Description
Summary:	The purpose of this study was to analyse the profile of antimicrobial resistance among 21 strains of Salmonella isolated from patients with gastroenteritis symptom. It was observed that S. enteritidis was the serotype prevalent. These strains were sensitive to the majority of the antimicrobials tested, however, high resistance was observed in S. typhimurium and S. enterica subsp. enterica serotype 4,5,12:i:-. Surveillance and an efficient monitoring should be priority for the public health for the containment of antimicrobial resistance in foodborne infections. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o perfil de resistência à antimicrobianos, de Salmonella isoladas de 21 amostras provenientes de pacientes com sintomatologia de gastroenterite. Verificou-se que S. enteritidis foi o sorotipo com maior prevalência. Estas cepas mostraram-se sensíveis à maioria dos antimicrobianos testados, no entanto, as cepas S. typhimurium e S. enterica subsp. enterica sorotipo 4,5,12:i:-, mostraram-se resistentes à vários antimicrobianos. Vigilância e um monitoramento eficiente, para diminuir a resistência antimicrobiana em microrganismos que causam infecções veiculadas por alimentos, devem ser prioridade para a saúde pública.
