Abstract excerpt
Salmonella senftenberg was detected in association with persistent contamination events in mussel processing facilities between 1998 and 2002 in Spain. A total of 110 isolates from 8 facilities were subjected to molecular typing by Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE). Additionally, a selection of epidemiologically unrelated isolates of this serovar originating from human, animal, feed and environmental...
