What healthcare providers need to know
Most people with Salmonella infection recover without antibiotics. If antibiotics are needed, infections with this strain may not be treatable with commonly recommended antibiotics and may require a different antibiotic choice.
The Salmonella strain associated with this outbreak is resistant to all first-line and alternative antibiotics commonly recommended for the treatment of Salmonella infections.
This strain also might be resistant to multiple β-lactam antibiotics, including meropenem and other carbapenems, because it carries an NDM-1 carbapenemase gene.
Tailor antibiotic treatment to antimicrobial susceptibility testing results when possible.
Consider consultation with an infectious disease specialist for management of patients with extensively drug-resistant or complicated Salmonella infection.
