Salmonellosis in Equidae is a serious global problem. The prevalence may range from 0.36% to 27%. Probably 5% to 10% of the equine population in the U.S. is or has been infected. Over 40 serotypes of Salmonella have been cultured from Equidae. S. typhimurium (66.31%), S. enteritidis (9.6%), S. newport (5.16%) and S. heidelberg (4.89%) have been the most common equine isolates. The clinical and bacteriological studies of 23 naturally occurring infections in a large veterinary hospital were studied. Nine patients were infected with S. typhimurium, 8 with S. anatum, 1 with S. newport, 4 with dual serotype infections (3-S. typhimurium/S. anatum and 1 S. anatum/S. newington) and 1 untyped Salmonella. The roles of physical, surgical and environmental stress factors were analyzed. The fecal shedder state persisted for over 3 1/2 months. Feces of a foal contained 10(5) salmonella per gram. Salmonella were isolated from the feces of horses during and following antimicrobial therapy regimes. Supportive and symptomatic treatment as well as good nursing care are imperative in handling cases of equine salmonellosis.
马属动物沙门氏菌病是一个严重的全球性问题。其患病率可能在0.36%至27%之间。在美国，可能有5%至10%的马属动物正在或曾经受到感染。已从马属动物中培养出40多种沙门氏菌血清型。鼠伤寒沙门氏菌（66.31%）、肠炎沙门氏菌（9.6%）、纽波特沙门氏菌（5.16%）和海德堡沙门氏菌（4.89%）是最常见的马属动物分离株。对一家大型兽医医院的23例自然发生感染病例进行了临床和细菌学研究。9例患者感染了鼠伤寒沙门氏菌，8例感染了鸭沙门氏菌，1例感染了纽波特沙门氏菌，4例为双重血清型感染（3例为鼠伤寒沙门氏菌/鸭沙门氏菌，1例为鸭沙门氏菌/纽因顿沙门氏菌），还有1例未分型沙门氏菌。分析了身体、手术和环境应激因素的作用。粪便排菌状态持续了3个半月以上。一匹幼驹的粪便每克含有10⁵个沙门氏菌。在抗菌治疗期间及之后，从马的粪便中分离出了沙门氏菌。在处理马属动物沙门氏菌病病例时，支持性和对症治疗以及良好的护理至关重要。
