Abstract

As a reference laboratory for Salmonella, specimens or cultures are routinely received by Research Institute for Veterinary Science (RIVS), Bogor for Salmonella serotyping. Between 1989 - 1996, 2,196 Salmonella isolates from West Java, East Java, Lampung, South Kalimantan and Bogor were serotyped. These isolates originated from human (51), chickens (828), ducks (233), eggs (219), pigs (95), cattle (59), animal feed (66), litter (169), water (209), fluff (56) and other sources (211). The ten serotypes most commonly typed were S. hadar 299 (13.61 %); S. typhimurium 227 (10.01 %); S. ouakam 168 (7.65 %); S. blockley 144 (6.55 %); S. amsterdam 108 (4.91 %); S. virchow 90 (4.09 %); S. enteritidis 87 (3.96 %); S. senftenberg 77 (3.50 %); S. livingstone 75 (3.41 %); S. derby 73 (3.32 %) and other serotypes 536 (24.40%). This report aims to share information on Salmonella serotypes found in different parts of Indonesia between April 1989 - March 1996.
