The investigation conducted on 329 toads for the presence of Salmonella, Arizona and Edwardsiella revealed that 36.7% toads were intestinal carriers of Salmonella. None of the toads proved positive for Arizona and Edwardsiella. The Salmonella population (S. brijbhumi) in the intestines of 5 of the 27 toads ranged from 1.5 X 10(9) to 2.5 X 10(10) organisms per gram of faecal matter. Some of the serotypes viz: S. tel-hashomer, S. brijbhumi and S. goverdhan were recovered more frequently than others. An unnamed serotype (4, 12, 27:k:-) and S. goverdhan var 1 + (1,9,12:k:1,6), hitherto undescribed in the literature, have also been reported.
对329只蟾蜍进行沙门氏菌、亚利桑那菌和爱德华氏菌检测，结果显示36.7%的蟾蜍为沙门氏菌肠道携带者。未发现蟾蜍感染亚利桑那菌和爱德华氏菌呈阳性。27只蟾蜍中有5只肠道内的沙门氏菌（布里布胡米沙门氏菌）数量为每克粪便1.5×10⁹至2.5×10¹⁰个菌体。某些血清型，即特尔-哈肖默沙门氏菌、布里布胡米沙门氏菌和戈瓦尔丹沙门氏菌的检出频率高于其他血清型。文献中尚未描述的一种未命名血清型（4, 12, 27:k:-）和戈瓦尔丹沙门氏菌变种1 +（1,9,12:k:1,6）也有报告。
