title: First report of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase-producing Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky isolated from poultry in Ireland.
abstract: Therapy of invasive human salmonellosis is complicated by increasing antimicrobial resistance. Food animals are the principal source of infection with nontyphoid Salmonella. We report the emergence of broad-spectrum-cephalosporin resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky in poultry in Ireland.
