Faecal shedding
of cattle as well as poultry and poultry products have been implicated as a
major source of Salmonella infections in humans.
We sourced to
isolate and identify Salmonella and Shigella species from cattle dung in
different abattoir of Ile-Ife, Nigeria and to detect the route of cross-contamination
of Salmonella and Shigella from animals to humans with antibiotic
susceptibility of the isolates recovered.
All 40 samples
taken were collected from the dung of freshly killed cows which were placed
within sterile plastic containers and transported to the Microbiology
Laboratory.
