Two blue and gold macaw (Ara ararauna) chicks died of fatal salmonellosis in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The birds were histopathologically and microbiologically examined. Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium was isolated from the liver, spleen, heart, lung, kidney, and intestine of both birds. All strains were susceptible to ampicillin, cephalothin, cefotaxime, enrofloxacin, nalidixic acid, gentamicin, streptomycin, chloramphenicol, fosfomycin, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The XbaI-PFGE profile of the Salmonella Typhimurium isolated from the two animals, which shared the same cage, was identical and showed a unique pattern compared with 301 isolates included in the PulseNet national database of Salmonella pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns. This is the first report that describes fatal cases of salmonellosis from blue and gold macaws.
在阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯省，两只蓝黄金刚鹦鹉（Ara ararauna）雏鸟死于致命的沙门氏菌病。对这些鸟类进行了组织病理学和微生物学检查。从两只鸟的肝脏、脾脏、心脏、肺、肾脏和肠道中分离出肠炎沙门氏菌肠炎亚种鼠伤寒血清型。所有菌株对氨苄青霉素、头孢噻吩、头孢噻肟、恩诺沙星、萘啶酸、庆大霉素、链霉素、氯霉素、磷霉素、四环素、呋喃妥因和甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑敏感。从同笼饲养的两只动物中分离出的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的XbaI-PFGE图谱相同，与脉冲网国家沙门氏菌脉冲场凝胶电泳图谱数据库中的301株分离株相比，呈现出独特的模式。这是第一份描述蓝黄金刚鹦鹉沙门氏菌病致命病例的报告。
