Abstract

The current study was carried out to estimate Salmonella spp. contamination of duck carcasses and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility profiles and serotype distribution of the isolates. Salmonella spp. was detected in 21.7% (26/120) of fresh raw duck carcasses sampled at different slaughterhouses in South Korea. Eight Salmonella serovars were identified; the most prevalent serovar was S. Typhimurium (34.6%), followed by S. Virchow (30.8%). All isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic, and five remarkable isolates were resistant to more than 10 antibiotics, including third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins. Additional phenotypic and genetic characterization demonstrated that these isolates harbored resistance genes to broad-spectrum β-lactams, blaCTX-M-15 and blaCMY-2 genes, among the most prevalent β-lactamase enzymes worldwide. Based on molecular subtyping performed using the DiversiLab™ automated repetitive-sequence-based PCR system, isolates were classified into cluster A and cluster B. Among β-lactamase-producing Salmonellas, the isolate showing >98% similarity in their repetitive-sequence-based PCR banding pattern seemed to have acquired the resistance gene (blaCMY-2) and thus a distinct multiresistanc...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.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
