“…Several human salmonellosis cases have been associated to contact to reptiles [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. In humans, non-typhoidal Salmonella may induce enteric forms characterized by fever, vomiting, and diarrhea [ 25 ], but also extraintestinal forms [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ] depending on the serovar involved. Differently, Salmonella seems to be adapted to reptiles, causing prevalently asymptomatic infections [ 30 ], while disease and death occasionally occur [ 31 ].…”

Monitoring of infections that may be transmitted to humans by animals in wildlife rescue centres is very important in order to protect the staff engaged in rehabilitation practices. Salmonella may be a natural inhabitant of the intestinal tract of turtles, rarely causing disease. This may represent a potential risk for humans, increasing the sanitary risk for operators in wildlife rescue centres. In this paper, the occurrence of non-typhoidal Salmonella among terrestrial turtles housed in a wildlife rescue centre in Southern Italy was investigated, in order to assess the serovars more frequently carried by turtles and identify those that may represent a risk for operators involved in wildlife management. Sixty-nine adult turtles (Testudo hermanni hermanni, T. h. boettgeri, T. graeca, and T. marginata) were tested. Detection and serotyping of Salmonella strains were performed according to ISO 6579-1 and ISO/TR 6579-3:2013, respectively. The distribution of Salmonella spp. was significantly higher in T. hermanni hermanni than in other species, independent of the age and gender of the animals. Two different Salmonella species, S. enterica and S. bongori, three S. enterica subspecies (enterica, diarizonae, salamae), and five different serovars (Hermannswerder, Abony, Ferruch, Richmond, Vancouver) within the group S. enterica subspecies enterica were identified. Different combinations of Salmonella types were simultaneously found in specimens of T. h. hermanni. Most of detected Salmonella types may represent a potential risk for public health. Adopting correct animal husbandry procedures and informing on potential sanitary risks may be useful for minimising the risk of transmission of Salmonella to workers involved in wildlife management.

Non-typhoid Salmonella gastroenteritis is one of the most common forms of intestinal infections among the population of developed countries and generalized forms of infection are rare. We present a case of 67-year-old woman with salmonaella sepsis, deep venous thrombosis, and septic thromboembolism of pulmonary artery complicated with development of necrotizing pneumonia. Generalization of the infectious process was mediated by the presence of polymorphisms in the TLR4 gene. Development of pulmonary infarction is infrequent. Even rarer is a formation of cavities in infarcted lung tissue, usually in the background of the infectious disease. A combination of 2 rare conditions in 1 patient demonstrates the need of multidisciplinary approach in treatment of severe and atypical forms of infectious diseases to evaluate the primary etiology of such state. The article will discuss various aspects of lung tissue damage caused by Salmonella and give a brief overview of the literature on this topic.
