Resumo
The aim of this study was to evaluate the profile of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella isolated from the
carcasses, livers and hearts of chickens slaughtered in the state of Tocantins, Brazil, as recommended
by the Normative Instruction 70 of 2003 of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Food Supply and
the National Monitoring Program Prevalence and Bacterial Resistance in Chicken. Carcasses, livers
and hearts from chicken with or without pericarditis/perihepatitis were studied in 60 lots of poultry
slaughtered under the Federal Inspection System in the state of Tocantins, Brazil between August 2010
and June 2011. Twenty-six indicative Salmonella sp. were isolated in 11 lots (18.33%). Different strains
of Salmonella were isolated more than a kind of sample/lot. The most frequent serovar was Enteriditis
(38.46%, 10/26), while the second was Mbandaka (19.23%, 5/26), both isolated from hearts, livers
and carcasses. Regarding antimicrobial resistance, of 12 tested principal pharmacological agents, the
samples appeared to be most sensitive to tetracyclines, but showed 100% resistance to one or more
active principal agents, especially sulfamethoxazole (30 mcg) and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (30 mcg).
Although Salmonella sp. was isolated from normal carcasses, the results are within permitted levels
for unfrozen products according to Brazilian legislation. However, one should always be aware of the
hygienic and sanitary conditions of production processes and food processing, especially regarding
good manufacturing practices.
