Abstract
The aim of this study was to isolate Salmonellae from 579 birds (348 chickens, 104 ducks, 30
turkeys, 50 quail, 30 pigeons and 17 geese) from 4 Egyptian Governorates. The Samples
collected from internal organs (liver, cecum, spleen and heart) were examined bacteriologically
and serologically. Sixty-three (10.9%) out of 579 birds were found positive while 516 (89.1%)
birds were negative for Salmonella isolation. The number and percentage of positive chickens,
ducks, turkeys, quails, pigeons and geese were 43 (12.4%), 10 (9.6%), 3 (10%), 5 (10%), 2
(6.7%) and 0 (0%) respectively. In this study, S. Typhimurium, S. Apeyeme, S. Kentucky, S.
Daula, S. Newport, S. Tamale, S. Molade, S. Colindale, S. Lexington, S. Bargny, S. Enteritidis,
S. Papuana, S. Labadi, S. Santiago, S. Magherafelt, S. Rechovot, S. Takoradi, S. Angers and S.
Shubra were isolated from chickens. While S. Inganda, S. Infantis and S. Larochelle were
isolated from ducks but S. Virchow and S. Vejle were isolated from turkeys. S. Shangani and S.
Jedburgh were isolated from quails while S. Alfort and S. Wingrove were isolated from pigeons
in this study.
