Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted, between June and November 1993, to determine the prevalence of Salmonella excretion in a representative sample (n = 300) of adult cattle, chosen by strict random sampling of the isolated bovine population in Gozo. Salmonellae were found in 41.3% of the cattle investigated, and seven animals yielded multiple Salmonella serovars. The total number of Salmonella isolates was 131. These included Salmonella Croft (55 isolates), S. Telaviv (29), S. Montevideo (17), S. Kpeme (7), S. Infantis (2) and S. Abadina (1). A seventh serovar (14 isolates) was found to have a novel antigenic structure: the name S. Gozo was proposed, and was accepted by the World Health Organisation Salmonella Reference Centre. All isolates were sensitive to four antibiotics, while 43% of the Salmonella strains were sensitive to nine antibiotics. No resistance was detected to cefuroxime, ciprofloxacin and gentamicin.

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.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antifungals

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.
