Incidence of Salmonella spp. in raw vegetables in Selangor, Malaysia

A total of 43 samples of ‘selom’ (Oenanthe stolonifera), 26 samples of ‘pegaga’ (Centella asiatica), 25 samples of ‘kangkong’ (Ipomoea aquatica) and 18 samples of ‘kesum’ (Polygonum minus) were examined for the presence of Salmonella spp. Salmonellae were detected from 40 (35%) of the vegetables sam...
