Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance in NTS isolates is a major public health concern in Taiwan, and the mechanisms of azithromycin resistance are rarely investigated. Azithromycin and carbapenems are the last resort for the treatment of invasive salmonellosis caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant Salmonella strains.
