Salmonella isolates from urine cultures: serotypes and antimicrobial resistance in hospital settings

Rafael Oliveira Dos Reis et al. Braz J Microbiol. 2019 Apr.

Abstract

This study investigated the serotypes and antimicrobial resistance of Salmonella isolates in urine cultures from 38 hospitalized patients. Nine serotypes were detected, and a large proportion was Typhimurium and Enteritidis. The strains presented resistance to 11 different antibiotics. Thirteen isolates (11 from serotype Typhimurium) exhibited multidrug resistance.

Keywords: Multidrug resistance; Nontyphoid Salmonella; Urinary tract infections.
