Abstract
Aim:
This study aimed at determining the serotypes, antimicrobial
profiles, and public health importance of Salmonella
strains from camels slaughtered at Maiduguri central abattoir,
Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: Two hundred samples were obtained from
camel comprising of intestines, feces, liver, and spleen (n=50
each). Non-lactose fermenting dark center Salmonella
colonies were identified using standard biochemical techniques,
serotyped and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility test using
minimum inhibition concentration method.
Results: Out of the 200 samples collected,
17 were Salmonella positive (spleen=7, intestine=6,
feces=3, and liver=1) with a prevalence of 8.5%. Five serotypes
comprising Salmonella Eko, 7 (3.5%), Salmonella
Uganda, 4 (2.0%), Salmonella Amager, 2 (1.0%),
Salmonella Westhampton, 2 (1.0%), and Salmonella Give,
2 (1.0%) were incriminated. Majority of the serotypes were
sensitive to the antimicrobials, but one Salmonella Amager
exhibited resistance to streptomycin, and one each of
Salmonella Uganda and Salmonella Eko were resistant to
sulfamethoxazole.
Conclusion: This study revealed the prevalence and the
antibiotic resistance profile of newly emerging Salmonella
from camels in the northeast of Nigeria, which can serve as a
means for the transmission of Salmonella to human.
Therefore, there is a need for the establishment of national
Salmonella surveillance and control programs.
Keywords: abattoir, antimicrobial
profiles, camel, Nigeria, Salmonella serotypes, public
health.
