“…Rectal swabs were made randomly from individual healthy birds in different houses or coops in each farm as described previously (13). Each swab was placed in a sterile plastic bag and transported at ambient temperature to the laboratory, where it was stored at 4°C until examined.…”

(39 isolates, 12.1%). Overall, S. Typhimurium was the most commonly detected serovar; among the individual species, S. Pullorum was most commonly isolated from chickens, S. Enteritidis was most common in ducks, S. Typhimurium was most common in geese and pigeons, and S. enterica serovar Saintpaul was most common in turkeys. PCR determination of 20 fimbrial genes demonstrated the presence of bcfD, csgA, fimA, stdB, and sthE genes and the absence of staA and stgA genes in these isolates, and other loci were variably distributed, with frequency values ranging from 11.8 to 99.1%. These 323 Salmonella isolates were subdivided into 41 different fimbrial genotypes, and of these isolate, 285 strains (88.2%) had 12 to 14 fimbrial genes. Our findings indicated that the Salmonella isolates from different poultry species were phenotypically and genetically diverse and that some fimbrial genes are more frequently associated with serovars or serogroups.

“…Unfortunately, most studies on the prevalence and characterization of Salmonella have focused on isolates from farms, abattoirs or food products in markets separately, not from the combination of these sites (Visscher et al, 2011;Yan et al, 2010;Yang et al, 2010). There is also very little research on the potential role of the food production chain in the dissemination of MDR Salmonella in China.…”

“…However, the prevalence of Salmonella was 5.58% in fattening pigs in Germany (Visscher et al, 2011;Tadee et al, S. typhimurium is most commonly attributed to swine Salmonellosis in Europe. It becomes a source of contamination of pork products, and it causes tremendous economic and animal welfare costs (Arce et al, 2014).…”

Salmonella is one of the most important food-borne zoonotic pathogens, causing acute or chronic digestive diseases such as enteritis. The acute form of enteritis is common in young pigs of 2 -4 months of age. The main symptoms include high fever (41 -42℃), loss of appetite, and increased mortality within 2 -4 days of onset of the disease. It is often the cause of increasing mortality, decreasing growth rate and reducing feed efficiency of piglets. In the case of chronic enteritis in pigs, the main symptom is weight loss due to the continuing severe diarrhea. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis are typical pig adapted serotypes, which cause one of four major syndromes: enteric fever, enterocolitis/diarrhea, bacteremia and chronic asymptomatic carriage. These syndromes cause a huge economic burden to swine industry by reducing production. Therefore, it is necessary that swine industries should strive to decrease Salmonellosis in pigs in order to reduce economic losses. There are several measures, such as vaccination to prevent salmonellosis, that are implemented differently from country to country. For the treatment of Salmonella, ongoing antibiotic treatment is needed. However constant doses of antibiotics can be a problem because of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, the focus should be made more on prevention than treatment. In this review, we addressed the basic information about Salmonella, route of infection, clinical symptoms, and prevention of Salmonellosis.
