Microbiological control of Salmonella SPP in meat for human consumption

Abstract

Salmonella spp. belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. Salmonella enterica sub. enterica is the one that causes the most problems in terms of Public Health, as it includes the serotypes with the greatest infectious potential and that are easily transmitted to humans by the ingestion of contaminated animal products.[1-,6] Of the many particularities it presents, the most prominent is the ubiquitous being.[4:7-,9] It has the capacity to survive in different media, being distributed in Nature.[10,11] Through the food chain it manages to infect all domestic and wild animals. Some of these animals, namely birds and others for human consumption, will constitute the main reservoir of Salmonella spp., not Typhi, and can later be transmitted to humans.[7,10,12-16]
