AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study investigated Salmonella serovars and antimicrobial resistance in 192 broiler flocks from Kagoshima, Japan, between 2013 and 2016, identifying three serovars: Salmonella Manhattan, S. Infantis, and S. Schwarzengrund.
  • - S. Schwarzengrund has become the dominant serovar with increasing prevalence, while most isolates showed high resistance to drugs like streptomycin and sulfamethoxazole.
  • - The research noted a decrease in third-generation cephalosporin resistance, but an uptick in kanamycin resistance, mainly due to the rise of S. Schwarzengrund, with the aphA1 gene being the most common resistance gene found

Article Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the Salmonella serovars, measure the minimum inhibitory concentration of antimicrobials, and examine the antimicrobial resistance genes of Salmonella isolated from 192 broiler flocks in Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan, from 2013 to 2016. We found that all Salmonella isolates belonged to three serovars: Salmonella Manhattan, S. Infantis, and S. Schwarzengrund. Among them, S. Schwarzengrund prevalence has recently increased annually making the main serovar. Most recovered isolates were highly resistant to streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, and oxytetracycline. We saw the reduction of third-generation cephalosporin resistance and identified the reason of increased kanamycin resistance to be the increased number of S. Schwazengrund isolates. Among the kanamycin-resistant Salmonella isolates, aphA1 constituted the main resistance gene detected.

From October 2020 to February 2021, a total of 95 retail chicken meat products from 39 retail meat shops in Tokyo Metropolis and Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, were collected and examined for the prevalence of Salmonella to assess public health implications. If a sample tested positive for Salmonella, a quantitative analysis was performed using the three-tube most probable number (MPN) method. Of 95 retail chicken meat products, Salmonella was isolated from 30 samples (31.

Chicken is a potent source of infection in humans. Occasionally, patients with severe enteritis require antimicrobial therapy. Antimicrobials are used to prevent and treat bacterial infections in broiler and breeder farms.

Article Synopsis
  • * Analysis showed that Salmonella isolation rates were low (0.070%) but revealed shifting dominant serotypes over the years and notable resistance patterns, particularly against streptomycin and tetracycline.
  • * The research identified mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, including the spread of resistance to Escherichia coli, raising concerns about the increasing incidence of cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella strains.

infections represent a leading cause of foodborne illnesses; resistance to third-generation cephalosporins (TGCs), which are a first-choice antimicrobial for treating human enteritis, has become a serious public health concern worldwide. Because the consumption of undercooked chicken meat products is a major cause of foodborne salmonellosis in Japan, we conducted three surveys at different periods between 2017 and 2022, with the cooperation of four abattoirs (two in Eastern and two in Western Japan). The first survey was conducted at abattoir A, which is located in Eastern Japan.

A total of 55 food and clinical . Schwarzengrund isolates were assayed for plasmid content, among which an IncFIB-IncFIC(FII) fusion plasmid, conferring streptomycin resistance, was detected in 17 isolates. Among the 17 isolates, 9 were food isolates primarily collected from poultry meat, and 8 clinical isolates collected from stool, urine, and gallbladder.
