Zoonotic bacteria acquire colistin resistance in animal reservoirs and mediate its spread along the food chain. This is the case of non-typhoid serovars of .

Kentucky) with sequence type (ST) 198 and highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (ST198-Cip ) has emerged as a global MDR clone, posing a threat to public health. In the present study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) was applied to characterize all Cip Kentucky detected in five Spanish hospitals during 2009-2018.

In this study, all clinical isolates of Salmonella Enteritidis recovered between January 2008 and June 2014 in a Spanish region (491) were screened for antimicrobial drug resistance and the phage type (PT) was determined for a significant number (265). PT1, PT14b, PT56, PT6, PT4, and PT8 were the predominant PTs, accounting together for 82% of the isolates.

A total of 61 "DT 104" and 40 pUO-StVR2 isolates recovered from clinical samples during 2008-2014 and assigned to different phage types, were tested for nitrofurantoin susceptibility. As previously shown for older isolates, all newly tested pUO-StVR2 isolates were highly resistant to nitrofurantoin (minimal inhibitory concentration [MIC] of 128 μg/ml), while 42.

However, information on the molecular bases of antimicrobial drug resistance and the population structure of Salmonella Rissen from different sources in Spain is limited. The present study focused on 84 isolates collected in Spain from pig and beef carcasses, foods and clinical samples associated with sporadic cases of gastroenteritis, and one outbreak.

Methods: The relatedness of the isolates was determined by phage typing and XbaI-PFGE. Resistance genes, integrons and transposable elements were identified by PCR amplification and sequencing.
Objectives: To evaluate the incidence, molecular basis and distribution among genomic types of antimicrobial drug resistance in Salmonella enterica (S.) serovar Brandenburg isolates recorded in the Principality of Asturias, Spain.

Objective: Epidemiological and microbiological study of a salmonellosis outbreak, affecting 22 children in a nursery school in Oviedo (Spain).
Methods: Attack rates and epidemic curves were determined, and bacterial typing methods were applied.
Results: The outbreak was attributed to a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium strain, belonging to an emergent type characterized by the presence of a hybrid virulence-resistance plasmid of 125-130 kb, named pUO-StVR2.
