Prevalence, risk factors and genetic traits of Salmonella Infantis in Dutch broiler flocks
Salmonella Infantis is a poultry-adapted Salmonella enterica serovar that is increasingly reported in broilers and is also regularly identified among human salmonellosis cases. An emerging S. Infantis mega-plasmid (pESI), carrying fitness, virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes, is also increasingly found. We investigated the prevalence, genetic characteristics and risk factors for (pESI-carrying) S. Infantis in broilers. Faecal samples from 379 broiler flocks (in 198 farms with ≥3000 birds) in the Netherlands were tested. A questionnaire about farm characteristics was also administered.... Mehr ...
