Prevalence of Salmonella spp. in pet turtles and their environment
Pet turtles are known as a source of Salmonella infection to humans when handled in captivity. Thirty four turtles purchased from pet shops and online markets in Korea were examined to determine whether the turtles and their environment were contaminated with Salmonella spp. Salmonella spp. were isolated from fecal samples of 17 turtles.

متن کاملSalmonella in free-living exotic and native turtles and in pet exotic turtles from SW Spain.
We screened 78 native and 94 exotic turtles from natural ponds and 39 exotic pet turtles for presence of Salmonella, resulting with infection rates of 6.61%, 6.4%, and 5.1%, respectively. Concurrent shedding of multiple serotypes of the bacteria was only detected in one pet turtle. Eleven isolates were obtained in free-living turtles, including serotypes commonly found in reptiles and also the ...
متن کاملQuinolone susceptibility and genetic characterization of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica isolated from pet turtles
Turtle-borne Salmonella enterica owns significance as a leading cause in human salmonellosis. The current study aimed to determine the quinolone susceptibility and the genetic characteristics of 21 strains of S. enterica subsp. enterica isolated from pet turtles. Susceptibility of four antimicrobials including nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin was examined in disk diffu...
متن کاملEvaluation of methods for isolating Salmonella and Arizona organisms from pet turtles.
Two methods for isolating Salmonella and Arizona organisms from turtles, blending and excretion, were evaluated, and the percentage of isolates obtained by each method was compared with the percentage of isolates obtained by culture of turtle organs. The blending and excretion methods were equally effective in detecting the overall incidence of Salmonella and Arizona infections in turtles. The ...
متن کاملEvaluation of methods for the isolation of Salmonella and Arizona organisms from pet turtles treated with antimicrobial agents.
Turtles infected with and actively excreting Salmonella-Arizona organisms were treated with various concentrations of both Neo-Terramycin (N-Te) and Terramycin (Te) (Pfizer) for various periods of time and then tested for the presence of these pathogens by two methods, excretion and blending. Turtles treated with 200 mug of Te per ml of container water for 9, 12, or 14 weeks, whereas when repr...
