Drug resistance and genotyping studies of <i>Salmonella</i> Enteritidis isolated from broiler chickens in Iran.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Poultry products are considered an important source of Salmonella infections. Transmission of non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica serovars to humans has been a great concern worldwide. Occurrence of multi-drug resistance, adding to the presence of various virulence factors, which facilitate the pathogenesis of Salmonella, would cause tremendous risk for both human and animals' health.

Methods and results

During 2023, out of a total number of 1,274 samples from broilers in Iran, 114 isolates of Salmonella spp. (8.94%) were detected from which 97 isolates were confirmed as Salmonella Enteritidis (SE). Eight virulence genes including invA, sefA, sopE, spvC, hilA, agfA, sivH and lpf
