“…S Senftenberg , S Mbandaka and S Kottbus have previously been found in ducks, with varied importance (Henry 2000, Tran Thi and others 2004, Ribeiro and others 2006, Pan and others 2010, Veterinary Laboratories Agency 2011). In contrast, S Muenster has not been isolated from duck farms until now.…”

Salmonella species infections of male mule ducks were studied for 32 months in 100 flocks on nine duck farms in Belgium. The prevalence of Salmonella species infections changed significantly over time (P<0.001) with infection rates of 50, 13.4, 6.7, 2.6 and 2.9 per cent, respectively, at the time of arrival on the farm, at three, six and nine weeks of age, and when the ducks left the breeding unit to enter the force-feeding rooms (at 11 or 12 weeks of age). During the study period, 95 strains of Salmonella were isolated, belonging to 11 serotypes. S Indiana (42.1 per cent) and S Regent (36.8 per cent) were the two most common serotypes, whereas S Typhimurium and S Enteritidis were found only once (1.1 per cent). All isolated strains were resistant to at least two antimicrobials, but resistance to more than five antimicrobials was observed in 21.6 per cent of the strains.

“…The 14 Salmonella serovars isolated from the imported DOD were substantially different from previous scientific literature. [1][2][3][5][6][7]11,13,14,34,45 The isolated serovars of DOD in the current investigation have not been previously reported in Egypt; 21 moreover, because contracting Salmonella causes adverse health effects and even mortality in humans, 46 this study may provide additional evidence that may be used to address this impending global public health issue in the future. 47,48 The high prevalence (5/34) of detected S. enteritidis is evident by the fact that serovar S. enteritidis may have contributed to filling the gap of an ecologic niche, apparent by the considerable increase in S. enteritidis prevalence after the eradication of biovar Gallinarum in the 1960s.…”

“…12 Salmonella has been previously isolated from imported DOD in Brazil and the USA. 11,13,14 Additionally, a significant amount of the infected duck products contained multi-drug-resistant (MDR) foodborne pathogens. 15 Because the prevalence of Salmonella in duck products poses a risk to human populations, an urgent need exists to investigate the prevalence, disease risk to human populations, and the global epidemiology of Salmonella serovars and specific clones.…”

Importing day-old ducklings (DOD) unknowingly infected with non-typhoid Salmonella (NTS) may be associated with disease risk. Domestic and international trade may enhance this risk. Salmonella enterica serovars, their virulence genes combinations and antibiotic resistance, garner attention for their potentiality to contribute to the adverse health effects on populations throughout the world. The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of imported versus domestic DOD as potential carriers of NTS. The results confirm the prevalence of salmonellosis in imported ducklings was 18.5% (25/135), whereas only 12% (9/75) of cases were determined in the domestic ducklings. Fourteen serovars (Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella kisii, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella gaillac, Salmonella uno, Salmonella eingedi, Salmonella shubra, Salmonella bardo, Salmonella inganda, Salmonella kentucky, Salmonella stanley, Salmonella virchow, Salmonella haifa, and Salmonella anatum) were isolated from the imported ducklings, whereas only S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium, S. virchow, and S. shubra were isolated from the domestic ducklings. The isolated Salmonella serovars were 100% susceptible to only colistin sulphate and 100% resistant to lincomycin. The 14 Salmonella serovars were screened for 11 virulence genes (invA, avrA, ssaQ, mgtC, siiD, sopB, gipA, sodC1, sopE1, spvC, and bcfC) by PCR. The invA, sopB, and bcfC genes were detected in 100% of the Salmonella serovars; alternatively, the gipA gene was absent in all of the isolated Salmonella serovars. The 11 virulent genes were not detected in either of S. stanley or S. haifa serovars. The results confirm an association between antibiotic resistance and virulence of Salmonella in the DOD. This study confirms the need for a country adherence to strict public health and food safety regimes.

“…There are different ways to name each serovar, such as S. enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium, also referred as Salmonella Typhimurium or simply S. Typhimurium (Brenner et al, 2000). S. enterica subspecies enterica is a widely spread pathogen mainly present as common inhabitants of humans as well as animals (Ibar et al, 2009;Ribeiro et al, 2006;Stevens, Humphrey, & Maskell, 2009).…”
