  Salmonella of poultry are zoonotic microorganisms transmitted to humans and other animals via contact with infected poultry feces, meat, eggs and formites. This study was conducted to phenotypically characterize Salmonella enterica from samples collected from chickens presented for slaughter in some selected Local Government Areas of Yobe State, Nigeria, as well as carry out antimicrobial susceptibility and minimum inhibition concentration on the isolates. A cloacal swab and blood samples were collected and transported on ice pack to Veterinary Microbiology Laboratory, University of Maiduguri and analyzed for the presence of Salmonella enterica. Samples were then inoculated onto Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate agar for morphological identification of Salmonella blackish colonies. A total of 600 (300 cloacal swab and 300 blood), consisting (202 males, 98 .. Read More»
