Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S.Typhimurium)
Xylose lysine deoxycholate (XLD) agar.
Microbial classification
Salmonella species are one of the most commonly seen foodborne pathogens, affecting animals and humans worldwide (4,7,12,17,19).
The serological clarification of Salmonella serovars may be determined by commercially accessible polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), which detect antigens characteristic to a particular serovar (7,18).
A bacterium serovar is established by somatic, flagellar, and capsular antigens present in the cell walls (6,7,12,19).
Belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family S. Typhimurium is a gram-negative rod flagellated, non-sporing, catalase-positive, …show more content…
Different media for isolation of Salmonella enterica from faeces:
Tables 1-3:
Direct plating obtained the following results MLCB showed the greatest individual isolation percentage (84.8%) with no compelling affect from competing flora (CF). ABC indicated, even though highly specific, lacked sensitivity and isolation percentages were unfavourably altered by any amount of CF. Isolation percentages from DCA & XLD. were only affected when there was an abundance of CF, least specific was DCA (1). Infection prevention and control
Prevention can be achieved through stringent adherence to PC2 Laboratory protocols (9)
Salmonella enterica can be contracted through the consumption of infected meat and eggs. This is the leading source of human infections, particularly those caused by Salmonella Typhimurium, creating a considerable public health risk
