Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the detection capacity of the Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method from non-selective pre-enrichment samples (using target sequences of InvA, fliC and prot6E genes) to diagnose Salmonella Typhimurium and Enteritidis and to determine the concordance between the conventional microbiological detection method which consist of non-selective pre-enrichment, selective enrichment, differential agar isolation and biochemical tests. A total of 111 liver samples from Guinea pigs with presumptive diagnosis of salmonellosis, collected in Chancay (Lima) and El Mantaro (Junín), Peru were analyzed. Salmonella Typhimurium was detected by multiplex PCR in 54% (60/111) of the samples and by microbiological analysis in 41% (45/111). A substantial concordance was found with a Kappa value of 0.64. The McNemar test showed that the results of both tests were statistically different (p<0.05).

Bibliographical note
Funding Information:La toma de muestras se llevó a cabo en la estación experimental «El Mantaro» del Instituto Veterinario de Investigaciones de Trópico y Altura (IVITA) de la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (FMV-UNMSM) (Jauja, Perú), y en un criadero de crianza comercial en Chancay(Huaral,Perú). El pro-cesamiento de las muestras se llevó a cabo en el laboratorio de Genética y Biología Molecular de la FMV-UNMSM en Lima. Ambas etapas se ejecutaron entre octubre de 2015 y abril de 2016.
