• Description:
  In 1997, there were 1314 Salmonella isolates, 171 E. coli O157:H7 isolates, and 250 Campylobacter isolates submitted to the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS). Thirty-four percent of Salmonella isolates were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents. Among Salmonella Typhimurium isolates, 62.7% were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents. Thirty-five percent of Salmonella Typhimurium isolates had the multi-drug resistant pattern characteristic of DT104. No Salmonella isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin; however, the percentage of Salmonella isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) >0.25 increased from 0.4% in l996 to 0.6% in l997. Among E. coli O157:H7 isolates, 12.4% were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents. Among Campylobacter isolates, 85.7% were resistant to one or more antimicrobial agents; 13.4% were resistant to ciprofloxacin.
