The antibiotic resistance characteristics of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica isolated from food-producing animals, retail meat and humans in South East Asia

Prevalence and antibiogram study of Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus in poultry meat

“…Foodborne diseases not only affect people's health and well-being, but also have economic impacts on individuals and the countries [1] . It has been estimated that, each year, approximately 22.8 million cases of Salmonellosis occurred with death toll of 37 600 in South East Asia [2] . The foodborne pathogens are responsible to impose a substantial burden of infection in the developed countries, while the impact in case of developing countries is higher.…”

“…Amongst the foodborne pathogens, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) are the most common and frequent pathogens responsible for food poisoning and food related infections [4,5] . Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of enteric diseases in human and animal with millions of illness worldwide, whereas the nontyphoidal Salmonella species as a zoonotic agent are also predominantly associated with foodborne infections [2,6,7] . Salmonella species in foods of animal origin are most frequently considered to be associated with the foodborne pathogen outbreaks.…”

“…Salmonella species in foods of animal origin are most frequently considered to be associated with the foodborne pathogen outbreaks. Improper cooking, inadequate storage, cross-contamination and use of raw ingredients in the preparation of food are the most common factors contributing to outbreaks [2,[8][9][10] .…”

“…It's hard to treat the infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria as compare to normal one. Such strains are more dangerous and of great food safety concern [2,10,17] . The increase in the prevalence of multi-drug resistant Salmonella, particularly resistance to fluoroquinolones and third-generation cephalosporins are an emerging problem worldwide [9] .…”

Acute diarrhea associated with Salmonella enterica in Belo Horizonte-MG: prevalence and characterization of isolates

“…Notwithstanding, prescription of antimicrobial drugs is necessary in some specific situations (15,25,26,28,30,33) . As observed in several other infections, the high frequency of multidrug resistance Salmonella strains has made the selection of antibiotics a medical challenge (8,16,23,34,38) . Chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and trimethoprim-sulfametoxazole could be employed for treating patients with salmonellosis.…”
