SUMMARY. The present study was conducted to determine the serotype diversity of Salmonella among poultry in northern India. A total of 101 poultry droppings from 30 farms in the Jammu and Kashmir union territory were analyzed. Nineteen isolates of Salmonella were obtained, and these belonged to four serotypes: Salmonella enterica enterica serotype Kentucky (n = 3), Salmonella enterica enterica serotype Infantis (n = 5), Salmonella enterica enterica serotype Agona (n = 4), and Salmonella enterica enterica serotype Typhimurium (n= 7). The study has isolated some Salmonella serotypes that are infrequently reported in India. Some of the isolated serotypes are reported to be endemic for human nontyphoidal salmonellosis cases in the region. Whether this indicates a shift in the serotype pattern in poultry in the region needs to be investigated further. Nevertheless, the study clearly indicates the risk of foodborne salmonellosis associated with consumption of contaminated poultry and poultry products in the region. RESUMEN. Nota de Investigación- ¿Hay un cambio en la diversidad de Salmonella entre las aves comerciales en el norte de la India? El presente estudio se realizó para determinar la diversidad de serotipos de Salmonella entre las aves comerciales en el norte de la India. Se analizaron un total de 101 muestras de heces de aves comerciales de 30 granjas en el territorio de la unión de Jammu y Cachemira. Se obtuvieron diecinueve aislamientos de Salmonella, pertenecientes a cuatro serotipos: Salmonella Kentucky (n = 3), Salmonella Infantis (n = 5), Salmonella Agona (n = 4) y Salmonella Typhimurium (n = 7). El estudio ha aislado algunos serotipos de Salmonella que se reportan con poca frecuencia en la India. Se ha reportado que algunos de los serotipos aislados son endémicos para los casos de salmonelosis no tifoidea en humanos en la región. Debe investigarse más a fondo si esto indica un cambio en el patrón de serotipos en las aves comerciales de la región. Sin embargo, el estudio indica claramente el riesgo de salmonelosis transmitida por los alimentos asociado con el consumo de aves y productos avícolas contaminados en la región.
