Abstract

Non typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS) due to Salmonella enterica Typhimurium is one of the leading causes of food borne outbreaks caused by consumption of contaminated eggs, meat, and meat products. S. enterica Typhimurium, isolated form chicken meat sample was characterized microbiologically and confirmed by PCR of Salmonella genus (invA) and Typhimurium serovar (STM4497) specific sequence. The isolate was subjected to PCR virulotyping of genes playing vital role in adhesion, intracellular survival, iron metabolism, plasmid virulence and toxin production.
