我们提出了第一例记录的人类肠道沙门氏菌血清型阿帕帕感染，同时从医院住院病人和宠物蜥蜴分离。分离物是相同的生化分析和脉冲场凝胶电泳。这种罕见的血清型已知与爬行动物有关。目前的做法，以避免爬行动物相关的感染进行审查。
We present the first documented human case of Salmonella enterica serovar Apapa infection, isolated concurrently from a hospital inpatient and a pet lizard. The isolates were identical by biochemical profiling and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. This rare serotype is known to be associated with reptiles. The current practice for avoiding reptile-associated infections is reviewed.
