Abstract

Multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phage type DT104 has emerged during the last decade as a global health problem because of its involvement in diseases in animals and humans. Multidrug-resistant DT104 strains are mostly resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides and tetracyclines (ACSSuT resistance type). The genes coding for such resistances are clustered on the chromosome. This paper reviews new developments in the characterization of S. enterica Typhimurium DT104, its chromosomal antibiotic resistance genes and their spread among other S. enterica Typhimurium phage types and other S. enterica serovars, the development of specific detection methods, virulence characteristics, and the evolution of multidrug-resistance with regard to the emergence of quinolone resistance.
