ISOLATION OF SALMONELLA FROM CHICKEN MEATS IN NORTHERN IRAQ
Abstract
The present study was conducted to isolate and confirm Salmonella in fresh and frozen chicken meats collected in local markets and butcheries in Duhok and Arbil, Northern Iraq. In this respect, fifty fresh and fifty frozen chicken meats were analyzed by the cultural, biochemical and serological methods. The suspected cultures were later subjected to the antibiotic resistance test using 13 known antibiotics. The cultural method for isolation of Salmonella indicated that 11 agar plates (9 from fresh (18%) and 2 from frozen (4%)) were probably suspected with Salmonella. Seven suspected meat samples was collected in Arbil (15.6%) and 4 in Duhok (7.3%). The biochemical confirmation tests performed later confirmed that 8 of 11 suspected culture contained Salmonella. The RapIDTM ONE test for further confirmation showed that all 11 suspected cultures probably infected with Salmonella with two different species. Using somatic (O) and flagellar (H) antisera, it was observed agglutination of the suspected cultures with polyvalent O and H antisera, indicating the suspected cultures contained Salmonella. The cultures were serotyped by the Central Health Laboratory, and confirmed that 8 of them were infected with S. Typhimurium, and 3 of them with S. Anatum. S. typhimurium and S. anatum were found to be sensitive only to CT, C, CIP and TE. S. anatum also exhibited sensitivity to K and TMP.
