Positive from Food in Brazil: Detection and Characterization.

The gene has been identified in bacterial isolates obtained from humans, animals, environment, and food, including spp., which is one of the major foodborne pathogens worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of gene in spp.

Occurrence of Salmonella spp. in broiler chicken carcasses and their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents.

The present study was carried out to evaluate the occurrence of Salmonellae in broiler chicken carcasses and to determine the antimicrobial resistance profile of the isolated strains. Twenty-five out of the 260 broiler chicken carcasses samples (9.6%) were positive for Salmonella.

Phage types of Salmonella enteritidis isolated from clinical and food samples, and from broiler carcasses in southern Brazil.

272 isolates of Salmonella Enteritidis (111 isolated from frozen broiler chicken carcasses, 126 from human food and other biological materials involved in food poisoning outbreaks and 35 from different poultry materials) were selected for phage typing. From these, 111 were phage typed, 57.65% being classified as phage type 4, 32.
