ABSTRACT: Importance
Carbapenem resistance arising from the loss of porins is commonly observed in extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamase-producing strains of certain Enterobacteriaceae genera, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, this resistance mechanism is rarely reported in the Salmonella genus. To address this knowledge gap, our study offers genetic evidence demonstrating that the loss of two specific porins (OmpC_378 and OmpD) is crucial for the development of carbapenem resistance in Salmonella ESBL and AmpC β-lactamase-producing strains. Furthermore, our findings reveal that most Salmonella serovars carry seven porin parathologs, with OmpC_378 and OmpD being the key porins involved in the development of carbapenem resistance in Salmonella strains.
