“…The difference in isolation rates may be due to the fact that rectal swabs of live dogs were taken from the pound whereas Ojo (1994) sampled the dry intestinal contents of dead dogs which would have been detrimental to the survival of the pathogen. Results of the present study however compare favourably with prevalences ranging from 7.8 to 15.8% reported elsewhere (McElrath et al., 1952; Khan, 1970; Shimi et al., 1976).…”

The estimated prevalence and antimicrobial resistances of Salmonella spp. in non-diarrhoeic dogs across Trinidad was determined. The serotypes of Salmonella spp. isolated were also identified. Of a total of 1391 dogs sampled, 50 (3.6%) were positive for Salmonella spp. with 28 different serotypes, the predominant serotypes were Javiana (12), Newport (6), Arechavaleta (5) and Heidelberg (5). Fifty-seven (85.1%) of 67 isolates exhibited resistance to one or more antimicrobial agents. Of eight antimicrobial agents tested, resistance was exhibited to streptomycin (80.6%), cephalothin (37.3%), neomycin (38.8%) and gentamicin (9.0%). All isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, norfloxacin, choramphenicol and sulphamethoxazole/trimethoprim. It was concluded that the isolation of the Salmonella spp. from non-diarrhoeic dogs could pose health hazard to their owners as most serotypes are known to be virulent. Furthermore, the prevalence of resistance to antimicrobial agents amongst the Salmonella isolates from these animals indicates susceptibility testing may influence chemotherapeutic choices when treating these isolates.

“…Salmonella excretion rates for asymptomatic dogs ranged from 0 to 43%. Faecal samples from dogs in boarding kennels, dog pounds and veterinary hospitals occasionally yielded more than one serovar from a single sample, four serovars being isolated in one instance (McElrath et al, 1952). Generally, there was a lower excretion rate in household pet dogs, compared with those confined to kennels.…”

Salmonellosis occurs worldwide in dogs and cats and is of clinical and public-health importance. Infections in these animals are usually asymptomatic, with intermittent excretion of Salmonella in faeces. Clinical syndromes, which are comparatively uncommon, are often most severe in young or debilitated animals. These syndromes include enterocolitis, septicaemia and, rarely, abortions. Conjunctivitis has been reported in cats. Outbreaks of salmonellosis have occurred in veterinary hospitals, where predisposing factors, such as immunosuppressive therapy or major surgery, can precipitate disease in a carrier animal. The significance and extent of the carrier-excreter state in dogs and cats was perhaps not fully realized until the early 1950s, when surveys of apparently healthy animals were conducted. One of the earliest comprehensive reviews of Salmonella infections in animals was by Buxton (1957), who documented the occurrence of the organisms in cats and dogs.
