Salmonella Serotypes

SUMMARYTo find out the salmonella carrier rate, 1980 samples comprising faeces, mesenteric lymph nodes, liver and spleen were collected from 812 sheep and 683 goats slaughtered for food. In all 72 salmonella strains from 51 animals (25 sheep and 26 goats) were isolated. These represented 22 salmonella serotypes. The public health significance of these findings is discussed.

Health Significance

The epidemiology of eating disorders holds important clues for understanding factors that may contribute to their etiology. In addition, epidemiological findings speak to the public health significance of these deleterious syndromes. Information on course and outcome are important for clinicians to understand the prognosis associated with different disorders of eating and for treatment planning. This chapter reviews information on the epidemiology and course of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and two forms of eating disorder not otherwise specified, binge eating disorder and purging disorder.

Health Significance

Mesenteric lymph nodes of slaughter cattle, swabs of slaughter and dressing areas and effluents of Zaria abattoir were cultured for salmonellae. Of a total of 510 samples cultured, 23 (5%) were positive for Salmonella. Five (4%) of 118 bovine lymph nodes contained salmonellae whereas sites swabbed during dressing had a frequency of isolation of 7% (11 of 150) and only 4 (3% of 150 samples) were positive after cleaning of dressing areas. Three (3%) of 92 effluent samples contained salmonellae. Thirteen of the 23 isolates of Salmonella were of different serotypes. The predominant serotypes were S. dublin (4 isolates), S. widemarsh (4 isolates) and S. Handoff (3 isolates). Twenty (87%), 8 (35%) and 8 (35%) isolates were resistant to streptomycin, neomycin and tetracycline respectively, while 6 (26%), 5 (22%) and 3(13%) isolates were not susceptible to gentamicin, ampicillin and chloramphenicol respectively. Overall, 15 resistance patterns were observed. The widespread occurrence of salmonellae in Zaria abattoir coupled with the high incidence of resistance to antimicrobial agents are of public health significance from the viewpoint of food hygiene and therapy for salmonellosis.
