The increasing resistance of Salmonella to the common antibiotics
has been leading to the use of third-generation cephalosporins in
order to combat salmonellosis. In this study, there were no Salmonella
isolates resistant to ceftazidime, similar to the previous report in
South Vietnam (Vo et al., 2010). However, other reports described
the reduction susceptibility to this antibiotic in Salmonella strains
from food products, veterinary and human sources (Bouchrif et al.,
2009; Yan et al., 2010)
