Eleven (11) Salmonella strains were recovered from 11 (8.2%) out of 134 turkey meat samples in Albania, for the period of time 1996-1998. The percentage of Salmonella positive turkey meat samples varied with 5% in 1996 (3 out of 60), 14.7% in 1997 (5 out of 34) and 7.5% in 1998 (3 out of 40). The isolated strains were found to belong to 3 different Salmonella serogroups; 6 isolates to serogroup B, 4 isolates to serogroup D and 1 isolate to serogroup C. Five (5) different serotypes were encountered; Salmonella enteritidis (4 isolates), Salmonella agona (3 isolates), S. saint-paul, S. reading and S. blockley with only one isolate each. One Salmonella strain, belonging to serogroup B, was not completely serotyped.

D012475 Salmonella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
