| Abstract | ||
| A total of 130 samples of frozen imported chicken were collected during the period from 2010 to 2011from those submitted to CLQP (Central Laboratory for Veterinary Quality Control on poultry Production. Samples were tested for Salmonella and Campylobacter according to ISO stander isolation methods. The results revealed that Campylobacter was present in 28 samples (21.54%), Salmonella were present in 12 samples (9.23 %), 3 samples (2.3%) were found to be mixed infection with both Campylobacter and Salmonella, and 87samples (66.92 %) were negative for both Campylobacter and Salmonella. Salmonella isolates were serotyped using commercial kit (Sefin Germany) while Campylobacter isolates were typed biochemically. | ||
