Abstract:
Salmonella Typhi, a human-restricted pathogen, is demonstrating multi-drug resistance (MDR) due to widespread and inappropriate antibiotic use. This study aims to molecular identify the pattern of antibiotic resistance. Blood samples from 2456 suspected patients were assessed. Molecular identification of Salmonella Typhi was performed by amplifying the fliC gene. The Disc diffusion method was used to measure the susceptibility of antibiotics. 2456 patient samples, bacterial growth and Salmonella Typhi were 152 (6.2 %) positive. PCR analysis confirmed that all 152 isolated strains were Salmonella Typhi (100%) through the amplification of the fliC gene. Salmonella Typhi isolates showed resistance to trimethoprim (58%), ampicillin (63%), ciprofloxacin (79%) and chloramphenicol (58%). Fifty-eight percent of the isolates showed multi-drug resistance, whereas 26 percent had extensive drug resistance. Antibiotic resistance gene of quinolones was isolated as 44 (36.4%), whereas 88 (57.9 %) were positive for blaCTX-M gene were detected among cephalosporin-resistance bacteria 56 (36.8 %) resistance blaIMP and blaOXA-48 were detected among carbapenem-resistance bacteria. For the azithromycin resistance, more genes were detected as a percentage 03 (50 %) from isolates. It concludes that several multidrug resistance and extensive drug-resistance Salmonella Typhi were found. The majority of isolates were sensitive to meropenem, Imipenem and Azithromycin.
