title: Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Molecular Typing of Salmonella Senftenberg Isolated from Humans and Other Sources in Shanghai, China, 2005 to 2011.
abstract: Salmonella Senftenberg is an important nontyphoidal Salmonella serovar that causes gastrointestinal disease worldwide. In total, 130 Salmonella Senftenberg strains obtained from humans, food, and the environment in Shanghai, People's Republic of China, were characterized for antimicrobial susceptibility and subjected to molecular typing. Our findings indicated that most (96 of 130, 73.8%) of the strains were susceptible to all 13 antimicrobial compounds tested, whereas only two strains (1.5%) were resistant to two antimicrobial compounds. In total, 56 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles were identified, including four main pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles (X2, X3, X4, and X5) that showed 95.7% genetic similarity. Our study revealed that the strains of Salmonella Senftenberg from food and the environment shared a high correlation of genetic similarity with those from humans, highlighting the potential links that exist among the strains recovered from different sources in Shanghai.
