First Report of Extended-Spectrum-β-Lactamase-Producing <i>Salmonella enterica</i> Serovar Kentucky Isolated from Poultry in Ireland

Therapy of invasive human salmonellosis is complicated by increasing antimicrobial resistance. Food animals are the principal source of infection with nontyphoid Salmonella. We report the emergence of broad-spectrum-cephalosporin resistance in Salmonella enterica serovar Kentucky in poultry in Ireland.
