TABLE 2.

Antibiotic resistance of Salmonella enterica serovars and STEC O157 isolated from animals in human-animal contact areas at AZA-accredited zoological parks against 11 antimicrobialsa as determined by disk diffusion

Zoo Animal Salmonella enterica serotype (serogroupb) or E. coli Antibiotic resistance profile
3 Goat Serotype Infantis (C1) Ampicillin
8 Yak STEC O157:H7 Ampicillin
18 Horse Serotype Javiana (D1) Ampicillin, azithromycin
29 Goat Serotype Newport (C2) Ampicillin, tetracycline, azithromycin
29 Giraffe Serotype Rubislawc Ampicillin, tetracycline
36 Goat Serotype Rubislawc Ampicillin, tetracycline, streptomycin, azithromycin
36 Zebu calf Serotype Javiana (D1) Ampicillin, tetracycline
Serotype Muenchen (C2)d Ampicillin, tetracycline
a

Antimicrobials and their levels in disks (in micrograms) were as follows: ampicillin, 10; chloramphenicol, 30; streptomycin, 10; sulfisoxazole, 300; tetracycline, 30; trimethoprim, 5; ceftiofur, 30; ciprofloxacin, 5; gentamicin, 10; neomycin, 30; and azithromycin, 15.

b

Serogroup as determined with anti-Salmonella serogroup B, C1, C2-C3, D1, and E1 and anti-E. coli O157 and H7 monoclonal antibodies by enzyme immunoassay.

c

Isolate nonreactive with anti-Salmonella serogroup B, C1, C2-C3, D1, and E1 monoclonal antibodies by enzyme immunoassay; serotype Rubislaw belongs to serogroup F.

d

Isolated on repeat fecal sampling while the zebu calf was quarantined 2 weeks after initial isolation of serotype Javiana.
