    Abstract: A total of 139 samples including 29 pork, 21 chicken, 19 beef, 17 mutton, 18 chicken&#146;s egg, 10 duck&#146;s egg, 20 fish and 5 seafood samples were collected from the market in Hebei province of China in 2009-2010. These foods were examined for the presence of Salmonellae by cultural methods and biochemical tests. The isolates were characterized using serotyping testing. The 9 (6.9%) of 139 samples were positive for Salmonella, the most common serovar being <I>Salmonella typhimurium </I>(6/9). The positive rates of eggs, fish, chicken, pork and beef were 11.1 (2), 10 (2), 9.5 (2), 6.9 (1) and 5.3% (1), respectively. <I>Salmonella paratyphi</I> (1) and <I>Salmonella choleraesuis </I>(2) were also isolated. All other products were negative. Results from these studies could form a basis for risk assessment and future interventions which intended to reduce the incidence of Salmonella in Hebei province of China and potential hazards from antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella.
