Detection of Salmonella serotypes adapted to diverse stresses in poultry meat at processing level in Portugal. 29th ECCMID European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/26873Non-typhoidal Salmonella causes frequently foodborneinfections mainly associated with the consumption of eggs/poultry products. A decreasing trend in human salmonellosis, particularly of S.Enteritidis, has been observed in EU dueto successful control programs at theavian production level. Nevertheless, expansion of less frequent serotypes and/or certain well-adapted clones has been reported.Theeffectiveness of control practices (e.g. organicacids in feed/biocides) on theelimination of Salmonella,and particularly of EU targeted serotypes, in poultry has been scarcely explored. Here, weinvestigated the presence of Salmonella, using conventional and molecular approaches,and characterizetheir clinically-relevant serotypes,among fresh chickenmeat samples at poultry processing level in Portugal.engSalmonella serotypesconference object
