Detection and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella isolates from selected poultry farms in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

ABSTRACT: Introduction. Salmonella is one of the most prevalent foodborne bacteria, posing a significant global health concern and responsible for ~155,000 deaths and 93.8 million human foodborne illnesses annually. The rampant use of antibiotic agents to combat salmonellosis in poultry has contributed to the emergence of resistance against commonly used antibiotics. Methodology. The cross-sectional study was conducted between January and June 2023 across three districts in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. Salmonella isolates were detected and confirmed by using standard microbiological conventional methods and molecular methods such as PCR and genomic sequencing. PCR was used for detecting the presence of the invA gene, and partial DNA sequencing was performed
