The frequency of multidrug-resistance (MDR) among Salmonella isolates has increased dramatically. Here we report the first case of CTX-M type ß–lactamase producing ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella infection as a child in Iran. Antimicrobial resistance profile was determined according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. A double disk synergy test was used in the production of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs). PCR assays were carried out to detect blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX-M beta lactamase genes. The presence of class 1 integrons was investigated by PCR assays. The Salmonella Enteritidis isolate from the child was ciprofloxacin and extended-spectrum cephalosporins resistant and found to carry the blaCTX-M beta-lactamase gene and class 1 integrons, suggests that antimicrobial resistance determinants may be located on the same genetic unit of the class 1 integrons identified here. Resistance to ciprofloxacin and extended- spectrum cephalosporins, the drugs of choice for treating invasive salmonellosis, especially in children is a public health problem.

Thus, the fluoroquinolon and extended-spectrum cephalosporins resistance determinants may be locat- ed on the same genetic unit of the class 1 integrons de- It is obvious that the use of antimicrobials will result in the selection of resistance strains. Accordingly, efforts must be made to reduce the use of certain antibiotics in animals, to delay the transmission of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella strains to human via food products.
