Abstract

The pericardial fluids and contents of caeca and spleens from 81 broiler chickens that had been condemmed at processing factories because of macroscopic pericarditis were examined for Salmonella species. 47 (58%) of these chickens yielded S enteritidis phage type (PT) 4. Viable counts of the organism in fluids from 6 of the most severely affected hearts ranged from 10(4) to 10(7) colony-forming units/ml. S enteridis PT4 was also isolated from 8 of 20 fresh chilled chickens on retail sale. No other serotype of Salmonella or phage type of S enteritidis was cultured either from the chickens with pericarditis or from the fresh chilled chicken.
