“…Salmonella remain as a serious economic problem to livestock in countries where measures of control are not efficient or in those where the climatic conditions favour the environmental spread of these microorganisms (Barrow et al, 2011). Rajagopal and Mini (2013) found that the maximum Salmonella outbreak in the age group of 7-9 days and the maximum mortality was found in the age group of 1-2 weeks old.…”

“…Salmonella causing infections especially specific host such as S. gallinarum and S. pullorum in poultry birds. Since this Salmonellosis cause huge economic impact especially in poultry and is distributed worldwide (Rajagopal and Mini, 2013). Consumption of contaminated food and water results in the Salmonella infection.…”

“…Since this furazolidone is a nitrofuran derivative with bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity against Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria. Various other antibiotics can be used for controlling and treating Salmonellosis, including sulphonomides, chloramphenicol, biomycin, oxytetracycline, apramycin, gentamicin, amoxycillin, potentiated sulponamide, tetracylines, fluoroquinolones and chlorotetracycline (Aziz et al, 1997;McMullin 2004;Taddele et al, 2012;Rajagopal and Mini, 2013). In addition, disinfection of the entire farm by formaldehyde spraying and fumigation also helped in control of the disease.…”

“…Fowl typhoid (FT) and pullorum disease (PD) are septicaemic diseases and are caused by S. gallinarum and S. Pullorum respectively which are host specific Salmonella in poultry birds. These stains does not possess zoonotic potential like S. typhimurium or S. enteritidis, but they cause severe mortality among poultry birds which results in massive economic loss (Shivaprasad, 2000;Rajagopal and Mini, 2013). Once this Salmonella infection has established in a primary breeding flock, it can infect the other units very easily through hatcheries via vertical and horizontal ways.…”

This review documents the sporadic reporting of poultry Salmonella serovars in South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia, India, and Romania, five countries selected based on the importance of their distribution in different regions of the world and their cumulative significant population size of 1.6 billion. South Africa reported contamination of its poultry carcasses by S. Hadar, S. Blockley, S. Irumu, and S. Anatum. Results from Egypt showed that S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium were predominant in poultry along with other non-typhoid strains, namely S. Infantis, S. Kentucky, S. Tsevie, S. Chiredzi, and S. Heidelberg. In Indonesia, the isolation of Salmonella Typhi was the main focus, while other serovars included S. Kentucky, S. Typhimurium, and S. Paratyhi C. In India, S. Bareilly was predominant compared to S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, S. Paratyphi B, S. Cerro, S. Mbandaka, S. Molade, S. Kottbus, and S. Gallinarum. Romania reported two Salmonella serovars in poultry that affect humans, namely S. Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium, and other non-typhoid strains including S. Infantis, S. Derby, S. Colindale, S. Rissen, S. Ruzizi, S. Virchow, S. Brandenburg, S. Bredeney, S. Muenchen, S. Kortrijk, and S. Calabar. The results showed the spread of different serovars of Salmonella in those five developing countries, which is alarming and emphasizes the urgent need for the World Health Organization Global Foodborne Infections Network (WHO-GFN) to expand its activities to include more strategic participation and partnership with most developing countries in order to protect poultry and humans from the serious health impact of salmonellosis.
