Abstract
Surveys in Vermont have indicated relaxed biosafety practices between hobby poultry owners and their flock(s). Samplings of chick shipments arriving in Vermont were performed to determine Salmonella enterica carriage in these birds. The Vermont Department of Health performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) to type and assess the clinical relevance of isolated bacteria (n=42). The most abundant serotype was Enteritidis (22), which is commonly associated with live poultry. Close relatedness of clinical and chick-derived S. enterica was detected; luckily, low levels of antimicrobial resistance were observed. WGS was a valuable tool used to evaluate this hazard of poultry ownership in Vermont.
