Abstract

The phage typing of 3900 isolates of Salmonella Enteritidis and 1741 isolates of Salmonella Typhimurium has been carried out in the period 1995-2009. Among Salmonella Enteritidis in individual years, the most prevalent phage type (PT) was 8. The most predominant PTs of Salmonella Typhimurium were DT104 and U302.
