Abstract

This research is conducted to determine antimicrobial resistance of individual strains of Salmonella spp. Isolated from different types of raw meats (pork, turkey, poultry and mechanically deboned meat). We examined 822 samples of meats, from which we determined and serotyped 72 strains of Salmonella, and there after we tested them all to antimicrobial resistance towards 8 antimicrobials. We determined that 50 from the isolates (69,4%) showed resistance towards at least one antimicrobial, 10 strains (13,9) are resistant towards two antimicrobials, and the rest of the 12 isolates (16,7%) are multi-drug resistant (resistance toward more then 2 antimicrobials).

Keywords: Salmonella spp., raw meats, antimicrobial resistance.
