RESUMO
272 isolates of Salmonella Enteritidis (111 isolated from frozen broiler chicken carcasses, 126 from human food and other biological materials involved in food poisoning outbreaks and 35 from different poultry materials) were selected for phage typing. From these, 111 were phage typed, 57.65 percent being classified as phage type 4, 32.43 percent as phage type 4a, 3.60 percent as phage type 6a and 0.90 percent as phage type 7, whereas 5.40 percent samples were not phage typeable. The predominance of phage type 4 is in agreement with the results published worldwide, and reinforces the need for studies related to the epidemiological meaning of these findings:
