Abstract:
From 2000 to 2001, nine strains of Salmonella enterica belonging to the new serotype Keurmassar
have been isolated from human and poultry samples at the Senegalese National Salmonella and
Shigella Reference Laboratory at the Pasteur Institute, in Dakar. All strains carried virulence
factors including Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands (SPI)-1, -2, -3 and -5 encoded genes. Strains
did not harbour virulence plasmid. Ribotyping analysis revealed a single clone identical to
Salmonella Decatur isolated in Zimbabwe. These data suggest that strains are closely related,
and may have been spread clonally. In this new serotype, insertion sequence IS200 is not present.
