The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) have contacted AIC in relation to a large increase in isolations of Group B Salmonella on poultry farms in Great Britain. Because Group B salmonellae include the regulated serotypes Salmonella Typhimurium and monophasic Typhimurium, this identification leads to restrictions on eggs and delays in birds being sent to slaughter until serotyping is complete.
