Salmonella in pigs and pork and their antimicrobial resistance - 10 years of surveillance in Germany
Publication Date

Abstract
Salmonella from pigs and pork have been submitted to the National Reference Laboratory for the Analysis and Testing of Zoonoses (Salmonella) (NRL Salm) for a number of years. This study retrospectively analyses the data of Salmonella and their antimicrobial resistance generated between 2000 and 2009. A total of 4163 isolates from pigs and 1839 isolates from pork submitted to the NRL Salm were serotyped and tested for antimicrobial resistance using the broth microdilution method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were evaluated using epidemiological cut-off values as provided by EUCAST (www.eucast.org) at the time of interpretation (2010). The majority of isolates from pigs and pork belonged to three serovars: S. Typhimurium (66 and 52%), monophasic variant of S. Typhimurium (1,4,[5],12:i:-) (11 and 10%) and S. Derby (7 and 10%). In both origins the number of S. Typhimurium decreased by roughly 50% while monophasic variant of S. Typhimurium increased from zero to 32 and 26%, respectively. The proportion of S. Derby varied between 5 and 12% in both origins.
