title: [Sensitivity to antibacterial drugs of Salmonella isolated from various sources in Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region].
abstract: The position of antibiotic resistant cultures among 1706 strains of 85 Salmonella serovars isolated from various sources in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region in 1984-1991 amounted to 16.4 per cent. The highest position of such cultures was among the isolates from humans (20.9 per cent). The positions of the isolates from animals, birds and environment were practically equal (13.8, 13.8 and 13.7 per cent respectively). Strains resistant to streptomycin (11.9 per cent), tetracycline (11.5 per cent) and chloramphenicol (11.2 per cent) were the most frequent Salmonella isolates from the different sources. Rifampicin, amikacin, thienamycin, nitroxolin, oxolinic acid, dioxidin, ciprofloxacin and pefloxacin proved to be highly active against the isolates. No significant difference in the antibiotic resistance spectra of the Salmonella strains circulating in different biotopes was detected. However, among the Salmonella isolates from humans there undoubtedly predominated polyresistant strains with the resistance spectra including 10 and 6 antibacterial drugs (42.4 and 28.8 per cent of the resistant strains respectively). Sometimes there was observed correlation between the serovars of the Salmonella strains (independent of the isolation source) and the most characteristic spectra of their antibiotic resistance. Thus, the antibiotic resistant spectra of 79 per cent of the S. typhimurium strains and 82.5 per cent of the S. haifa strains resistant to one and more antibacterial drugs were the following: CmTcSmKmMmNm and ApCbCmTcSmKmMmNmGmNal respectively.
