Occurrence and characterization of Salmonella isolates from commercial eggs in Phayao Province, Thailand
This study demonstrates a low occurrence of <i>Salmonella</i> contamination in eggshells across different production systems, with no contamination detected in egg contents. The presence of distinct serovars and genetic types suggests varying contamination sources. Although antimicrobial resistance was minimal, the presence of virulence genes in all isolates highlights the potential risk of infection. Continuous monitoring and improved biosecurity measures in egg production and distribution are recommended to enhance food safety and public health.
