| Abstract | ||
| Salmonella, members of the family Enterobactreciea, are the most dangerous of the pathogenic microorganisms in the intestinal tracts and are responsible for the occurrence of a significant number of food-borne diseases throughout the world for a great many people. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in retail luncheon meat, microscopically, bacteriologically, and biochemically examination, serotyping of Salmonella isolates for detection, and the identification of Salmonella spp < /em>. in luncheon samples. Out of 40 luncheon meat samples, three were positively identified as Salmonella, with a prevalence of 7.5 % (3/40). Salmonella isolates were serologically identified as S. Typhimurium. All confirmed Salmonella isolates exhibited red colonies with a black center on XLD agar. Catalase, methyl-red, citrate utilization, lysine, ornithine, and H2S generation tests were positive in all isolates and negative for indole, oxidase, Voges-Proskauer, and urease and Salmonella have the ability to ferment glucose, mannitol, and xylose. | ||
