Background  Multidrug-resistant  Salmonella  strains are frequently encountered problems worldwide with considerable increased occurrences in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and frequency of antimicrobial resistance and associated resistance genes in  Salmonella  isolates from broiler farms in different regions of Iran covering a time period of four years.    Results  From 2007 to 2011, 36  Salmonella  strains were isolated from broiler farms located in three northern provinces of Iran. The isolates were serotyped, antimicrobial susceptibility tested, and characterized for antimicrobial resistance genes associated to the phenotype. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was applied for comparison of genetic relatedness.  Two serovars were detected among the isolates;  Salmonella enterica  serovar Infantis (75%) and  S.  Enteritidis (25%). Thirty-four (94%) of the isolates exhibited resistance to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin caused by a single mutation in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of  gyr A. For all strains this mutation occurred in the codon of Asp 87  leading to a Asp 87- Tyr, Asp 87- Gly or Asp 87- Asn substitutions. All  S.  Infantis (n = 27) were resistant to tetracycline, spectinomycin, streptomycin, and sulfamethoxazole and harbored the associated resistance genes;  tet A,  dfrA14 ,  aad A1, and  sul I together with class 1 integrons. The isolates revealed highly similar PFGE patterns indicating clonal relatedness across different geographical locations.    Conclusion  The data provided fundamental information applicable when launching future control programs for broilers in Iran with the aim to conserve the effectiveness of important antimicrobials for treatment in humans.
