Abstract EN
We report on the serotype distribution and the antimicrobial resistance patterns to 20 different antimicrobials of 150 Salmonella enterica strains isolated from stools of diarrhoeal patients on the island of Crete over the period January 2011-December 2012.
Among the S.
enterica serotypes recovered, Enteritidis was the most prevalent (37.3%), followed by Typhimurium (28.7%) and Newport (8.7%).
No resistance was detected to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems.
Rates of resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, and cotrimoxazole were 9.3%, 4%, 2%, 15.3%, and 8.7%, respectively.
Resistance to ≥4 antibiotics was primarily observed for serotypes Typhimurium and Hadar.
Enteritidis remains the predominant serotype in Crete.
Although low resistance to most antimicrobials was detected, continued surveillance of susceptibility is needed due to the risk of resistance.
