    abstract = {In this study, we investigated the occurrence of <I>Salmonella </I>species in chicken lives sold in supermarkets and butcheries in Gaborone, Botswana.One hundred and fourteen livers were cultured for <I>Salmonella</I> and the isolates were identified biochemically and serologically.  Overall, 35% (40/114) of the livers were positive for <I>Salmonella typhimurium</I> as the sore serovar identified.  This <I>Salmonella </I>serotype has commonly been implicated as a cause of foodborne infections which can be severe in individuals that are immunocompromised such as those with HIV/AIDS.  We conclude that there is a need to institute/enforce guidelines and laws to ensure hygienic practices in the production, slaughtering, processing and storage of poultry products in Botswana.}
