ABSTRACT A study was conducted to examine the levels of Salmonella spp. contamination in raw food samples, including chicken, beef, pork, and shellfish, from Vietnam and to determine their antibiotic resistance characteristics. A total of 180 samples were collected and examined for the presence of Salmonella spp., yielding 91 Salmonella isolates. Sixty-one percent of meat and 18% of shellfish samples were contaminated with Salmonella spp. Susceptibility of all isolates to a variety of antimicrobial agents was tested, and resistance to tetracycline, ampicillin/amoxicillin, nalidixic acid, sulfafurazole, and streptomycin was found in 40.7%, 22.0%, 18.7%, 16.5%, and 14.3% of the isolates, respectively. Resistance to enrofloxacin, trimethoprim, chloramphenicol, kanamycin, and gentamicin was also detected (8.8 to 2.2%). About half (50.5%) of the isolates were resistant to at least one antibiotic, and multiresistant Salmonella isolates, resistant to at least three different classes of antibiotics, were isolated from all food types. One isolate from chicken (serovar Albany) contained a variant of the Salmonella genomic island 1 antibiotic resistance gene cluster. The results show that antibiotic resistance in Salmonella spp. in raw food samples from Vietnam is significant.

ABSTRACT We report a new Salmonella genomic island 1 variant antibiotic resistance gene cluster called SGI1-L in a Salmonella enterica serovar Newport isolate containing a dfrA15 gene cassette conferring resistance to trimethoprim. The isolate carried another class 1 integron containing the aacC5 and aadA7 gene cassettes conferring resistance to gentamicin and streptomycin/spectinomycin, respectively.

ABSTRACT Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1) harbors an antibiotic resistance gene cluster and was previously identified in the multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovars Typhimurium DT104, Agona, Paratyphi B, and Albany. This antibiotic resistance gene cluster is a complex class 1 integron and most often confers resistance to ampicillin (Ap), chloramphenicol (Cm)/florfenicol (Ff), streptomycin (Sm)/spectinomycin (Sp), sulfonamides (Su), and tetracycline (Tc) (ApCmFfSmSpSuTc profile). Recently, variant SGI1 antibiotic resistance gene clusters conferring different antibiotic resistance profiles have been identified in several S. enterica serovars and were classified as SGI1-A to -G. We identified a new variant SGI1 antibiotic resistance gene cluster in two multidrug-resistant S. enterica serovar Newport strains isolated from humans in France. In these strains, the Sm/Sp resistance gene cassette aadA2 inserted at the first attI1 site was replaced by two other aminoglycoside resistance gene cassettes. The first one contains a new resistance gene encoding an AAC(3)-I aminoglycoside 3-N-acetyltransferase that confers resistance to gentamicin (Gm) and sisomicin (Sc). This gene has been named aac(3)-Id. The second one harbors the Sm/Sp resistance gene aadA7. This gene cassette replacement in the SGI1 complex integron of serovar Newport strains constitutes a new variant SGI1 antibiotic resistance gene cluster named SGI1-H. The occurrence of SGI1 in different S. enterica serovars, now including serovar Newport, strengthens the hypothesis of horizontal transfer of SGI1.

ABSTRACT A new antibiotic resistance gene cluster comprising genes for sulfonamide (sul2), streptomycin (strA-strB), and tetracycline [tetR-tet(H)] resistance was detected on plasmid pVM111 from Pasteurella multocida. The tetR-tet(H) gene region was inserted between sul2 and strA, possibly by illegitimate recombination. Two potential recombination sites of 18 and 25 bp were identified.

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli and salmonellae have spread rapidly worldwide and pose a serious threat to human and animal health. The present study was conduct-ed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-producing E.coli and salmonellae, to perform molecular characterisation of the ESBL-related bla genes, including blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX, and the sus-ceptibilities of these bacteria to various antimicrobial agents. From a total of 300 poultry samples, 25 and 20 samples were recognised as Salmonella and E. coli, respectively by microbiological and molecular methods. All E. coli and Salmonella isolates were positive for an ESBL phenotype. Mo-lecular detection for antibiotic resistance gene revealed blaTEM in all isolates of salmonellae and E. coli (100%), while blaSHV was detected in 5 (20%) and 2 (10%) of salmonellae and E. coli isolates, respectively. None of the isolates contained blaCTX gene. Serotyping of Salmonella spp. in chick-ens revealed that S. enteritidis was the major isolates followed by S. Infantis (21.4%), S. Kentucky (14.2%) and S. Typhimurium, S. Kapemba, S. Newport, S. Vejle and S. Magherafelt were detected at 7.1% respectively. S. Infantis was the major isolate detected in chicks (60%), while in ducks S. Typhimurium and S. Blegdam were identified. In ducklings, S. Sinchew, S. Infantis and S. Sekon-di were equally prevalent. Only S. Newmexico was identified in poultry products. E. coli in chick-en were serotyped into O1, O8, O29, O125, O128 and O157. In chicks, O29 and O126 serotypes were detected. In poultry products only O8 was detected. The results indicate that ESBL frequen-cy has reached an alarming level in poultry isolates in Egypt, with TEM enzymes being the pre-dominant β-lactamases detected.
