Abstract
Salmonella Enteritidis is the main cause of salmonellosis. The use of antimicrobials to prevent and to treat this infection, as well their use like growth promoters, has induced the emergency of resistants trains. The aim of this work was to search the presence of Salmonella in poultry products and to investigate the isolates resistance to antimicrobial agents. One hundred and twenty samples of poultry products were analyzed, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Salmonella was isolated from seven (15.83%) samples and four serotypes were identified, Enteritidis, Newport, Derby and Agona. Enteritidis was the most prevalent serotype (71.4%). Thirty-six (94.7%), 34 (89.5%), 32 (84.2%) and 32 (84.2%) isolates were susceptible to chloramphenicol, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin and ampicillin, respectively. Thirty-three (86.8%) isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid. All isolates (100%) were susceptible to ceftriaxone. Twenty-five isolates (65.8%) were resistant to tetracycline. Five isolates (13.2%) multiresistant were found. The inspection of poultry products must be more rigorous, regarding to the possible presence of Salmonella. The occurrence of Salmonella strains resistant to antimicrobial agents is indicative of more control necessity in use of these drugs.References
