Popis: Salmonella is the main bacterial pathogen that causes foodborne disease, particularly in developing countries. Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) include Enteritidis and Typhimurium as the most prevalent strains which are one of the significant causes of acute gastroenteritis in children. Therefore, identifying the most predominant serovars, types of common contaminated food, and paying attention to their antibiotic resistance are the main factors in the prevention and control strategy of salmonellosis. This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence rate of serovars, the biofilm formation, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) status, and phenotypic virulence factors of Salmonella strains isolated from diarrhea samples in some cities of Iran. A total of 40 (10.41%) Salmonella isolates were recovered from 384 diarrhea samples processed and the most common serovar was Salmonella serovar Typhimurium (82.5). Also, all isolates belonging to serovar Typhimurium showed more virulence factors compared to other serovars. The isolates showed a high resistance rate to ampicillin (95%) and nalidixic acid (87.5%), while a low resistance rate was found for chloramphenicol (2.5%). Moreover, significant variances in the capacity of biofilm formation were found between different Salmonella serotypes. The resistance of NTS to extant choice drugs is a potential public health problem. Constant monitoring of AMR pattern and virulence profile of NTS serovars is suggested for the prevention of salmonellosis in humans.
