120 chicken thighs samples (60 fresh chicken thighs samples - 60
frozen chicken thighs sample) were collected from different
commercial shops in Hama city.
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of salmonella in the
bowels of the broiler carcass in poultry slaughterhouses in southern Syrian
governorates. 216 random samples of giblets included liver, spleen, heart and
gizzard) collected
weekly during March and September of 2011 from small
slaughterhouses in southern governorates were incubated in buffered peptone
water, selinite broth, Salmonella-Shigella agar and Hikton agar media. The
suspected colonies were subjected for staining and microscopically
examination. as well as to biochemical tests.
The objective of this investigation was the Identification of Salmonella spp.
isolated from white cheese (traditional processed from sheep milk) and classify
it by using API 20E and PCR techniques.
80 samples of white cheese (traditional processed
from sheep milk) were
collected from different locations in Syria.
According to PCR technique, 17 samples gave positive result for salmonella
meaning that 21.25 % did not match the levels of the Syrian Standardization
and Metrology (S.S.M.).
According to API 20E technique, the dominat type of Salmonella was
Salmonella Arizona (47%), followed by Salmonella typhim (23.61 %),
Salmonella paratyphi (17.6 %) and Salmonella spp. (11.76 %).
Results showed that samples from local cheese positive for Salmonella were
much more than samples from Akkawi cheese.
The results showed that the PCR technique is fast and accurate and can be
used to Identify Salmonella in cheese.
This study was carried out to detect the presence of aero-mesophyllic
microorganisms and the patho-toxicogenic microorganisms in the consumed
variety meats of Awassi-sheep carcasses.
Surface cut samples of the tested organs with ١٢ cm٢ and ٢ mm in
thickness,
were taken immediately from animals slaughtered in the slaughterhouse or in
the commercial public market, where these consumable variety meats are sold.
