Serological identification was applied to the isolates, which were confirmed as Salmonella by biotyping and RT-PCR. Serotyping was performed by using O- and H- group specific antigens, according to the White-Kauffmann-Le Minor Scheme (Grimont and Weill, 2007), Guibourdenche et al. (2010) and Issenhuth-Jeanjean et al. (2014) using commercial antisera (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Slide agglutination test was utilized for the analysis of somatic antigens, while the flagellar phase antigens were assessed by using the tube agglutination test.
