RESUMO
In this work, the serotypes of Salmonella genus polluting the waters of Lujan River, situated in the north east of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, were studied. A total of 690 samples of water were collected and analysed from February 1988 through December 1989, at three different sites. They were obtained according to the Moore technique and then preenriched in buffered peptone water and enriched in Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soya peptone broth was carried out. The isolations were realised in brilliant green-desoxycholate agar and bismuth sulphite agar and the presumptive colonies to be Salmonella were tested by the standard biochemical identification. Salmonella spp. was isolated in 434 samples (62.9%). The predominant serotype was S. Anatum, followed in a decreasing order by S. Montevideo, S. Newport and S. Bredeney. A large amount of serotypes that are isolated with very low frequency and very rarely in other hidric courses in the country were: S. Westhampton, S. Poona and S. Saintpaul were found.

Two groups of 6 laying hens were used to produce IgY. In the vaccinated group (V), hens were injected by intramuscular route with two doses of a Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis bacterin at 20-day interval. In the control group (T) hens remained unvaccinated. Four IgY extractions were performed on the egg production of both groups. The first two extractions were carried out using the yolks obtained from the eggs produced during the 4th and 5th post-vaccination week (extracts 1V and 1T) and the other two using the ones from the 6th, 7th and 8th week (2V and 2T). Starting from the extracts 1V and 1T other products were obtained by freezing-thawing (1V-A and 1T-A) and simple (1V-B and 1T-B) or double (1V-C and 1T-C) flow capillary dialysis concentration. All these products were compared using an ELISA test specific for the detection of chicken antibodies against flagellar antigens of S. Enteritidis. In this test, V extracts were positive whereas T extracts were negative. The extract 1V was more positive than the extract 2V. The extract 1V-C was the most positive and was therefore selected to be used as an antiserum in the agglutination tests. This extract contained 1.9 g/dl of total proteins, 0.028 g/dl of triglycerides and 0.012 g/dl of cholesterol and showed an electrophoretic pattern characteristic of IgY. The 1T-C extract was used as a negative control in the agglutination tests. Slide somatic and tube flagellar agglutination tests were simultaneously carried out using both IgY extracts and a standard rabbit anti-Salmonella (IgG) sera. Overall 367 strains from the Enterobacteriaceae family were tested together with two other strains belonging to the Vibrionaceae family. The 1V-C extract specifically agglutinated S. Enteritidis strains in the same way as the rabbit sera. This extract also agglutinated other Salmonella strains antigenically related to S. Enteritidis. Salmonella which did not share somatic or flagellar antigens with S. Enteritidis, other different species of the Enterobacteriaceae family and the two strains of the Vibrionaceae family were all negative. None of the strains tested was agglutinated by the 1T-C extract. This paper show that it is possible to use specific IgY to identify S. enterica serovars. The more extended use of IgY for diagnostic purposes may be a convenient way to complement the current use of mammal polyclonal antibodies.

Para producir extractos de IgY se emplearon dos lotes de 6 gallinas ponedoras cada uno. En el lote vacunado (V) las aves se inocularon por vía intramuscular con dos dosis de una bacterina contra Salmonella enterica serovariedad Enteritidis. En el lote testigo (T) las aves no se vacunaron. Con las yemas de ambos lotes se efectuaron 4 extracciones de IgY. Las dos primeras se realizaron con las yemas de los huevos producidos durante la 4§ y 5§ semana post-vacunación (extractos 1V y 1T) y las otras dos con las de la 6§, 7§ y 8§ semana (2V y 2T). Los extractos 1V y 1T se congelaton y descongelaron (1V-A y 1T-A) y se concentraron por diálisis simple (1V-B y 1T-B) o doble (1V-C y 1T-C). Mediante una prueba de ELISA para detectar antígenos flagelares de S. Enteritidis, los extractos V fueron positivos y los T negativos. El extracto 1V-C fue el más positivo y se seleccionó para realizar las aglutinaciones. Este extracto contenía 1,9 g/dl de proteínas totales y presentó bandas electroforéticas características de IgY. El extracto 1T-C fue usado como control negativo de aglutinación. Emplenado ambos extractos IgY y antisueros policlonales de conejo (IgG) se efectuaron aglutinaciones somáticas en placa y flagelares en tubo. Se estudiaron 357 cepas de S. enterica, 10 cepas de diferentes especies de la familia Enterobacteriaceae y dos cepas de la familia Vibrionaceae. El extracto 1V-C aglutinó a distintas cepas de Salmonella con estructura antigénica somática o flagelar relacionada con la cepa vacunal, mientras que las salmonelas con antígenos diferentes y otras especies de la familia Enterobacteriaceae y Vibrionaceae fueron negativas. Este trabajo demuestra que es posible emplear las IgY para identificar serovariedades de S. enterica

In this paper we report the first case of Salmonella Freetown in Argentina. It was isolated from a stool sample of a child of 1 month and 7 days, assisted as outpatient in the Hospital de Niños Dr. Ricardo Gutiérrez of the city of Santa Fe. On the basis of the biochemical characteristics and antigenic formulae, this new serovar belongs to the species Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica.
