The potential relationship between Salmonella infection in wild birds and pigs was investigated. Feces from pigs, wild
birds, and bird droppings or other environmental samples from 25 finishing farms were cultured for Salmonella isolation.
In 17 (68%) farms Salmonella was isolated. Out of 57 Salmonella isolates found, 32 (56.1%) were Typhimurium. In 6
(24%) farms the same Salmonella serotype was isolated from samples from different origins and similar AR and PFGE
patterns were found, which would support the existence of a transmission cycle of Salmonella infection between birds and
pigs in this area. Preventing bird access to farm premises is highly recommended
