| Title | [Analysis of antibiotic susceptibility of foodborne Listeria monocytogenes in China] | | Author(s) | Yang Y, Fu P, Guo Y, Liu X | | Institution | Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Beijing 100050, China. | | Source | Wei Sheng Yan Jiu 2008 Mar; 37(2):183-6. | | Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To study the antibiotic susceptibility of foodborne Listeria monocytogenes in China.
METHODS: The susceptibilities of 476 strains of foodborne Listeria monocytogenes to antibiotics were determined in Broth Microdilution Susceptibility Testing in Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. The antibiotics of gentamicin, ampicillin, penicillin, tetracycline, doxycycline, imipenem, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, cephalothin, rifampin, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ampicillin-sulbactam were used.
RESULTS: The rates of antibiotic resistance in 467 is olates were 4.5%. Tetracycline resistance was most prevalent, accouting for 4.07% . The foods that the rates of antibiotic resistance were highest were vegetable (10%). Among 14 provinces, Jilin, Hubei and Hebei were the third top, the rate of which were 19.6% and 9.1% and 8%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: It was suggested that antibiotic resistance exists in foodborne Listeria monocytogenes to a certain extent in China. It should pay more attention to the use of drugs in prevention and clinic treatment to reduce the antibiotic resistant strains. | | Language | chi | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
