Association between antimicrobial resistance characteristics and their related resistance genes were analysed by Pearson Chi-square of Fisher’s exact tests (where appropriated) in Epi Info statistical software using StatCalc modules. The results were considered as statistically significant when p-value < 0.05.
The clonal analysis of ten Salmonella DNA fingerprint were analysed by using BioNumerics software version 7.6.3 (Applied Maths, Belgium). The relatedness dendrogram was constructed using Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) with Dice coefficient at an optimization setting of 1% and a position tolerance setting of 1%. Interpretation of pulsotype based on the percentage of similarity.
