Abstract
This overview summarizes the main salmonella serotypes in 1997 from li vestock in Belgium. Typhimurium and Dublin were the most frequently fo und serotypes in cattle, whereas mainly Typhimurium was isolated from pigs. In poultry Enteritidis and Radar were the most prevalent serotyp es, although the number of serotypes. Radar strains was found to be de creasing in comparison,vith previous years. The resistance profiles of serotypes Typhimurium isolates suggested that the highly pathogenic l ysotype DT104 was widely spread among livestock in Belgium. Almost all serotypes enteritidis strains were sensitive against all antimicrobia l agents tested.
