  8. Investigating the dynamics of Salmonella contamination in Integrated Poultry Companies using a Whole Genome Sequencing approach.

    • Poultry Science

    • Author(s): José L. Medina-Santana, David Ortega-Paredes, Sofia de Janon, Elton Burnett, Maria Ishida, Brian Sauders, Mieke Stevens, Christian Vinueza-Burgos The study of non-typhoid Salmonella in broiler integrations has been limited by the resolution of typing techniques. Although serotyping of Salmonella isolates is used as a traditional approach, it is not of enough resolution to clearly understand the dynamics of this pathogen within poultry companies.
