Abstract excerpt
Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) is a major causative agent of food-borne gastroenteritis associated with the consumption of contaminated poultry products. In this study we used multilocus variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) analysis (MLVA) to discriminate a total of 188 S. Enteritidis strains recovered from human (n=67), food (n=61) and chickens (n=60) during a 24 year period (1986 through 2010) in...
