During an 8-year period (1970-1977), 24 strains of Salmonella spp. were isolated in 24 renal transplant recipients. In 19 cases (79%) the infection had an unusual presentation (extradigestive focus or bacteraemia), and 15 of the offending strains belonged to the serotype typhimurium. During the same period 161 strains of Salmonella spp. were isolated in 159 adult patients admitted to units other than the renal transplantation unit; 52% of the infections presented as gastroenteritis, and S. typhimurium accounted for only 25% of unusual presentations. However, the lysotypes and biotypes of S. typhimurium were as diverse in the renal transplantation unit as in other hospital units. The study failed to demonstrate interhuman transmission of Salmonella spp. within the renal transplantation unit.
在8年期间（1970 - 1977年），从24例肾移植受者中分离出24株沙门氏菌属菌株。19例（79%）感染有不寻常的表现（消化道外病灶或菌血症），其中15株致病菌株属于鼠伤寒血清型。同期，在入住肾移植科以外科室的159例成年患者中分离出161株沙门氏菌属菌株；52%的感染表现为胃肠炎，鼠伤寒沙门氏菌仅占不寻常表现的25%。然而，鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的溶菌型和生物型在肾移植科与其他医院科室一样多样。该研究未能证明肾移植科内沙门氏菌属的人际传播。
