Resistance is the mechanism by which the bacteria can lower the action of the agents antimicrobials of form natural or acquired; within the most frequent causes is the indiscriminate use of these agents in patients humans and cattle production. Since 1990, have been identified news strains of bacteria that cause emerging zoonotic diseases. Inside of these zoonosis, the salmonellosis is considered the disease more diffused at word level, the wide distribution in nature between wildlife, domestics animals and the environment has generated a quick propagation of their more than 2500 serotypes in humans. However, the great preoccupation for infection with this enteropathogen is due to the increasingly in treatment failures with conventional antimicrobials, caused by the high bacterial resistance to these drugs. The present article is a review of the problems that it has developed resistance to Salmonella in humans and animals; further contains strategies for prevention and control of this phenomenon, which although is far from over, allow strengthen the public health.

Keywords : Antimicrobials; resistance; Salmonella spp; zoonosis.
