从2000年11月至2002年7月，对宠物店出售的112份宠物爬行动物粪便样本进行了沙门氏菌检测，其中包括18只海龟、71只蜥蜴和23条蛇。在日本沙门氏菌从112份样品中分离出83株（74.1%），共112株沙门氏菌被鉴定为I至IV亚种。大多数分离物（62.5%）属于亚种I，54个分离物可被鉴定为28个血清型中的任何一个。优势血清型为S。巴尔多，S.纽波特和S.巴拿马，导致人类沙门氏菌病。这些结果表明，宠物爬行动物可能是日本人沙门氏菌病的潜在传染源。
From November 2000 to July 2002, 112 fecal samples from pet reptiles, including 18 turtles, 71 lizards and 23 snakes, sold at a pet shop were examined for the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in Japan. Salmonella spp. were isolated from 83 (74.1%) of 112 samples, and a total of 112 Salmonella isolates were identified as subspecies I to IV. The majority of isolates (62.5%) belonged to subspecies I and 54 isolates could be identified as any of 28 serovars. The predominant serovars were found to be S. Bardo, S. Newport and S. Panama, which cause human salmonellosis. These results indicate that pet reptiles may be a potential infectious source of human salmonellosis in Japan.
