Abstract

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis is the leading global cause of salmonellosis. A total of 146 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates obtained from retail chicken products in Shanghai, China were characterized for their antimicrobial susceptibilities, virulence and antibiotic resistance gene profiles, and molecular subtypes using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Approximately 42% (61/146) of the isolates were susceptible to all 13 antimicrobials tested. More than half of the isolates (50.70%) were resistant to ampicillin, 49.32% to sulfisoxazole, 17.12% to tetracycline, and 15.75% to doxycycline. Thirty (20.55%) isolates were resistant to three or more antimicrobials. The avrA, mgtC, and sopE virulence genes were identified in all isolates, while 97.2% and 92.4% were positive for bcfC and spvC genes, respectively. Genes associated with resistance to streptomycin (aadA), β-lactams (blaTEM, blaCMY, blaSHV, and blaCTX), tetracycline (tetA and tetB), and sulfonamides (sulI, sulII, and sulIII) were detected among corresponding resistant isolates. A total of 41 PFGE patterns were identified from 77 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) isolates and were primarily grouped into seven clusters (A-G), each with 90% similarity. The majori...Continue Reading

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Aminoglycosides

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.
