Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salm. Typhimurium) live vaccine strain Zoosaloral H was characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Each of the two suitable restriction enzymes, XbaI and SpeI, produced a unique restriction fragment pattern for this live vaccine strain which was not shared by field isolates of the same serovar. The characteristic fragment pattern proved to be stable during a 22 month observation period and was also not altered after animal passage of the vaccine strains. Thus PFGE analysis proved to be a helpful tool in the identification of Salm. Typhimurium live vaccine strain Zoosaloral H and its differentiation from wild-type isolates of the same serovar.
