(2) Serotyping of the isolated Salmonella species and identifying the prevalent serotypes causing food poisoning with a special concern to (Salmonella enteritidis).(3) Evaluation of the role of ELISA in detection of Salmonella enteritidis antibodies.(4) Throwing light on antimicrobial sensitivity for strains of Salmonella enteritidis.Our study included the following:A total of 567 samples were collected represented in: -Fourty eight stool samples from patients suffering from symptoms of food poisoning which were diarrhoea, fever and some of them were having vomiting).
