Cephalosporin and Ciprofloxacin Resistance in Salmonella, Taiwan
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Recently, antimicrobial resistance among nontyphoid Salmonella serotypes has been increasingly recognized. In southern Taiwan, we encountered 3 cases of invasive infections caused by Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis with resistance to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone. Resistance to ciprofloxacin was related to nucleotide mutations in gyrA and parC, and resistance to ceftriaxone was relate...
متن کاملInvestigation of marA Efflux Pump Gene Expression in Ciprofloxacin Resistant Salmonella enteritidis Clinical Strains Using Real-Time PCR
Background and Aim: Ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella spp. are among the most important causative agents of food-borne infections. The marA efflux pump in this bacterium plays a significant role in the development of drug resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate marA efflux pump gene expression in Ciprofloxacin resistant Salmonella enteritidis clinical strains by Real Time PCR. Mat...

We evaluated the disk susceptibility data of 671 nontyphoid Salmonella isolates collected from different parts of Taiwan from March 2001 to August 2001 and 1,261 nontyphoid Salmonella isolates from the National Taiwan University Hospital from 1996 to 2001. Overall, ciprofloxacin resistance was found in 2.7% (18/671) of all nontyphoid Salmonella isolates, in 1.4% (5/347) of Salmonella enterica s...

To the Editor: Salmonella Enteritidis, a predominantly localized pathogen of the human gastrointestinal tract, can become invasive in very young, very old, malnourished, and immunocompromised patients. In recent years, S. Enteritidis has emerged as a major intestinal pathogen in Trinidad and Tobago (population 1.2 million); in 1997, S. Enteritidis caused 79 (66%) of 119 culture-confirmed salmon...
