Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Development and application of a new approach to serotyping Salmonella enterica subspecies I called dkgB-linked intergenic sequence ribotyping (ISR) is presented. Application to three production systems in South America is shown. The low cost and rapid turn around time associated with ISR in comparison to the conventional method known as the Kauffman-White-Le Minor (KWL) scheme is demonstrated. The impact of the method is that it facilitates more frequent testing of farm environments for the presence of the serotypes of Salmonella most often associated with food borne illness.
