A total of 80 Russian tortoises brought in Poland were examined for presence of Salmonella. Salmonella was detected in 15 out of all the animals tested (18.75%). Of the total of 56 strains, 30 (53.57%) belonged to Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (I) and 26 to Salmonella enterica subsp. salamae (II). The predominant serotype within subspecies I was S. Newport, which is one of the most serotypes causing salmonellosis in humans and warm-blooded animals. In vitro determination of the susceptibility of Salmonella to the 10 medicinal preparations showed that all tested strains were sensitive to norfloxacin, sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim, florfenicol, gentamicin, tetracycline and ampicillin, resistance was noted only to amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (12 strains), and intermediate sensitivity to colistin (7 strains), enrofloxacin (2 strains) and cephalexin (5 strains). These studies confirmed that Russian tortoises are a significant reservoir for Salmonella and may represent a potential source of infection for humans.
总共对从波兰引入的 80 只俄罗斯陆龟进行了检查，以确定是否存在沙门氏菌。在所有接受测试的动物中，有 15 只（18.75%）检测到沙门氏菌。在总共 56 株菌中，有 30 株（53.57%）属于肠道沙门氏菌亚种肠道（I），26 株属于肠道沙门氏菌亚种沙门氏菌（II）。在 I 亚种中，主要血清型为纽波特沙门氏菌，它是引起人类和温血动物沙门氏菌病的最常见血清型之一。对沙门氏菌对 10 种药物制剂的体外敏感性测定表明，所有测试菌株均对诺氟沙星、复方磺胺甲噁唑、氟苯尼考、庆大霉素、四环素和氨苄西林敏感，仅对阿莫西林克拉维酸（12 株）、多粘菌素（7 株）、恩诺沙星（2 株）和头孢氨苄（5 株）有耐药性，对中介敏感性。这些研究证实，俄罗斯陆龟是沙门氏菌的重要宿主，可能是人类感染的潜在来源。
