| Abstract | |
Currently, salmonellosis represents one of the most important zoonoses in Public Health in the world, due to the high endemicity, mortality, and difficulty of its control. In the city of São Paulo, it is possible to find different realities regarding good production practices and quality control of animal products, especially when considering the points of direct sales to the consumer. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the presence of Salmonella enterica in pork cuts sold in municipal markets, butchers and small markets distributed in the five regions of the city of São Paulo. Isolated strains were characterized for serotype, antimicrobial resistance profile, genotypic profile through pulsed field electrophoresis (PFGE) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). From the 394 meat cuts evaluated 6% were positive for isolation of S. enterica. Among the 111 establishments examined, 14.4% had at least one positive meat cut. Among the 60 strains selected for characterization, the identified serotypes were Typhimurium (33.3%), London (26.7%), Brandenburg (10.0%), Schwaezengrund (8.3%), Derby (8.3%), Infantis (6.7%) andJaviana (6.7%). Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration indicated the following frequencies of antimicrobial resistance: azithromycin (100%), sulfamethoxazole (98.3%), ampicillin (50%), chloramphenicol (41.7%), tetracycline (40%), nalidixic acid (21.7%), gentamicin (16.7%), trimethoprim (15%) and ciprofloxacin (5%). All isolates were sensitive to cefotaxime, ceftazidime, meropenem and tigecycline. Multiresistance was identified in 58.3% of the strains evaluated. Characterization of the strains by PFGE and AFLP revealed a tendency to group the isolates according to the origin and the serotypes. From the genome sequencing of 11 strains it was possible to identify STs, presence of resistance genes and pathogenicityislands. The data obtained were discussed in relation to the described profiles of S. enterica strains from pig herds and cases of food infection reported in the country and abroad. (AU) | |
