Epidemiology of bla _CTX-M-Positive Salmonella Typhimurium From Diarrhoeal Outpatients in Guangdong, China, 2010-2017.

ABSTRACT: Salmonella enterica can lead to intestinal diarrhea, and the emergence and spread of cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella have brought great challenges to clinical treatment. Therefore, this study investigated the prevalence and transmission of bla _CTX-M genes among S. Typhimurium from diarrhoeal outpatients in Guangdong, China, from 2010 to 2017. A total of 221 bla _CTX-M-positive isolates were recovered from 1,263 S. Typhimurium isolates from the facal samples of diarrhoea patients in 45 general hospitals from 11 cities. The most popular CTX-M gene was bla _CTX-M-55 (39.6%, 72/182) in the CTX-M-1 group, followed by bla _CTX-M-14 (22.5%, 41/182) and bla _CTX-M-65 (19.2%, 35/182)
