| Abstract |
We compared the results of stool tests and the Salmonella test results of the poultry and the environment from January 2015 to June 2017. 84 strains of salmonella were isolated in the stool tests for food-related businesses. Shigella and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O-157 were not isolated. The main O group of Salmonella isolated in the stool tests was 38.1% in the O4 group, 28.6% in the O7 group, and 22.6% in the O8 group. 44.2% of the main serotypes of Salmonella are Salmonella Stanley, S. Saintpaul, S. Bardo or S. Newport, S. Korbol or S. Nagoya, S. Montevideo, S. Schwarzengrund, S. Thompson, S. Yovokome or S. Manhattan.
The O group of Salmonella of the poultry and the environment was 70.7% in O7 group and 12.1% in O18 group. The serotypes of Salmonella were S. Infantis 41.4%, S. Montevideo and S. Cerro or S. Aarhus 31.3%. Among these results, focusing on S. Infantis, S. Montevideo, S. Mbandaka, S. Thompson, salmonella of the O7 group which is common in the stool tests and poultry and the environment, suggested a risk of food poisoning. |
