“…was demonstrated in this study where on one occasion the phage type isolated in the lymph node of a pig was genotypically identical to that isolated from the truck. Although our findings are consistent with those of others (Gebreyes et al, 2004;Magistrali et al, 2008) who demonstrated that pigs can become contaminated with Salmonella spp. during transport, trucks may be considered a minor source of Salmonella contamination in the current study as suggested by Swanenburg, Berends et al (2001).…”

“…Restriction with one enzyme has its limitations as shown by the clonality of phage types DT104b and U302, however, phage type U302 did show some heterogeneity which has also been shown by Doran et al (2005). However, despite these limitations serotypes Derby, Infantis and Panama were successfully differentiated into distinct PFGE profiles which are in agreement with those findings of previous authors (Kérouanton et al, 2007;Magistrali et al, 2008).…”

“…[4][5][6] Salmonella is often transmitted to humans through the food chain, with over 95% of salmonellosis cases attributable to the consumption of undercooked or mishandled pork, poultry and eggs. [6][7][8] A multistate outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infections linked to foster farm brand chicken has been reported. 9 Emergence of multi drug resistant Salmonella has been reported worldwide and it is a major public health concern.…”

The availability and popularity of processed, ready-to-cook (RTC) poultry products are increasing in India. Though fresh poultry is known to be contaminated with Salmonella, the prevalence of this foodborne pathogen in RTC poultry products is not reported. Eighty-seven chilled and frozen RTC poultry samples of 4 different brands obtained from supermarkets and departmental stores in Mumbai were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella. The prevalence of Salmonella was higher (51%) in chilled RTC samples as compared to the frozen RTC samples (5%). The frozen RTC samples of one brand were free from Salmonella. S. Typhimurium (75.2%) was the most prevalent serovar, followed by S. Enteritidis (23%) and S. Weltevreden (1.7%). A high percentage (81.4%) of the isolates were found to be resistant to 5 or more antibiotics and class 1 integron, which has been shown to confer multi-drug resistance, was detected in 69.9% of the isolates. Multiple antibiotic resistance index of isolates was high (0.6) indicating the indiscriminate use of antibiotics during poultry farming. High genetic diversity was observed among the Salmonella serovars based on Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis profiles. Results showed the presence of multi-drug resistant Salmonella serovars in processed, chilled RTC poultry products marketed in Mumbai, India.

“…Infection with Salmonella can lead to serious and potentially fatal infections including bacteraemia, septic arthritis, meningitis and pneumonia [2]. Faecal-oral transmission of Salmonella occurs most commonly through the consumption of contaminated food causing salmonellosisin humans [3].…”
