prevalence and serovar distribution of salmonella in fresh and frozen meat from captive nile crocodiles (crocodylus niloticus). | salmonella was isolated from 6 of 20 (30.0%) samples of fresh meat, and from 28 of 140 (20.0%) samples of frozen meat processed for human consumption from captive nile crocodiles (crocodylus niloticus) in zimbabwe. salmonella enterica isolates showed a serovar distribution of 41.2% (14/34) subsp. enterica, 11.8% (4/34) subsp. salamae and 41.2% (14/34) subsp. diarizonae. analyses of fresh meat samples yielded aeromonas (a. hydrophila) in 18 of 20 samples (90%), and a mean aerobic plate count (apc ... | 1996 | 8722192 |
