Article Synopsis
- In a study from 2007-2008, 270 pig fecal samples from a meat processing plant in southern Japan were examined for Salmonella, resulting in 44 isolates, with significant antimicrobial resistance detected in several serotypes.
- Multidrug resistance was especially seen in Typhimurium and Infantis, with high resistance rates recorded against common antibiotics like streptomycin and ampicillin.
- Notably, this study is the first to report Salmonella Infantis from pigs producing AmpC β-lactamase, highlighting a need for enhanced surveillance of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella in livestock and public health.
