Abstract

Salmonella is considered as one of the most important foodborne zoonotic pathogens that can cause several foodborne diseases and is commonly associated with consumption of meats. Contaminated pork and pork products are major sources of human Salmonella infections in many countries. It is important to investigate and monitor the epidemiology of Salmonella in pork for public health and pork productivity. Here, we describe the method for isolation and identification of Salmonella from pork.
