Epidemiological investigation on drug resistance of Salmonella isolates from duck breeding farms in Shandong Province and surrounding areas, China.

ABSTRACT: Duck salmonellosis is a common acute septic infectious disease that spreads rapidly, with serious harm to the duck breeding industry and public health. To date, there are few reports about the epidemiological characteristics of drug resistance in Salmonella from ducks. In this study, an epidemiological investigation was conducted on drug resistance of 110 Salmonella strains isolated from multiple duck farms in Shandong Province and surrounding areas, China. The multidrug-resistant (MDR) rate for 110 Salmonella strains was up to 71.82% (79/110), and 12 types of drug resistance genes were detected in all isolates, including β-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracycline, macrolides, and quinolones resistance genes. Using the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) based on 7 housekeeping genes, 13 vario
