Analysis of antibiotic resistance among salmonella strains isolated from pig in Vietnam

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the susceptibility to 16 antimicrobial agents of a total of 102 Salmonella strains isolated from slaughter pig in Vietnam. No strain was found resistant to Amoxicillin clavulanic acid, Cefalexin, Ceftazidime, Cefotaxime, Ceftiofur nor Cefoxitin. 53% of the strains were resistant to at least one antibiotic, 48% of the strains were found resistant to Tetracycline, 39.2% to Sulfamide and 35.3% to Streptomycin. Multiresistance to six antibiotics (AM, TE, S, GM, SSS, TMP) was found for both S. Derby and S. Typhimurium. (Résumé d'auteur
