|
|
This study describes the antimicrobial susceptibility and multidrug resistance patterns in 115 isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis from diarrhea patients in Incheon from Jan. 2004 to Dec. 2008. Overall, the highest rate of resistance was found to the following antimicrobial agents: nalidixic acid 54.8%, ampicillin 40.0%, ticarcillin 38.3%, chloramphenicol 20.9%, and tetracycline 17.4%. 91% (104 isolates) were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents tested. Among the described antimicrobial resistant patterns, the predominant patterns were only nalidixic acid (44.3%), ampicillin-chloramphenicol-ticarcillin (11.3%,) and ampicillin-ticarcillin (10.4%). Overall, the resistant rate to one drug was 51.9%, two drugs 18.2%, three drugs 14.5%, four drugs 5.8%, and five or more drugs 9.7%.
