plasmids play an important role in the virulence and antibiotic resistance of salmonella. salmonella carry plasmids having different size and number. plasmid profile analysis of single isolates of salmonella typhimurium and salmonella enteritidis revealed the presence of 4- plasmid profiles. salmonella serovars produce several type iii secretions including sop-e and sop –b. soap e is detected b...

Background: DNA amplification method has been developed for identifying and discriminating Salmonella serovars, using specific primers at the genus and serovar levels and to identify the S. Enteritidis, S. Dublin, S. Gallinarum and S. Pullorum. Objectives: This study was conducted for molecular identification and discrimination among some important Salmonella serovars. Methods: Fifty isolates o...

broiler carcasses are considered to be the major source of salmonella detection and enumeration of salmonella in this product are two criteria for evaluation of hygienic quality of the slaughterhouses and the product itself. in this study, contamination of broiler carcasses produced in poultry industrial slaughterhouses in tehran province was assessed using three tube mpn methods. according to ...

background: and objectives: salmonella infections are endemic in many developing countries with poor sanitary conditions, but emerge sporadically as a serious public health threat in developed countries. infections with multidrug resistant (mdr) strains of salmonella have been associated with treatment failures. salmonella spp. resistant to extended spectrum cephalosporins are increasing in pre...

background and objectives: salmonella is an important food-borne pathogen in humans. strains of salmonella spp. that producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases have become a concern in medicine regarding both antimicrobial treatment and infection control program. the objective of this study was to describe the antibiotic susceptibility, esbl production and determining the prevalence of the bla ct...

Salmonella spp. are zoonotic enteric bacteria able to infect humans, livestock and wildlife. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella (spp.) and to determine antibiotic susceptibility, serogrouping and presence of invA gene (Salmonella Invasion Gene A) in the detected strains in wild captive herbivores in Iran. The fecal samples of 103 animals from 8 different speci...

The purpose of this study was to survey infections with Salmonella spp. in poultry flocks in the vicinity of Tehran and to determine the most frequent serogroups and serotypes implicated. Twenty-eight samples of pullet, layer, and broiler flocks were randomly collected (n=1463), including freshly dropped feces from live birds or visceral organs from dead birds. In most flocks, 60 samples were t...
