| Summary: | ABSTRACTSalmonella is a major cause of food poisoning, and its infection and antimicrobial resistance vary regionally due to different sanitary standards and the use of antimicrobials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbiological contamination and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella in Shanghai, providing references for supervision over food safety and clinical treatment. This study analysed the distribution of serotypes, the distribution of antimicrobial resistance in different poultry meats and serotype of Salmonella, the correlation between different antimicrobial resistance, and multiple drug resistance (MDR) of 139 strains of Salmonella from poultry meats. The results showed that the proportion of Salmonella detected in pigeons was high, which could cause severe diseases to humans. The most common resistance was observed to TET (about 60%), and resistance was even found to IPM. Resistance to two or more antimicrobials was accounted for 75.5%, indicating a wide spreading MDR. |
