Popis: The protection of consumers from emerging Salmonella spp serovars depends on surveillance and control of the pathogen in food producing animals Among them pigs are the second most important species for transmitting emerging Salmonella spp serovars pathogenic to consumers Thus a microbiological investigation of pig salmonellosis was undertaken in Central Greece examining samples collected from multiple carcass sites aiming at the identification of prevalent serovars and their carcass location For this purpose tissue samples and environmental swab samples were cultured following ISO Twelve different serovars were isolated from feacal and tissue samples and two from the environmental samples representing a total of isolates Among the identified serovars were the emerging monophasic Typhimurium serovars S entericasubsp enterica ser i isolates and S enterica subsp enterica ser i isolates the monophasic S entericasubsp enterica ser k isolates and the rarer serovars of subspecies enterica subsp diarizonae k and S enterica subsp houtenae g t one isolate each Of the remaining isolates were serovar Typhimurium six were serovars S Bredeney isolates S Agona S Derby S Infantis S Meleagridis and S Cerro and four were untypeable Although serovar Typhimurium was the most prevalent one isolates the other serovars could also be considered of emerging public health importance due to pork contamination Thus the pig appears in Greece as a possible source of human salmonellosis caused not only by commonly reported serovars but also of rarer ones
