Abstract

Salmonella typhi-murium, S.entertidis, S.paratyphi C and S.thompson were isolated at the first year of study (1980), while S. typhi-mrulum and S.entertidis were the only isolates in the second year (1961). Experimental infections on one-day-old ducklings revealed that the isolates were highly pathogenic. The isolated Salmonella serotypes were sensitive in vitro to Nitrofuran, Chloramphe nicol and Garamycin.
