The 32 st:rains of salmonella isolated belonged to 16 different serotypes and these included a few very rarely occurring serotypes like S. adelaide, S. barendrup, S. chingola, S. cerro, S. nchanga, S. oslo and S. mbandaka. Three serotypes namely, S. barendrup, S. emek and S. adelaide were isolated from fresh as well as frozen
