ABSTRACT

Introducción: Salmonella enterica serotipo Typhimurium variante 5- es un patógeno muy relacionado con animales, especialmente con palomas, y asociado en pocos casos con infecciones esporádicas en humanos. Sin embargo, los sistemas de vigilancia epidemiológica han permitido detectarla en brotes en humanos. Objetivo: caracterizar por técnicas fenotípicas y genotípicas los aislamientos de Salmonella Typhimurium variante 5- asociados a un brote de enfermedad transmitida por alimentos (ETA) en el municipio de Paz de Río, Boyacá, en el 2010. Materiales y métodos: doce aislamientos de Salmonella spp., fueron remitidos para confirmación bioquímica, identificación del serotipo y perfil de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana. Se analizaron genotípicamente por electroforesis en gel de campo pulsado (PFGE) con las enzimas Xbal y Blnl. Resultados: todos los aislamientos se confirmaron como Salmonella spp., y presentaron resistencia a tetraciclina y estreptomicina y sensibilidad a los demás antibióticos ensayados; 11/12 se identificaron como Salmonella Typhimurium variante 5- y mostraron en la PFGE el patrón COIN10.JPX.X01.0168 con la enzima XbaI y dos aislamientos de este mismo grupo se confirmaron con la enzima BlnI obteniendo el patrón de PFGE COIN10.JPX.A26.0002. El aislamiento restante se identificó como Salmonella Typhimurium con patrón de PFGE con la enzima Xbal COIN10.JPX.X01.0221. Conclusión: se reporta por primera vez en Colombia un brote de ETA asociado epidemiológicamente con aislamientos de Salmonella Typhimurium variante 5- que estuvieron relacionados fenotípica y genéticamente.


Introduction: Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium variant 5- is a pathogen closely related to animals, especially pigeons, which has been also associated in rare cases with sporadic infections in humans. However, epidemiological surveillance systems have enabled the detection of this variant in human outbreaks. Objective: To characterize by means of phenotypic and genotypic techniques the isolates of Salmonella Typhimurium variant 5- associated with an outbreak of food-borne disease in Paz de Rio, Boyacá, Colombia (2010), in order to establish their molecular relationships. Materials and methods: Twelve isolates of Salmonella spp., were analyzed by biochemical, serotyping and antimicrobial susceptibility tests. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with XbaI and Blnl enzymes was used to establish their molecular relationships. Results: All isolates were confirmed as Salmonella spp. They were resistant to tetracycline and streptomycin and sensitive to the rest of antibiotics tested. Eleven isolates were identified as Salmonella Typhimurium variant 5- and grouped in COIN10.JPX.X01.0168 pattern using the enzyme XbaI; two isolates in this group were confirmed using the enzyme BlnI with the COIN10. JPX.A26.0002 pattern. One isolate was identified as Salmonella Typhimurium with COIN10.JPX.X01.0221 pattern with the enzyme XbaI. Conclusion: This is the first outbreak in Colombia of foodborne illness epidemiologically associated with isolates of Salmonella Typhimurium variant 5 -, which were phenotypically and genetically related.
