M achado , J. & B ernardo , F. 1990. Prevalence of Salmonella in chicken carcasses in Portugal. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 69 , 477–480. During 1986–87 57% of 300 chicken carcasses yielded salmonellas where tested by a swabbing method. Serotypes isolated were Salmonella enteritidis (66%), Salm. agona (12%), Salm. newport (6%), Salm. saintpaul (6%), Salm. derby (4%), Salm. typhimu‐rium (3%), Salm. bardo (1%), Salm. ohio (1%) and untypable (2%). The results are compared with those of avian and human salmonellosis registered in Portugal during the same period.
