of pyrexial patients received from physicians, hospitals and different clinics were studied from May to November, 1993. Of 2143 samples collected, 424(20%) cases yielded the growth of different organisms. Out of these 266(63%) were positive for Salmonella strains. The strains isolated were Salmonella typhi 2...
