Article Synopsis
- Salmonella is a significant poultry pathogen that poses a risk to human health, as contaminated poultry products can lead to foodborne infections.
- This study examined 26 different Salmonella strains in India, testing their resistance to 14 antimicrobial agents and assessing their virulence genes using specific laboratory techniques.
- Results showed high resistance rates, particularly to tetracycline and nalidixic acid, and revealed diverse virulence profiles among the strains, highlighting concerns for food safety and public health.
Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky is one of the food-borne zoonotic pathogens which is isolated in high frequency from poultry meat in the recent decades and is known for its multidrug resistance. The current study was aimed to isolate and characterize a bacteriophage against S. enterica serovar Kentucky isolate, 5925, which showed resistance to at least seven antibiotics and to study its efficiency to decontaminate S.

STEC were isolated (n = 35) from neonatal calves, dairy workers, and the surrounding environment and their antimicrobial resistance pattern was studied. Out of the 35 isolates tested, 17 isolates were found to be multidrug resistant to important antibiotics like ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, ciprofloxacin, streptomycin, and tetracycline.

A total of 271 Salmonella enterica isolates from poultry (n = 146), farm animals (n = 55) and environmental sources (n = 70) were tested for susceptibility using 15 antimicrobial drugs. The drug classes include aminoglycosides, phenicols, cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones, and sulphonamide-trimethoprim.
