Phage typing of Salmonella enteritidis strains isolated from poultry in Mexico
Previous research in México has demonstrated the presence of Salmonella enteritidis (SE) in commercial poultry. Uncooked eggs/ egg products are a major source of SE infection in humans. The purpose of this research was to phage type Mexican poultry SE isolates. Seventy three serotype-confirmed isolates were used. Fourteen isolates were identified as phage type 4, while 29 corresponded to phage type 8. Thirty isolates were non typeable. Phage type 4 was isolated from breeders and broilers. Phage type 8 was isolated from grand parent stock, breeders, commercial layers, broilers, hatchers, and eggs. Isolates identified came from the following Mexican states: Coahuila, Durango, Mexico State, Jalisco, Morelos, Oaxaca, Puebla, and Queretaro. Further studies on SE isolates from poultry and humans in Mexico are recommended, since such isolates might be deleterious for public health.
