Antimicrobial Resistance Salmonella enterica serovar 1,4,[5],12:i:- isolated from patients in Thailand (Thai)

Abstract

Seventy-nine Salmonella enterica serovar 1,4,[5],12:i:- isolates from patients admitted at the Government Hospital of the Ministry of Public Health were tested for their minimum inhibitory concentration using micro dilution plate test. All isolates were sensitive to ciprofloxacin. The isolates were resistant to ampicillin (75.95%), cefoperazone (74.68%), chloramphenical (41.77%), gentamicin (63.29%), nalidixic acid (54.43%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (81.01%). The highest proportion of antimicrobial resistance profiles among the isolates was AMP-CFP-GEN-NAL-SXT (15.2%). Only 3 isolates (3.8%) produced extendedspectrum beta-lactamase enzyme that cause resistance to cepharosporins.
