The results of isolation of Salmonella spp. and its further serotype identification employing multiplex PCR are presented in Table-2. In brief, on microbiological analysis of 550 samples, 92 samples revealed presumptive Salmonella colonies on XLD agar plate. Further, on biochemical characterization, only 14 samples revealed biochemical profile suggestive of Salmonella genus. All the 14 isolates were TSI positive, urease negative, ONPG negative, indole negative, methyl red positive, Voges Proskauer negative, and Citrate test positive, respectively. All these biochemically confirmed Salmonella isolates were reconfirmed using genus-specific invA gene PCR (Table-2).
