%0 Journal Article %T DETERMINATION OF MICROBIOLOGICAL QUALITY AND PRESENCE OF SALMONELLA SPP. ON CHICKEN PARTS SOLD AT RETAIL MARKETS IN ERZURUM, ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE OF THE SALMONELLA SPP. ISOLATES %A Mehmet Y¨¹KSEL %J - %D 2019 %X The present study was conducted to investigate the certain microbiological quality characteristics, and presence of Salmonella spp. by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and conventional method, also to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of Salmonella spp. isolates obtained from 45 chicken meat samples (fifteen livers, chests, baguettes) collected from markets at the Erzurum. Totally, in the 15 samples were found positive for Salmonella spp. by IMS and conventional methods. Isolates were identified with 99.9% probability using API 20E biochemical analysis kit. The results of antibiotic test showed the susceptibility of the isolates to ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol and gentamicin at 100% level, while these isolates were resistance to tetracycline, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, ampicillin and kanamycin, respectively. The obtained results showed that 84% (38/45) of the chicken meat samples did not show suitability with Turkish Food Codex in terms of total bacteria count and presence of Salmonella in 33% (15/45) of the samples %K Tavuk etleri %K mikrobiyolojik kalite %K Salmonella spp. %K immunomanyetik separasyon %K antibiyotik diren£¿ %U http://dergipark.org.tr/gida/issue/46722/452101
