Detection of Salmonella in Egg Shell and Egg Content from Different Housing Systems for Laying Hens
نویسنده
چکیده
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay and conventional microbiological methods were used to detect bacterial contamination of egg shells and egg content in different commercial housing systems, open house system and evaporative cooling system. A PCR assay was developed for direct detection using a set of primers specific for the invasion by A gene (invA) of Salmonella spp. PCR detected the presence of Salmonella in 2 samples of shell egg from the evaporative cooling system, while conventional cultural methods detected no Salmonella from the same samples. Keywords—egg content, egg shell, invA gene, PCR, Salmonella spp.
