    Abstract Background: Salmonellosis, a disease which occurs following the consumption of food contaminated with salmonella, is most frequently present in young children and older immunocompromised individuals. This condition must be treated with antibiotics. The increased degree of morbidity comes in relation to the increased resistance of Sallmonellae species to antibiotics. Resistance has considerably been increased in approximately the last twenty years, thanks mostly to the establishment of diagnoses ex juvantibus, the prescription of therapies without antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance testing, as well as the massive, unjustified usage of antibiotics. Purpose: The goal of this study was to examine the representation of antibiotic susceptibility/resistance of Salmonella species isolated in non-hospitalised patients. Materials and methods: In a microbiological laboratory in the Institute for Public Health Canton of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), analysed were samples of stool and urine of non-hospitalised patients with our without developed symptoms of salmonellosis in the period from one year. Results: Of the total 69 patients infected with salmonella, in 65 (94.2%) S. enteritidis group D was isolated, in 3 (4.3%) S. species group B, and in 1 (1.4%) patient there was a S. enteritidis group D and a S. species group C. Isolated strains were resistant to Ampicillin in 63 (91.3%) patients, while to Ciprofloxacin and Bactrim there was no established resistance. Conclusions: The most commonly isolated bacterial strain was S. enteritidis group D. Isolated strains show different susceptibility/resistance to tested antibiotics, and thus the completion of an antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance test is necessary before adding an antibiotic to the patient’s treatment.

    Abstract Aim To determine the prevalence rate and resistance profile of Streptococcus agalactiae (S. agalactiae) in vaginal swabs of pregnant and adult non-pregnant women in the Tuzla region, Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), as well as its association with other aerobic bacteria. Methods This prospective study included 200 women, 100 pregnant and 100 adult non-pregnant. The research was conducted at the Institute of Microbiology, University Clinical Center Tuzla from October to December 2015. Standard aerobic microbiological techniques were used for isolation and identification of S. agalactiae and other aerobic bacteria. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined by the disk diffusion and microdilution method (VITEK 2/AES instrument). Results Among 200 vaginal swabs, 17 (8.50%) were positive for S. agalactiae, e. g., 7% (7/100) of pregnant and 10% (10/100) of adult non-pregnant women. In the pregnant group, 71.4% (5/7) of S. agalactiae isolates were susceptible to clindamycin and 85.7% (6/7) to erythromycin. In the adult non-pregnant group, only resistance to clindamycin was observed in one patient (1/10; 10%). S. agalactiae as single pathogen was isolated in 57.14% (4/7) of pregnant and 60% (6/10) of adult non-pregnant S. agalactiae positive women. In mixed microbial cultures S. agalactiae was most frequently associated with Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli. Conclusion The rate of S. agalactiae positive women in the population of pregnant and adult non-pregnant women of Tuzla Canton, B&H is comparable with other European countries. Large studies are needed to develop a common national strategy for the prevention of S. agalactiae infection in B&H, especially during pregnancy.
