Abstract


Keywords:
Salmonella, Serotype, invA gene, Frog.

This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella, serogrouping and presence of invA gene (Salmonella Invasion Gene A) of Salmonella strains obtained from Hoplobatrachus occipitalis in Côte d’Ivoire. A total of 210 fresh and 384 smoked frogs from three local market were evaluated for the presence of Salmonella. Biochemical identification, serotyping test and detection of invA gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were performed. The results obtained indicate that all 384 smoked frog was not contaminated by Salmonella sp. while, 11.4% of fresh frog were positive for Salmonella. There was no significant difference between the contamination rate according to sites (P>0.05). The serotyping results obtained show that isolated strains belong to four serotypes and the most dominant serotype was Salmonella lindenburg (55.5%). PCR reaction showed that 86.7% of the Salmonella possessed invA gene. The presence of Salmonella in edible frog indicates that there is a health risk for consumers and this requires monitoring in order to minimize the risk of contamination to members of the public.
