title: Survey for Salmonellae in porcine bile and cecums and on equipment surfaces in an Ohio abattoir.
abstract: Porcine bile samples and cecal swabbings and environmental swabbings collected from an abattoir in Columbus, Oh, were examined for salmonellae. Of 40 cecal swabbings, 6 were culture-positive for Salmonella choleraesuis and 2 of 25 swabbings of surfaces that were in contact with edible products were culture-positive for Salmonella typhimurium. All of 500 bile samples were Salmonella-free.
