Salmonella spp. NA CADEIA PRODUTIVA DE FRANGOS DE CORTE

Abstract

With this literature review we aimed to know the factors of virulence and the possible risks that can affect human health through S. Minnesota and S. Typhimurium. Salmonellosis is one of the most complex zoonoses that affect global public health. The pathogen is found in a wide variety of animal reservoirs, mainly in broilers, in different environments, which explains its high potential for dissemination. The consumption of chicken meat is considered an important risk factor for the occurrence of the disease in humans. By means of a review of the literature, an exploratory research was done of different materials that deals with the proposed subject. The results show that it is of fundamental importance that criteria associated with specific care with birds in the breeding environment, such as the microbiological control of rations made available to the animals, the adoption of hygienic practices in the breeding, to strict hygienic-sanitary measures during slaughter , in the handling and processing of chicken meat. This strict program of cleaning and disinfection of facilities and equipment, and the prevention of cross-contamination, are important measures that help to contain the levels of contamination.
