SEM AND TEM EVALUATION OF MODE OF ACTION OF Cremaspora triflora ON Salmonella Typhimurium

摘要

The majority of Salmonella infections are linked to the consumption of contaminated food of animal origin such as eggs, chicken, pork, etc. Severe Salmonella infections often require antimicrobial therapy to aid in the elimination of the infection. S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium are the serovars most frequently associated with human illnesses, with S. Typhimurium commonly implicated in food poisoning. There have been apprehensions in the last three decades regarding the global emergence of multi-drug resistant phenotypes among Salmonella serotypes such as S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis and S. Newport. Reports on the occurrence of Salmonella isolates resistant to an array of antibiotics have increased. Currently, there are concerns on the emergence of Salmonella resistance to quinolones, fluoroquinolones or extended-spectrum cephalosporins such as ceftiofur and ceftriaxone.
