“…Another notable finding was the emergence of multidrugresistant Salmonella serovar Paratyphi B variation Java strains in chickens. From 1996, 73.2% of these isolates were resistant to more than one antimicrobial drug, with resistance to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, furazolidone, and flumequine predominating (20). This serovar emerged in The Netherlands in 1996, and its prevalence has since increased, being the predominant serotype found in chickens and chicken products in 2001 (30 and 43% of all Salmonella isolates, respectively), replacing Salmonella serovar Enteritidis (16,18).…”

We monitored antimicrobial susceptibility data for Salmonella strains isolated from humans, cattle, pigs, and chickens in The Netherlands from 1984 to 2001 in order to provide insight into the dynamics of resistance over time. The strains were tested for their susceptibilities to seven antimicrobial agents by the agar diffusion method. Resistance was most common in Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium. Among the strains from humans, pigs, and chickens, it was found that the level of resistance of serovar Typhimurium strains to tetracycline, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole increased from 1984 to 2001. This increase could be attributed to the emergence of multidrug-resistant serovar Typhimurium DT 104. Among the strains from cattle, it was found that the level of resistance of serovar Typhimurium strains, which was already very high in the 1980s, declined during the study period to the same levels as those for the strains from the other species from 1996 to 2001. Serovar Enteritidis isolates remained susceptible during the entire survey period. Among serovar Paratyphi B variation Java strains isolated from chickens, resistance to furazolidone, flumequine, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and ampicillin emerged, although furazolidone was not used after 1990. Together, the data indicate that the levels and patterns of resistance differed considerably between Salmonella serovars isolated from one host species.Nontyphoid salmonellosis is a major zoonotic disease. In The Netherlands, with a population of 15.8 million, it has been estimated that approximately 50,000 cases of salmonellosis occurred in 1999 (19). The emergence of resistance to antimicrobial drugs within the salmonellae is a problem for humans and animals worldwide. The extensive use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine has led to an increase in multidrug-resistant strains. Salmonella strains may acquire resistance in food animals before transmission to humans through the food chain (15). Therefore, surveillance for antimicrobial resistance in humans and food animals is important in order to detect changes in susceptibility, to implement control measures on the use of antimicrobial drugs, and to prevent the further spread of multidrug-resistant strains. We reviewed susceptibility data for Salmonella strains isolated from humans, cattle, pigs, and chickens in The Netherlands for routine surveillance from 1984 to 2001. We analyzed whether the levels of resistance to antimicrobials increased with time and whether changes in susceptibility coincided for the Salmonella strains isolated from the different sources. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bacterial isolates. (i) Human isolates.A total of 45,198 Salmonella isolates tested for antimicrobial resistance were included in this study. The isolates were sent to the Dutch National Institute of Public Health (RIVM) by the Dutch regional public health laboratories. All strains were the first isolates recovered from patients with salmonellosis (clinical isolates). A...

“…S. Paratyphi B variant Java (76.4%) and S. Heildelberg (22.7%) were the most prevalent serovars isolated from broiler farms in two distinct regions (Cundinamarca and Santander) of Colombia (Donado-Godoy et al, 2012), thus, this serovar might be distributed in broiler farms across the country and its potential association with natural outbreaks of paratyphoid disease reported by the National Institute of Health (INS, 2015), is worthy of investigation. S. Paratyphi B var Java has been isolated from poultry from Netherlands (Van Pelt et al, 2003) and Germany (Dorn et al, 2001), from chicken viscera at two slaughter plants in the state of Zulia, Venezuela (Boscan et al, 2005), from chicken in Belgium (De Jong et al, 2014), and from breeders and broiler farms in Bangladesh (Barua et al, 2013). In Bangladesh, it was also isolated from blood of patients with clinically diagnosed enteric fever at similar proportions to S. Typhi but with higher resistance rates (Afroz et al, 2014), highlighting an increased risk upon its eventual transmission to human.…”

“…Reports in Eurosurveillance show that in the Netherlands the proportion of Salmonella isolates in poultry accounted for by S. Java increased from less than 2 % prior to 1996 to 60 % in 2002. Despite likely exposure through the food chain, cases of S. Java infection in humans remain rare in the Netherlands (0.3 % of all Salmonella infections), although molecular typing has shown that 50 % of human isolates are identical to the poultry clone (van Pelt et al, 2003). The antimicrobial resistance monitoring report for the Netherlands for 2009 (MARAN, 2009) records that, of all ESBL-producing isolates, 22 (67 %) belonged to S. Java derived either from poultry or from an unspecified source.…”

The antimicrobial resistance data on zoonotic and indicator bacteria in 2010, submitted by 26 European Union Member States, were jointly analysed by the European Food Safety Authority and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Data covered resistance in zoonotic Salmonella and Campylobacter from humans, food and animals, and in indicator Escherichia coli and enterococci from animals and food. Some data on meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in animals and food were also included. In isolates from humans, resistance was mainly interpreted using clinical breakpoints, whereas in animal and food isolates, microbiological resistance was defined using epidemiological cut-off values. No major changes in resistance in monitored bacteria were observed compared with previous years. Resistance was commonly found in isolates from humans, animals and food, although disparities in resistance were frequently observed between Member States. High resistance levels were recorded to ampicillin, tetracyclines and sulfonamides in Salmonella isolates from humans, whereas resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones remained low. In Salmonella and indicator E. coli isolates from fowl, pigs, cattle and meat thereof, resistance to tetracyclines, ampicillin and sulfonamides was also commonly detected, whereas resistance to third-generation cephalosporins was low. Moderate to high levels of ciprofloxacin (a fluoroquinolone) resistance were observed in Salmonella isolates from turkeys, fowl and broiler meat. In Campylobacter isolates from human cases, resistance to ampicillin, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and tetracyclines was high, while resistance to erythromycin was recorded at low to moderate levels. High resistance to ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and tetracyclines was also observed in Campylobacter isolates from fowl, broiler meat, pigs and cattle, whereas much lower levels were observed for erythromycin and gentamicin. Among the indicator enterococci isolates from animals and food, resistance to tetracyclines and erythromycin was commonly detected. Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was detected in some animal species and food of animal origin. mission is to identify, assess and communicate current and emerging threats to human health posed by infectious diseases. In order to achieve this mission, ECDC works in partnership with national public health bodies across Europe to strengthen and develop EU-wide disease surveillance and early warning systems. By working with experts throughout Europe, ECDC pools Europe's knowledge in health so as to develop authoritative scientific opinions about the risks posed by current and emerging infectious diseases. About the report SummaryZoonoses are infections and diseases that are transmissible between animals and humans. Infection can be acquired directly from animals, or through the ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs or other indirect contact. The severity of these infections in humans can vary from mild and asymptomatic to serio...
