Serotypes, Virulence and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Salmonella Spp. Strains, Isolated from Poultry Meat Cutting Parts in Greater Tunis (Tunisia)
This study was conducted to estimate the infection rate, antibiotic susceptibility and serotype distribution and virulence genes of Salmonella in poultry meat cutting parts in Greater Tunis, Tunisia. In four years (2012-2015), 433 samples were sent to Food Microbiology Laboratory of the National School of Veterinary Medicine of Sidi thabet. The poultry meat cutting parts contamination prevalence by Salmonella spp. was 6.7% (29/433). The 29 isolates were positive to PCR using Salmonella specific primers (Figure 1). This rate varies from 3.1% (7/226) for skinless poultry meat cutting parts to 10.6% (22/207) for skin pou... view moreĀ»
