Genetic Determinants of Multiple Drug Resistance in Salmonella spp. Isolated from Poultry Meat and HIV Patients in Tamilnadu

Abstract

In order to educate public policy on the appropriate use of antimicrobial drugs in animal and human treatment, it is vital to keep track of antimicrobial resistance among bacteria that have been isolated from both humans and animals. 200 Salmonella species were able to be isolated from clinical as well as animal samples. It was determined if any of the isolates exhibited antimicrobial action. Chicken meat isolates had the highest antimicrobial concentration of all of the other types. This study demonstrates that the plasmid profiles of the two different types of isolates are not comparable to one another. Observed on the findings as a whole, there was no evidence of a compatible relationship between the clinical and meat isolates. During the analysis of the isolates' antibacterial susceptibility, virulence gene, and plasmid profile, it was observed that there was no association between them. However, these data provide credence to the theory that antibiotic-resistant Salmonella infections in humans may be indirectly caused by human consuming chicken meat as one of the probable origins of these infections.
