Abstract:
From 2000 to 2001, nine strains ofSalmonella entericabelonging to the new serotype Keurmassar
have been isolated from human and poultry samples at the Senegalese NationalSalmonellaandShigellaReference Laboratory at the Pasteur Institute, in Dakar. All strains carried virulence
factors includingSalmonellaPathogenicity Islands (SPI)-1, -2, -3 and -5 encoded genes. Strains
did not harbour virulence plasmid. Ribotyping analysis revealed a single clone identical toSalmonellaDecatur 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.
