Figures & data

Table 1. Salmonella isolates used in this study and their antimicrobial resistance profile.

Figure 1. Mean log10 colony-forming units (CFU)/g (±standard deviation) numbers of salmonella at 3 and 7 days post infection in caecal contents (1a), liver (1b) and spleen (1c) following oral infection with 108 CFU in SPF 8-day-old White Leghorn chickens. Bacterial counts determined by quantification on selective Brilliant Green agar. Data are based on five individually sampled birds for each group per time point. 4/74, S. Typhimurium 4/74; DT193, S. Typhimurium DT193. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with bacterial counts in the 4/74 infected group.
