Molecular clonality and antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella entericaserovars Enteritidis and Infantis from broilers in three Northern regions of Iran

Abstract: BackgroundMultidrug-resistant Salmonella strains are frequently encountered problems worldwide with considerable increased occurrences in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and frequency of antimicrobial resistance and associated resistance genes in Salmonella isolates from broiler farms in different regions of Iran covering a time period of four years.ResultsFrom 2007 to 2011, 36 Salmonella strains were isolated from broiler farms located in three northern provinces of Iran.… Show more

“…from animal and human by PFGE as well as the other methods, proved that PFGE is probably the most effective molecular technique (5). Similarly, in recent work in Iran, Rahmani et al in 2013 reported that the results obtained from serotyping and PFGE patterns are practical for determining the current distribution of MDR serotypes of Salmonella and epidemiological state of isolates circulating among poultry (23). These two results were the same as our results.…”

“…[30][31][32] Our study indicated that Salmonella isolates were most frequently resistant to tetracycline (77.12%), sulfisoxazole (66.62%), and nalidixic acid (64.74%), and this was consistent with the findings of other studies. 33,34 This study presented that 92.92% of the class I integron-positive isolates were resistant to at least two antibiotics, and this exhibited a good evidence for the relationship between the presence of class I integron and the emerging of MDR in gram-negative bacteria. 12,29 Integron, a mobile DNA element, is known to contain one or more linked antimicrobial resistance genes and can transfer these genes among bacteria.…”

“…Resistance to ciprofloxacin was reported to be 66.7% to 100%, especially in Germany, Slovakia, Bulgaria and Austria [4] , while the study strains showed sensitivity to ciprofloxacin. Also high frequency of resistance to ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid for S. Infantis was reported in several reports in Iran too [22,23] . Quinolones were used frequently in treatment regimens and also as a feed additives in poultry industry [24] .…”
