| multidrug-resistant salmonella typhimurium in four animal facilities. | in 1999 and 2000, 3 state health departments reported 4 outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness due to salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium in employees, clients, and client animals from 3 companion animal veterinary clinics and 1 animal shelter. more than 45 persons and companion animals became ill. four independent investigations resulted in the testing of 19 human samples and >200 animal samples; 18 persons and 36 animals were culture-positive for s. typhimurium. one outbreak was due to mul ... | 2005 | 16102313 |
| antimicrobial-drug susceptibility of human and animal salmonella typhimurium, minnesota, 1997-2003. | we compared antimicrobial resistance phenotypes and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge) subtypes of 1,028 human and 716 animal salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium isolates from minnesota from 1997 to 2003. overall, 29% of human isolates were multidrug resistant. predominant phenotypes included resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol or kanamycin, streptomycin, sulfisoxazole, and tetracycline (acssut or akssut). most human multidrug-resistant isolates belonged to pfge clonal group a, c ... | 2005 | 16485477 |
| multidrug-resistant salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium associated with pet rodents. | an estimated 1.4 million salmonella infections occur annually in the united states. the majority of these infections are foodborne, but many are acquired by contact with animals. in august 2004, isolates of salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium, which were indistinguishable from one another by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (pfge), were obtained from eight hamsters from a minnesota pet distributor. we conducted an investigation to determine whether human cases of salmonella could be linked ... | 2007 | 17202452 |
| outbreak of multidrug-resistant salmonella typhimurium associated with rodents purchased at retail pet stores--united states, december 2003-october 2004. | during 2004, the minnesota department of health (mdh) public health laboratory notified cdc about the isolation of multidrug-resistant salmonella enterica serotype typhimurium from ill hamsters from a minnesota pet distributor. this report describes two of the first identified human cases associated with this outbreak, summarizes the multistate investigation of human s. typhimurium infections associated with exposure to rodents (e.g., hamsters, mice, and rats) purchased at pet stores, and highli ... | 2005 | 15889011 |
