Distribution of virulence genes sefC, pefA and spvC in Salmonella Enteritidis phage type 4 strains isolated in Brazil Distribuição de genes de virulência sefC, pefA e spvC em cepas de Salmonella Enteritidis fago tipo 4 isoladas no Brasil

The distribution of virulence genes, sefC, pefA and spvC, was investigated in 110 Salmonella Enteritidis phage type 4 strains by polymerase chain reaction. Their influence in the caecal colonization and invasion of liver and spleen of one-day-old chickens was studied. Eight isolates were negative fo...
