    Author: Sodagari HR, Mashak Z, Ghadimianazar A.
    Journal: J Infect Dev Ctries; 2015 May 18; 9(5):463-9. PubMed ID: 25989165.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Salmonella is one of the major foodborne pathogens responsible for outbreaks of foodborne illness in humans worldwide. METHODOLOGY: A total of 560 samples of chicken meat and giblets were collected from retail markets for Salmonella identification, serotyping, and antimicrobial resistance testing. RESULTS: Salmonella was detected in 19.8% of samples. Among the five serotypes identified, S. Thompson was the predominant type (48.7%). High antimicrobial resistance rates were observed to nalidixic acid (92.8%), tetracycline (81%), trimethoprim (68.4%), sulfamethoxazole / trimethoprim (61.2%), streptomycin (56.7%), and kanamycin (36.9%). Although resistance to chloramphenicol (3.6%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (5.4%), and ampicillin (11.7%) was detected, none of the isolates were resistant to ceftazidime, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin, colistin, gentamicin, nor imipenem. CONCLUSIONS: Restrictions on the irrational use of antibiotics in humans and animals are suggested for the reduction of resistant strains.
