Repetitive sequence-based PCR fingerprinting and the relationship of antimicrobial-resistance characteristics and corresponding genes among Salmonella strains from pig production

Conclusions Statistical analysis revealed no association between antimicrobial resistance genes and resistance profiles with the exception of cmlA and chloramphenicol, sul1 and sulfamethoxazole, aadA2 and streptomycin, and strA and streptomycin (P < 0.05). Finally, the identical groups of clonal strains were detected by rep-PCR indicating similarity among Salmonella genotypes from farms and from slaughterhouses.
