title: [Report on Salmonella isolates in livestock, food and feed, received at the German national reference laboratory for Salmonella during 2004-2008].
abstract: The German National Reference Laboratory for Salmonella receives Salmonella isolates from diverse laboratories in Germany. Most of the Salmonella strains originated from livestock and food.This report summarizes the studies of the German National Reference Laboratory on the prevalence of Salmonella ssp. in livestock, food and feed for the years 2004-2008. In the past five years, the National Reference Laboratory received 23,949 Salmonella isolates with S. enterica serovar Typhimurium and S. enterica serovar Enteritidis as the most prevalent serovars. In addition, we summarize the incidence of emerging serovars, such as S. enterica serovar Paratyphi B (d-tartrate positive), the monophasic variant of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. enterica subspecies (subsp.) enterica serovar 1,4,[5],12:i:-) and S. enterica subsp. enterica serovar 1,4,12:d:-.
