Serotype Distribution and Antimicrobial Resistance of Salmonella in Korea Between 2018 and 2022

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: isolates in Korea obtained between 2018 and 2022. Methods: isolates from nine university hospitals across Korea. Serotypes were determined following the Kauffmann-White scheme, and antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed using Sensititre KRCDC2F susceptibility testing plates. Results: serovar Typhi. The overall rates of multidrug and extensive drug resistance were 6.2% (N=60) and 2.0% (N=19), respectively. Conclusions: serotypes for antimicrobial resistance is necessary for appropriate patient management.
