Salmonella enterica  serovars Enteritidis, Pullorum/Gallinarum, and Dublin are infectious pathogens causing serious problems for pig, chicken, and cattle production, respectively. Traditional serotyping for  Salmonella  is costly and labor-intensive. Here, we established a rapid multiplex PCR method to simultaneously identify three prevalent  Salmonella  serovars Enteritidis, Pullorum/Gallinarum, and Dublin individually for the first time. The multiplex PCR-based assay focuses on three genes  tcpS, lygD , and  flhB . Gene  tcpS  exists only in the three  Salmonella  serovars, and  lygD  exists only in  S . Enteritidis, while a truncated region of  flhB  gene is only found in  S . Pullorum/Gallinarum. The sensitivity and specificity of the multiplex PCR assay using three pairs of specific primers for these genes were evaluated. The results showed that this multiplex PCR method could accurately identify  Salmonella  Enteritidis, Pullorum/Gallinarum, and Dublin from eight non- Salmonella  species and 27  Salmonella  serovars. The least concentration of genomic DNA that could be detected was 58.5 pg/μL and the least number of cells was 100 CFU. Subsequently, this developed method was used to analyze clinical  Salmonella  isolates from one pig farm, one chicken farm, and one cattle farm. The results showed that blinded PCR testing of  Salmonella  isolates from the three farms were in concordance with the traditional serotyping tests, indicating the newly developed multiplex PCR system could be used as a novel tool to accurately distinguish the three specific  Salmonella  serovars individually, which is useful, especially in high-throughput screening.
