Detection was based on ISO 6579:2002 and confirmed by PCR and qPCR. The isolates were typified using slide agglutination tests and PFGE. The antibiotic sensitivity profile was determined using the disk diffusion method. Contamination was detected in only one slaughterhouse. The overall frequency of contamination by Salmonella spp. was 6.7% of carcasses (6/90) and 2.6% of carcass surface samples (7/270). All isolates were confirmed by PCR and qPCR. The serological analysis and the PFGE showed a single profile: Typhimurium. The strains demonstrated 100% susceptibility to ampicillin, cefotaxime, ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin and tetracycline. Positive carcasses after cooling pose a direct risk to consumers, since the meat is considered ready to be marketed after this process.  aAntibiotic resistance  aBrazil  aCattle  aCooling  aSalmonellosis  aSerotypes  aSkinning  aSlaughterhouses  aBovino  aCarcaça  aResfriamento  aSalmonella spp  aSalmonelose  aAbatedouro-frigorífico  aCarcaça bovina  aCarne bovina  aResistência a antibiótico  aSorotipo1 aKICH, J.
