Infections caused by Salmonella with any antibiotic resistance are associated with more severe clinical outcomes, including hospitalization and death, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers reported yesterday in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Using epidemiologic data from the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) and antimicrobial resistance data from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS), researchers from the CDC’s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases examined outcomes in patients with nontyphoidal Salmonella infections from 2004 through 2018. They compared outcomes for resistant Salmonella infections with those caused by non-resistant Salmonella before and after adjusting for age, state, race/ethnicity, international travel, outbreak association, and isolate serotype or source.
