Table 3 Bacteriological results by sampling date and year and sample type per animal category and per location. C1, C2, C3, C4: corridors in barns A – D respectively, AI: artificial insemination centre (see Fig. 1). Sample types: S/D/P: combined sock sample, dust wipe and pooled faecal sample from the same compartment, S/D: sock sample and dust wipe from the same compartment or corridor, S: sock sample, . or -: not done. Bacteriological results for combined samples per compartment or corridor are presented as xxx/xxx/xxx or xxx/xxx, results of separate compartments are separated by, (comma). *: significant decrease since previous high number of positive samples (Fisher exact test, P < 0.05), #: significant increase since previous low number of positive samples (Fisher exact test, P < 0.05), field = S. Typhimurium field strain, ST = undifferentiated S. Typhimurium., group C = Salmonella enterica serogroup C isolate, vac = Salmoporc® vaccine strain, neg = negative
