A total of 120 random samples of fully and half cooked chicken meat products (60 of each) were
collected from different supermarkets at El- Dakahlyia , El-Kalyobia and El-Gharbia governorates for
isolation of Salmonellae and detection of their antimicrobial sensitivity. The obtained results indicated
that Salmonellae were isolated from the examined samples of chicken nuggets , chicken hot wings,
chicken shawerma (half cooked), chicken luncheon ,chicken frankfurter and chicken shawerma (fully
cooked) with percentages of 25%, 25%, 30%, 0%, 15% and 35%, respectively. Moreover, the isolated
Salmonellae could be serologically identified as S. typhimurium, S. anatum, S. enteritidis, S. kentucky,
S. muenster and S. virchow. Moreover, Salmonellae appeared resistant to Nalidixic acid (100%). In
contrast, Gentamycin had the basic effect on viability of Salmonellae followed by Kanamycin and
Norfloxacin.
