Abstract		Salmonellae are one of the most common causes of foodborne diseases worldwide. With the rising incidence, increasing rates of antibiotic resistance have been reported in various regions throughout the world and certain multiple antibiotic-resistant clones have disseminated in areas, rather distant from each other. There have been no data collected on salmonella resistance in Slovenia so far. Therefore a national survey of salmonella serotypes and antimicrobial resitance to 12 antibiotics was conducted by all medical microbiological laboratory involved in salmonella detection. In year 2001, 1665 strains were isolated. Predominant serotype was Salmonella Enteritidis in 87% (1432 isolates); from 63% in Koper to 96% in Novo mesto. The second most common serotype was Salmonella Typhimurium isolated in 5% ( 82 isolates). 87% of strains were susceptible to all antimicrobials, 7% were resistant to one, 3 % were resistant to two and only 3% were resistant to three or more antimicrobials. S. Enteritidis was usually susceptible for most antimicrobials. S. Typhimurium was far more resistant. All isolates were susceptible only for third generation cephalosporine and ciprofloxacin; 95 % for trimethoprim and kanamycin; 93% for trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and gentamicin; 57 % for chloramphenicol; 46% for tetracycline; 40% for nalidixic acid, 26% for ampicillin and 15% for streptomycin and sulphonamides. Among S. Typhimurium isolates there was 39% resistotipe ACSSuT (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and tetracycline). Results of one year surveillance are favourable, because susceptible strains df S. Enteritidis are predominant. Experiences from the USA and some European countries indicate, that continuous surveilllance is necessary.
