Prevalence, serotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Salmonella isolates from apparently healthy camels in Canary Islands (Spain)

چکیده
The prevalence, serotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Salmonella strains isolated from apparently healthy camels in Canary Islands (Spain) were determined. A total of 52 camels from 3 different farms were tested for the carriage of Salmonella spp. in their faeces. Salmonella was detected in 9 (17.3 %) of the samples. All of the isolates were characterized as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Frintrop. Feed (oat, alfalfa, wheat straw and maize) and water were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serotype Limete was isolated from water, while all feed samples tested negative. All isolates were susceptible to all of the tested antimicrobial agents, which included ampicillin, amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid, tetracycline, enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, piperacillin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. These results suggest that some sanitary measures should be taken for veterinarians and animal handlers in order to minimise the potential risk of acquiring Salmonella zoonoses from Camels.

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 ...
