Salmonellosis and Shigellosis Associated with Cattle Dung Contaminant from Indigenous Abattoirs, Osun State, Nigeria

Indigenous Abattoirs
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.
