Cephalosporin and ciprofloxacin resistance in Salmonella, Taiwan

Emerg Infect Dis. 2005 Jun;11(6):947-50. doi: 10.3201/eid1106.041153.

Abstract

We report the prevalence and characteristics of Salmonella strains resistant to ciprofloxacin and extended-spectrum cephalosporins in Taiwan from January to May 2004. All isolates resistant to extended-spectrum cephalosporins carried blaCMY-2, and all ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella enterica serotype Choleraesuis isolates were genetically related.
