Incidence of Salmonella Infection in Rats in Calcutta
نویسنده
چکیده
Review of literature.?In England and America rats have been incriminated as important reservoirs of salmonella organisms. Savage and Read (1913) examined the liver, spleen, focces and heart-blood of 41 rats and isolated five strains of Salmonella enteritidis. Savage and White (1923) isolated six strains of the same organism from the liver, heart-blood and intestinal content of 96 rats. Kerrin (1928) made cultures of spleen and liver of 100 rats and isolated 11 strains of S. enteritidis. Recently Khalil (1938) in a more extended series isolated 45 strains of S. enteritidis, 40 strains of S. typhi murium, three strains of S. neurport and one strain of S. thompson, respectively, from 750 rats. In America, Meyer and Matsumura (1927) examined 775 rats and isolated 28 strains
