The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of different serotypes of Salmonella spp. strains in poultry farming in N'Djamena and Doba towns. The strains were isolated on Hektoen agar medium, then identified through API 20E gallery, and serotyped by the direct agglutination technique on blade according to Kauffmann and White scheme. From a total of 1090 samples analyzed, 40 Salmonella strains corresponding to a prevalence of 3.67 % were identified, and regrouped into 11 serotypes: Salmonella Idikan (20%, n=8), Salmonella Anatum (15%, n=6), Salmonella Mbandaka (12.5%, n=5), Salmonella Limete, Salmonella Infantis, Salmonella Derby (10%, n=4), Salmonella Virchow (7.5%, n=3), Salmonella Gallinarum, Salmonella Choleraesuis (5%, n=2), Salmonella Paratyphi A, Salmonella Enteritidis (2.5%, n=1). Each sample taken apart contained at least one serovar, indicating that poultry farming in Chad is seriously affected by Salmonella. Moreover, Salmonella Paratyphi A and two strains of Salmonella Choleraesuis and peculiar respectively infecting man and pig were also isolated, probably due to fecal contamination of poultry food or water. These results reveal for the first time, a wide distribution of Salmonella spp. serovars in modern and traditional poultry farming sectors in N'Djamena and Doba in Chad.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
