The prevalence and antimicrobial sensitivity of Salmonella spp. in stray dogs in Bursa province, Turkey were determined from a total of 82 faecal samples by bacteriological methods. Of the dogs, nine (11%) were positive for salmonellae-carrying. All Salmonella isolates were serotyped as S. Corvallis, and were sensitive to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, enrofloxacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, neomycin, oxytetracycline and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole, while 66.7% of them were resistant to streptomycin. It was concluded that stray dogs could be an important carrier of salmonellae as well as a source of human salmonellosis in Turkey. Additional studies are needed to clarify the epidemiological relationship between S. Corvallis isolated from dogs and humans with regard to public health. This is the first report on the isolation of S. Corvallis from dogs in the country.
通过细菌学方法，对土耳其布尔萨省82份流浪狗粪便样本进行检测，以确定沙门氏菌属的流行情况及其对抗菌药物的敏感性。其中，9只（11%）狗的粪便样本沙门氏菌检测呈阳性。所有分离出的沙门氏菌均为科瓦利斯沙门氏菌，对阿莫西林/克拉维酸、氨苄青霉素、头孢噻吩、氯霉素、恩诺沙星、庆大霉素、卡那霉素、萘啶酸、新霉素、土霉素和甲氧苄啶/磺胺甲恶唑敏感，而66.7%的菌株对链霉素耐药。研究得出结论，在土耳其，流浪狗可能是沙门氏菌的重要携带者以及人类沙门氏菌病的传染源。需要进一步研究以阐明从狗身上分离出的科瓦利斯沙门氏菌与人类之间在公共卫生方面的流行病学关系。这是该国首次关于从狗身上分离出科瓦利斯沙门氏菌的报告。
