Abstract

Objective: Study the distribution and antibiotic resistance characteristics of Salmonella spp. strains isolated from Military Hospital 103 in the period from 2014 to 2022. Subject and methods: This was a descriptive study. The subject of the study was Salmonella spp. strains isolated from Military Hospital 103 in the period from 2014 to 2022. Results: The total number of Salmonella spp. strains isolated in the period of study was 42. Of which, the percentage of Salmonella spp. isolated from patients in the age group of ≥60 years was 45.2%. The rate of Salmonella spp. causing diseases in males (78,6%) was approximately 3.5 times higher than that in females (21.4%). Blood and body fluid specimens were the two most common specimens in which Salmonella spp. was isolated, accounting for 66.7% and 19.0%, respectively. The percentage of Salmonella spp. isolated from the internal medicine wards was the highest among hospital wards, at 52.4%. Salmonella spp. was the most resistant to ampicillin (52.0%). By contrast, Salmonella spp. was the most sensitive to meropenem (97.2%), imipenem (96.8%), cefepime (94.2%) và ceftazidime (91.9%). Conclusion: Our study indicated that Salmonella spp. isolated from blood and patients ≥ 60 years old were the most. Salmonella spp. was the most resistant to ampicillin and most sensitive to meropenem, imipenem, cefepime, and ceftazidime.
