The aim of this study was to determine whether Salmonella enteritidis (SE) inoculated into the peritoneal cavity would colonize tissues of reproductive organs in Japanese quail hens. Quail hens regularly laying were intraperitoneally inoculated with 5 x 10(7) or 5 x 10(8) SE cells, and the ovary, oviduct, kidney, spleen, liver, and large intestine were excised 24 or 48 h after the treatment. Paraffin sections of these organs were immunostained for SE. Invasion of SE was found in the tissues of the ovarian stroma, the follicular wall including superficial and theca layers, and occasionally in the granulosa layer and yolk. The SE immunoreaction product frequently was found in the fibroblast-like and macrophage-like cells in the stroma and surface layer of follicles. The SE immunoreaction products were identified on the mucosal surface, in the mucosal epithelium, and in the stromal tissues in all segments of the oviduct. Many of the bacteria were contained in the cytoplasm of mucosal epithelial cells and stromal cells in those tissues. The SE immunoreactions were also found in the tissues of kidney, spleen, and liver and in the large intestine. These results suggest that SE organisms introduced into the peritoneal cavity can invade and colonize the tissues of ovary and oviduct and may be responsible in the production of contaminated eggs.
