چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The emergent multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella typhimurium definitive phage type 104 (DT104) is a public and veterinary health problem not only due to its wide host range and potential for enhanced virulence, but also the difficulty associated with its control. There is thus a need to investigate possible antigens of MDR DT104. METHODS Using standard protocols, whole cell lysates, outer membrane extracts and cell-free ultracentrifuge supernatants of selected isolates of MDR DT104 were prepared, electrophoretically separated and tested for their antigen-antibody reactivity in comparison with a non-MDR DT104 strain. RESULTS Protein antigens of both strain types were recognized by antibodies in chick serum in a similar manner for all methods of antigen preparation used. CONCLUSIONS This study did not find differences between the antibody recognition of MDR DT104 and that of the non-MDR DT104 strain tested. This observation should strengthen the quest for the possible use of vaccines to control this emergent strain in poultry.

Characterization of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolated in Japan.

A total of 221 isolates of multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in Japan were characterized in the present study. The results revealed that clonal serovar Typhimurium definitive phage type 104 strains prevailed and that these strains had drug resistance patterns, integron types, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns similar to those predominant among isolates in W...

Multidrug-resistant Strains of Salmonella enterica Typhimurium, United States, 1997–19981

To evaluate multidrug-resistant strains of Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium, including definitive type 104 (DT104) in the United States, we reviewed data from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS). In 1997 to 1998, 703 (25%) of 2,767 serotyped Salmonella isolates received at NARMS were S. Typhimurium; antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phage typing were c...

Changes in antimicrobial resistance among Salmonella enterica Serovar typhimurium isolates from humans and cattle in the Northwestern United States, 1982-1997.

We compared antimicrobial resistance patterns of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST) of isolates from humans (n = 715) and cattle (n = 378) in the Pacific Northwest from 1982 through 1997. The major changes in antimicrobial resistance can be attributed to the widespread clonal dissemination of multidrug-resistant definitive phage type 104 ST.

Multiply Resistant (MR) Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium DT 12 and DT 120: A Case of MR DT 104 in Disguise?

Multiresistant Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium definitive phage type (DT) 12 and DT 120 are more closely related to DT 104 than to non-multiresistant strains of their respective phage types. Multiresistant DT 12 and DT 120 appear to have arisen due to changes in phage susceptibility of DT 104 rather than horizontal transfer of resistance genes.

Detection of multidrug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium DT104 by multiplex polymerase chain reaction.

Salmonella typhimurium definitive type 104 (DT104) is a virulent pathogen for humans and animals with many strains having multiple drug resistance characteristics. The organism typically carries resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, florfenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline (ACSSuT-resistant). A multiplex PCR method was developed to simultaneously amplify four genes, florfe...
