Antimicrobial resistance patterning and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing for non -typhoidal Salmonella isolated from diarrhea cases in Guangdong province, China / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial resistance pattern of non-typhoidal Salmonella isolated from diarrhea cases in Guangdong province,China.The multidrug-resistant strains were analyzed by pulsed field gel electrophoresis(PFGE) typing.Methods All the non-typhoidal Salmonella strains isolated between 2009 and 2011 were serotyped,then the antimicrobial resistance was detected by the disk diffusion method and molecular typed by PFGE.Results 91.76％ (256/279) S.typhimurium isolates were multiple resistant to 3 and more antimicrobials.Forty S.typhimurium isolates were multiple resistant to 9 and more antimicrobials and 3 out of which were multiple resistant to all the 12 antimicrobials in vitro.96.91％ (94/97) Salmonella I4,5,12i-isolates were multiple resistant to 3 and more antimicrobials.Nine Salmonella I4,5,12i- isolates were multiple resistant to 9 and more antimicrobials and I out of which was multiple resistant to all the 12 antimicrobials1 in vitro.47％ (47/100) S.enteritidis isolates were multiple resistant to 3 and more antimicrobials.Only 1 S.enteritidis isolates was multiple resistant to 9 and more antimicrobials.4.27％ (27/632) non-typhoidal Salmonella isolates was resistant to ciprofloxacin,including 17 S.typhimurium and 6 Salmonella 14,5,12i- isolates.Also,there were 3 1.96％ ( 202/632 ) non-typhoidal Salmonella isolates was intermediary to ciprofloxacin.The PFGE patterns of the predominant strains which were highly resistant and multidrug-resistant had different genotypes and demonstrated significant genetic diversity.Conclusion The situation about the multiple antimicrobial resistances of non-typhoidal Salmonella in Guangdong province has showed the prevalent problem.The PFGE types of the multiple drug-resistant strains prompted these strains were come from different clones.This requires that we continue to strengthen the resistance monitoring and control of the rational use of antibiotics.
