Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of sdiA and its two dependent virulence genes, rck and srgE, among Salmonella serotypes isolated from different sources. A total of 60 Salmonella serotypes from various sources were used. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was carried out for the presence of these genes using specific primers. SdiA was present in all isolates, and the prevalence of rck and srgE genes were 38.3 % (23/60) and 91.6 % (55/60), respectively. The results revealed that the distribution of rck and srgE genes were dissimilar among these serotypes. SdiA gene could be used as a suitable target for detection of Salmonella spp. by PCR. Many of the human pathogenic Salmonella strains which can be transmitted by animals may have these sdiA regulons showing resistance to complement system of their host that might be harmful for public health.
