BACKGROUND: The widespread use of antibiotics in humans and animals has led to an increase in the number of resistant Salmonella strains. Therefore, continued concern about the development of antimicrobial resistance in these organisms is warranted.METHODS: 505 Salmonella strains were isolated from pigs, and broiler (<7 weeks) and adult (<20 weeks) chickens between June and December 1998. All strains were serotyped, phage typed, and their activity (microg/ml) to 11 antimicrobial agents was determined by the agar dilution method according to NCCLS standards.RESULTS: S. enteridis (25%), S. typhimurium (16%), and S. derby (8%) were the most common serotypes. [table: see text].CONCLUSIONS: All isolates were susceptible to ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin. Resistance to nalidixic acid was more prevalent in Salmonella from broiler chicken. 52 of the 178 isolates (29%) showed resistance, of which 35 of 52 were S. hadar.
