Variation in Antimicrobial resistance in sporadic and outbreak-related Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

Emerg Infect Dis. 2009 Jan;15(1):101-3. doi: 10.3201/eid1501.080853.

Abstract

The prevalence of different antimicrobial resistance profiles and variants of the Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1) was reported for Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium DT104 strains isolated from patients in Denmark. Variation in antimicrobial resistance and corresponding changes of SGI1 were shown among isolates from a foodborne outbreak.
