ABSTRACT
Background@#We aimed to study the etiology and transmission route of diseases introducing the modern, rapid and high-sensitivity molecular genetic diagnostic methods for salmonellosis.@*Material and Method@#In the study, we collected 680 stool samples and defined organisms of food intoxication by identification of bacteria, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and determined serotype and antibiotic resistance.@*Result@#Salmonella spp was detected from the stool of 25 (42.3%) patients out of 59 outpatient clinic and of 170 (27.4%) patients out of 621 inpatient clinic with diagnosis of food intoxication. In total there was detected 195 salmonella spp, and out of this isolated Sal. typhimurum in 193 (98.9%), and Sal. enteritidis was in 2 (1.1%) patients, respectively. We defined Sal. typhimurum in selected 32 cultures and did not detect resistant gene DT-104 ACS-SuT by PCR.@*Conclusion@#As resulted in the survey, we defined 195 (28,6) Salmonella typhimurum among the 680 patients who were suffered from food intoxication, and revealed fast foods, animal derived foods such as chicken, fish caused the food intoxication. Sal. typhimurium not resistance to antibiotics.
