Keywords: Salmonella, serotyping, identification, antimicrobial susceptibility |
Objective: Salmonella infections are one of the most important
public health problems of the world. Determination of
Salmonella serotypes is crucial for epidemiological studies.
The aim of this study was to investigate the serotype
distribution and antibiotic susceptibilities of Salmonella
species which were isolated from various patient specimens as
an etiological agent during a thirteen year- period and to
present epidemiologic data from our region.
Materials and Methods: This study includes 258 Salmonella
strains isolated within the period extending from January
2002 to December 2014. Strains were identified as
Salmonella spp. and antibiotic susceptibilities were
determined by an automated system. Serotyping has been
performed in the Public Health Agency of Turkey of
Ministry of Health, (former Refik Saydam Hygiene Center)
as part of the National Laboratory-based Surveillance
Network of Enteric Pathogenes (UEPLA).
Results: Strains were distributed among 22 different
serotypes; mainly serotyped as S. Enteritidis for 143,
S. Typhimurium for 23, S. İnfantis for 12, S. Newport
for 11, S. Kentucky for 10 isolates. Two S. Umbilo and one
S. Chester isolate which were isolated from faeces are the
firstly reported serotypes from Turkey. A decreased
susceptibility was detected against chloramphenicol,
ampicillin, and trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole in Salmonella
strains while, susceptibility to cefotaxime was high.
Conclusion: In our study the serotype distribution of
Salmonella strains in thirteen years period was found to be
consistent with the data from Europe, CDC and our country.
