Abstrakt: Since Turkey currently lacks a national reference center forSalmonellainfections, the present study was conducted to document the distribution of serotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns amongSalmonella entericaisolates recovered from clinical samples in ten Turkish provinces over a 2-year period. Among the 620Salmonella entericaisolates recovered between 1 July 2000 and 30 June 2002, strains belonging to the serotypes Enteritidis (47.7%), Typhimurium (34.7%), Paratyphi B (6.0%), Typhi (2.9%), Paratyphi A (0.2%) and serogroup C (8.5%) were found. Resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents was particularly high amongSalmonellaTyphimurium isolates (76.7%), and resistance or decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin (MIC=0.125 mg/l) was demonstrated inSalmonellaParatyphi B,SalmonellaTyphimurium andSalmonellaEnteritidis strains. All of theSalmonellaTyphi isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin. The results indicate that decreased susceptibility to ciprofloxacin is an emerging problem inSalmonella entericain Turkey, particularly in multiresistant strains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
