Distribution and Serological Typing of Salmonella Spp. Isolates from Broiler
نویسندگان
چکیده
The studies were performed on samples of broiler carcasses from 13 different Bulgarian poultry slaughterhouses in 2008. Neck skin samples from 327 chilled broilers were examined for presence of Salmonella spp. All isolates were serologically typed. Positive samples were 86/327 or 26.29% of all studied broiler carcasses. Contaminated samples originated more frequently from South Bulgaria as compared to North Bulgaria (28.45% and 25.12% respectively). The most commonly encountered Salmonella serovars were S. Montevideo – 22; S. Enteritidis – 18; S. Infantis – 18; S. Virchow – 5; S. Menden – 4 isolates. Our studies showed that more than 1⁄4 (26.29%) of all examined chilled broiler carcasses were contaminated with Salmonella spp. that was much more than the overall proportion of positive samples in fresh broiler meat at EU level (5.5% in 2007).
