salmonella enterica is considered as one of the major pathogens in public health, worldwide. diseases caused by salmonella enterica serovars are especially prevalent in developing countries. it is one of the emerging pathogen in food-borne diseases, which is often found in contaminated chicken eggs. the aim of this study was to apply a pcr–rflp method using sau3ai and hhai restriction endonucle...

Aim The aims of this study were to investigate antibiotic resistance pattern and molecular characterization of Salmonella Infantis strains, isolated from human sources in Tehran hospitals from 2008 to 2010. Background Infection caused by Salmonella is one of the major public health problems. Despite the clinical importance of Salmonella enteric subsp. enteric serovar Infantis in humans, there...

Background and Objective: Phage therapy could be used as an alternative method to antibiotic treatments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activities of isolated lytic bacteriophage against ciprofloxacin-resistant strain of Salmonella infanits in vitro conditions. Materials and Methods: The standard strain of Salmonella infantis  and its specific bacteriophage was iso...

A 7-year-old male dog kept outdoors manifested severe watery diarrhea with generalized weakness. Salmonella Infantis was isolated from a fecal sample and the dog recovered soon after medication with ampicillin, to which the isolate was highly sensitive. The present case was diagnosed as S. Infantis infection. Due to the importance of Salmonella in public health, soil samples were collected from...

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...

background: salmonella enterica serovar typhi, as causative agent of typhoid fever, is one of the most important endemic pathogens. non-typhoidal salmonella serovars, including typhimurium , infantis , and enteritidis are amongst the most prevalent serotypes worldwide and in developing areas such as iran. the aim of this study was to apply a uniplex pcr for rapid detection of salmonella spp., a...

More than 2,500 serovars of Salmonella species have been reported to date. A multiplex-PCR method was developed and evaluated for discriminating the four Salmonella enterica subsp enterica serovars, namely, S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, S. Thompson and S. Infantis, most commonly isolated in Japan. Twenty-two serovars of 84 Salmonella strains and 7 species of non-Salmonella strains were evalua...

background: infection with non-typhoid salmonella (nts) is one of the most important health problems all over the world. antimicrobial drug resistance is increasing among salmonella infantis species. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of presence of class 1 integrons in s. infantis species as well as its association with drug resistance. materials and methods: th...
