  Salmonellosis is a major public health problem, especially with the emergence of multi-resistant Salmonella. The healthy carrier, an important factor of dissemination of Salmonella in the environment ensures inter-human transmission, especially in children. In Senegal, studies on (carrying Salmonella are lacking. Thus, this work was (was conducted) to determine the (carrying rate of Salmonella), characterize phenotypically and genotypically Salmonella strains isolated from healthy carriers in Dakar. This is a prospective study of five community sites (Jeddah Thiaroye Kao, Guinaw Rail South, North Pikine, Pikine East Guinaw North Rail) between January 2013 and April 2014. Phenotypic and molecular analysis PCR detection simplex virulence genes and typing by Multi-Locus Sequence Typing were performed at the Experimen.. View more»
