“…Resistance to sulfamethoxazole in MDR Salmonella has been prevalent for three decades among human isolates in India [30,31] and communicability of Salmonella between human and animals [32,33] might be responsible for the similar pattern in Salmonella isolates from equids and from other animals. Resistance to similar drugs is reported in Salmonella isolated from food, water [21,22] and in different animals [34] in India.…”

“…Chevon and mutton are valuable source of protein and it is frequently consumed by many communities in India, specifically at religious event celebration. Goats and sheep are mostly slaughtered at small abattoirs having not so much hygienic conditions in most parts of India [ 4 ]. The poor hygienic conditions in the slaughterhouses and meat shops encourage microbial contamination, survival and growth [ 5 ].…”

Aim:The aim of this study was (i) To attempt isolation and identification of Salmonella species from samples. (ii) Serotyping of Salmonella isolates. (iii) Detection of virulence factor associated genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Materials and Methods:A total of 284 samples comprised of chevon and mutton (112 samples each) as well as 60 samples (20 each of retail meat shops environment samples viz. Butchers’ hands, knives and log swabs) were collected from the retail meat shops in and around Anand City under aseptic precautions. Rappaport-vassiliadis soy bean meal broth and tetrathionate broth was used for the enrichment of all the samples and inoculation was done on brilliant green agar and xylose lysine deoxycholate agar. This was followed by the confirmation of isolates using biochemical tests. For the serotyping, isolates were sent to the National Salmonella and Escherichia Centre, Central Research Institute, Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh. Detection of virulence genes was performed by PCR technique using previously reported primer.Result:Of 284 meats and retail meat shops environment samples, 13 (4.58%) samples were found positive for Salmonella. It was interesting to know that incidence of Salmonella was more in mutton (6.25%) than chevon (3.57%). In case of meat shop environmental samples 1 (5.00%) sample observed positive for Salmonella separately among the butchers’ hands and knives swabs (Each of 20 samples) examined. Out of 13, eleven isolates detected as Salmonella Typhimurium, whereas only two isolates were detected as Salmonella Enteritidis. All Salmonella isolates possess invA and stn genes, whereas nine isolates had a presence of spvR gene while only five of the isolates revealed the presence of spvC gene as shown by in vitro detection of virulence genes by PCR.Conclusion:Therefore, might be suggested that the good hygiene practices and effective control measures should be taken to encourage clean meat production with prolonged shelf-life.

“…Salmonella resides in the gallbladder of cattle and goats and contributes to the persistent carrier status of these animals (Woldemariama et al, 2005). Previous studies report the presence of Salmonella in gallbladders of ruminants (McDonough et al, 2000;Chandra et al, 2006;Akoachere et al, 2009 The AMHB frequency was of 23.02%, for the most part isolated from the epithelium ( Table 1). The occurrence of AMHB and other prokaryotes found in the gallbladder call our attention to care and need for changes in the current method of liver inspection since, according to the standardization of techniques for cattle slaughtering (Brasil, 1971), in the pos-mortem exam of cattle liver, the gallbladder is compressed, and incised as needed.…”

Pathogenic microorganisms can reside transiently or permanently in the gallbladder of cattle. Thus, during slaughter, more attention should be given to the gastrointestinal tract, especially to the accessory organ, the gallbladder. The main aim of this study was to characterize the bacterial microbiota present in bile and gallbladder epithelium of cattle slaughtered in a slaughtering plant under sanitary conditions and to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance in strains of the genus Staphylococcus. Thirty intact gallbladders were collected and the in bile and epithelium were researched for the presence of Aerobic Mesophilic Heterotrophic Bacteria (AMHB), Staphylococcus spp., total Enterobacteriaceae, Enterococcus spp. and Salmonella spp. The frequency of isolation of the microorganism mentioned above were, respectively: 23.02%, 14.39%, 13.67%, 24.46%, 0% and 24.46%. Concerning both gallbladder environments, the frequency of isolation of the microorganisms in the epithelium was 64.03%, and in the bile 35.97%, with no statistical difference, but with significant difference between the population averages. In antimicrobial susceptibility testing, strains of Staphylococcus from both bile and gallbladder epithelium showed sensitivity to the antimicrobials: penicillin G, ceftriaxone, chloramphenicol and gentamicin. The observation that the gallbladder supports a high frequency of microorganisms brings us to the possible fact that cattle might be a persistent carrier of pathogens of great importance to public health.
