Abstract:
Objective To characterized the Salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium isolates recovered during 2002 to 2005 from outpatients in Tongji Hospital, Wuhan China. Methods The 36 isolates from Tongji Hospital were characterized by antimicrobial-susceptibility testing and screened for class Ⅰ integrons, beta-lactamase genes, qnr, aac(6')-Ib-cr and mutations in the quinolone resistance determining regions (QRDRs) by PCR and DNA sequence analysis. All isolates were also characterized by pulsed-fieldgel electrophoresis (PFGE) to determine the genetic relateness among these isolates. Results All isolates displayed multidrug resistance and most of them harbored class Ⅰ integrons. Ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates showed significant difference compared with ciprofloxacin-susceptible isolates after PFGE analysis. All 31 ciprofloxacin resistant isolates carried at least three mutations in the QRDR of GyrA and ParC. Three ciprofloxacin resistant isolates had accumulated additional mutation in ParE. Five isolates harboring the OXA-30. Enzyme showed intermediate resistant to eefepime. Conclusions Fluoroquinolone-resistant Salmonella typhimurium isolates were widely distributed among the outpatients in Wuhan and the resistant isolates accumulated multiple antimicrobial resistant mechanisms and showed unique genetic profiles. The state and local health authority must remain vigilant for the emergence of Salmonella typhimurium resistant to both third generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolonos.
