Abstract:
1.7% among cows’ feces, dairy farm sewage, pooled raw milk, milk container swabs, milkers’
stool, and milkers’ hand swab samples, respectively. Six serovars were detected with
the dominancy of S. Uganda (39.3%), followed by S. enterica subsp. diarizonae (25.0%)
and S. Typhimurium (21.4%). Among the 28 NTS isolates, 100% and 21.4% had the virulence
genes invA and spvC, respectively. The susceptibility profile showed that 89.3% of the
NTS isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent and 46.4% were resistant to
