The Danish serological Salmonellasurveillance program inpigs identifies farms with a medium to high level of Salmonellainfection. To characterize this Salmonellainfection further, vet-erinarians are required to collect 20 pen fecal samples in eachfarm. Before February 17, 2003, one Salmonellaisolate per pos-itive fecal sample was serotyped and tested for antimicrobial sus-ceptibility and S. Typhimurium phage typed. After February 17,2003, 20 pen fecal samples were still collected, but at the labo-ratory, samples were pooled four and four, resulting in five pooledsamples. Only one Salmonella-suspect colony from the fivepooled samples was serotyped. If S. Typhimurium was detected,the isolate was also phage typed and tested for antimicrobial sus-ceptibility. In addition, all Salmonella-suspected colonies weretested for chloramphenicol resistance to screen for DT104. If theSalmonella-suspect colonies were resistant to chloramphenicol,one isolate from each positive pooled samples was sero- andphage typed and susceptibility tested.
