Abstract
Objectives: Our goal was to describe the epidemiological characteristics and antimicrobial resistance patterns of non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. in the outpatient population of Split-Dalmatia County in 2022. Materials and methods: We analyzed data from an anonymized computerized database including patient data on age, sex, town of residence, Salmonella serotype, and antimicrobial resistance. Results: 165 outpatients with non-typhoidal Salmonella infections were recorded in Split-Dalmatia County in 2022. The most common age group affected was children aged 0 to 5 years. The largest number of cases was reported in Split, and the incidence was highest in Jelsa. The most common serotype among outpatients in Split-Dalmatia County in 2022 was S. Mikawasima. The most common antimicrobial resistance was against amoxicillin (24,85% of isolates), and the least resistance was found against ceftriaxone (3%), and chloramphenicol (3%). There were 13 EBSL-positive isolates, all S. Mikawasima. Conclusion: In comparison with European and national epidemiologic data the high prevalence of S. Mikawasima in Split-Dalmatia County is a notable finding. Recent research forcusing on Salmonella spp. in the county has had similar findings, which may imply that the abundance of this serotype is due to some local source. Also, of interest may be the findings that, the serotype S. Mikawasima in particular is common in young children under 6 years old, and that a relatively large proportion of S. Mikawasima cases (37%) in the county in 2022 were EBSL-positive.
Abstract (croatian)
Ciljevi: Naš je cilj bio opisati epidemiološke značajke i obrasce antimikrobne rezistencije netifusne Salmonella spp. u ambulantnih bolesnika u Splitsko-Dalmatinske županije 2022. Materijali i metode: Analizirali smo podatke iz anonimizirane računalne baze podataka uključujući podatke o dobi, spolu, mjestu stanovanja bolesnika, serotipu i antimikrobnoj otpornosti salmonela. Rezultati: Tijekom 2022. godine u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji (SDŽ) zabilježeno je 165 ambulantnih pacijenata s netifusnim infekcijama salmonelom. Najčešće oboljela dobna skupina bila su djeca od 0 do 5 godina. Najveći broj oboljelih zabilježen je u Splitu, a incidencija je bila najveća u Jelsi. Najčešći serotip među ambulantnim pacijentima u Splitsko-dalmatinskoj županiji u 2022. je bio S. Mikawasima. Najviše izolata Salmonella spp. je bilo rezistentno na amoksicilin (24,85% izolata), a najmanja na ceftriakson (3%), i na kloramfenikol (3%). Bilo je 13 EBSL-pozitivnih izolata, svi serotipa S. Mikawasima. Zaključci: U usporedbi s Europskim i nacionalnim epidemiološkim podacima, visoka prevalencija S. Mikawasime u SDŽ-u značajan je nalaz. Nedavna istraživanja usmjerena na Salmonella spp. u županiji su imala slične nalaze, što može značiti da je prevladavanje ovog serotipa posljedica prisutnosti u nekom lokalnom izvoru. Također bi mogli biti zanimljivi nalazi da je serotip S. Mikawasima čest u djece mlađe od 6 godina i da je relativno velik udio slučajeva S. Mikawasime u Županiji 2022. godine bio EBSL pozitivan.
