Oral infection of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) strains, SE No.15, SE No.26, and SE No.56, isolated from poultry farms was performed with specific pathogen-free (SPF) 1-day-old chicks and 6 weeks-old BALB/c mice. SE No.15 showed the strongest lethality to both chicks and mice, and SE...
