For unknown reasons, Salmonella enterica Kentucky has become the serovar most frequently isolated from chickens and chicken carcasses in the United States. In an attempt to identify traits that may underlie this phenomenon, genetic and physiological features of 30 serovar Kentucky chicken isolates were compared with those of chicken isolates belonging to a range of other S. enterica serovars. Most of the well-known Salmonella virulence genes were detected in the serovar Kentucky isolates by PCR, but the cdtB, spvB, spvC, and pefA genes were not found. The serovar Kentucky isolates were as invasive as the non-Kentucky isolates in in vitro assays involving chicken embryo hepatocytes, but were less invasive than the Enteritidis, Mbandaki, and Typhimurium isolates when incubated with human HCT-8 cells. Statistical comparison of growth, biofilm formation, and stress survival data from the serovar Kentucky and those from the serovar Enteritidis, Hadar, Mbandaka, Senftenberg, Typhimurium, and Worthington isolates demonstrated either no differences or differences with only a few of the serovars; however, three data sets were different. These data sets included the OD(600) values of cultures grown in tryptic soy broth (TSB) adjusted to pH 5.5 with acetic acid and survival counts of cells grown in either TSB pH 7 or TSB adjusted to pH 5.5 with acetic acid and then transferred into TSB adjusted to pH 2.5 with HCl. Most notable was the log(10) reduction for acetic acid pre-exposed Kentucky isolates of 3.1 versus
