The aim of the study was to find out the serotype distribution of 169 Salmonella colonies recovered from 112 Salmonella positive ground turkey (115 colonies) and 52 turkey meat parts (54 colonies). Out of 15 Salmonella serotypes: S. Corvallis, S. Kentucky, S. Bredeney, S. Virchow, S. Saintpaul and S. Agona were identified as the predominant serovars at the rates of 27%, 13%, 12%, 12%, 11%, and 10%, respectively. Other serotypes were below 6% of the total isolates. All S. Kentucky and S. Virchow and most of the S. Corvallis (39/46) and S. Heidelberg (9/9) serotypes were recovered from ground turkey. The results indicate that turkey ground meat and meat parts were contaminated with quite distinct Salmonella serotypes. This is the first study reporting Salmonella serotype distribution in turkey meat and S. Corvallis as predominant serotype in poultry meat in Turkey.
本研究旨在调查从 112 份沙门氏菌阳性火鸡肉（115 株）和 52 份火鸡肉块（54 株）中分离出的 169 株沙门氏菌的血清型分布情况。在 15 种沙门氏菌血清型中，S. Corvallis、S. Kentucky、S. Bredeney、S. Virchow、S. Saintpaul 和 S. Agona 分别以 27%、13%、12%、12%、11%和 10%的比例成为主要血清型。其他血清型的比例均低于总分离株的 6%。所有 S. Kentucky 和 S. Virchow 以及大多数 S. Corvallis（39/46）和 S. Heidelberg（9/9）血清型均来自火鸡肉。结果表明，火鸡肉和火鸡肉块受到了截然不同的沙门氏菌血清型污染。这是首次报道土耳其火鸡肉中沙门氏菌血清型分布情况的研究，也是首次报道 S. Corvallis 是土耳其禽肉中主要的血清型。
