Presence and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Salmonella spp. in Retailed Sausages in Kayseri, Turkey

18090

This study was carried out to investigate the presence and antimicrobial susceptibilities of Salmonella spp. isolates from sausage obtained from retail outlets in Kayseri, Turkey. A total of 100 samples were analyzed in the study. The method proposed by ISO 6579 with minor modifications, for isolation of Salmonella spp. was used and the isolates were confirmed by PCR. Antibacterial susceptibility testing of the isolates to ampicillin, enrofloxacin, cefazolin, danofloxacin, gentamicin, nalidixic acid, neomycine, oxytetracycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazol was performed by disc diffusion method. Salmonella spp. was isolated from 4 (4%) out of 100 samples tested. All isolates, were resistant only to neomycine and were susceptible to other antimicrobial agents except for gentamicin. Only one Salmonella isolate was found to be susceptible (intermediate level) to gentamicin. These results demonstrate that sausage samples may be sporadically contaminated with Salmonella spp. and therefore present a potential risk for public health.
