a

only co-trimoxazol was tested, sulfamethoxazol was not available.

b

potential resistance against erythromycin was not tested.

c

AMR phenotype without AMR genotype was detected.

All AMR genes detected in 34 Salmonella strains listed and compared with the AMR phenotype. The phenotype was defined using a VITEK 2 system with an AST-N111 panel and a disk diffusion assay using Oxoid discs with chloramphinicol (30 mg), streptomycin (10 mg) and kanamycin (30 mg).
