The presence of salmonellae in the pet shop environment, fishes, aquarium water, and in a variety of commercially prepared and natural fish foods was determined. Salmonellosis attributed to turtles purchased from pet shops has been responsible for an estimated 280,000 human cases annually in the United States. The possibility that aquarium fishes, or their food and aquatic habitat might also serve as sources of human salmonellosis was deemed worthy of clarification. Results of the present survey indicate that this is probably not correct, and a public health hazarddoes not exist.
对宠物店环境、鱼类、水族箱水以及各种商业制备和天然鱼食中沙门氏菌的存在情况进行了测定。在美国，每年估计有28万例人类沙门氏菌病病例是由从宠物店购买的乌龟引起的。水族箱鱼类及其食物和水生栖息地也可能成为人类沙门氏菌病来源的可能性被认为值得澄清。本次调查结果表明情况可能并非如此，不存在公共卫生危害。
