From the10 212 samples tested <em>Salmonella </em>spp. Were isolated in 47 cases. The predominant serovar isolated from humans and food products was <em>S. </em><em>Enteritidis</em>. Although different animal species were tested the <em>Salmonella </em>spp. were isolated mainly from chickens and ducks. <em>S</em>. <em>Enteritidis</em> and <em>S</em>. <em>Typhimurium</em> were the most prevalent serovars in raw poultry meat. The most frequent resistances were those to nalidixic acid, ampicillin and tetracycline. Human isolates demonstrated lower resistance compared to animal and food isolates. The genes encoding antimicrobial resistance in human isolates in most cases were absent except for some isolates which harboured <em>tet</em>, <em>sul</em>, <em>stre </em>and <em>bla </em>TEM genes encoding resistance to the oldest antimicrobial classes. The situation in animals and food products was less beneficial as besides different genes, integrons associated with the horizontal gene transfer were detected. The findings suggest that antimicrobials in animal sector should be used more strictly, paying attention to critically important antimicrobials for humans and possible horizontal transfer of pathogens and their genetic determinants.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of the Hellenic Veterinary Medical Society}, author={RYCHSHANOVA, R and RUZAUSKAS, M and CHUZHEBAYEVA, G and MOCKELIUNAS, R and MAMIYEV, N and VIRGAILIS, M and SHEVCHENKO, P and SIUGZDINIENE, R and ANSKIENE, L and MENDYBAYEVA, A}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={3091–3100} }
