Abstract: Dogs have been shown to harbor 53 salmonellae serotypes. Multiple simultaneous infections with 2 to 4 serotypes have been observed. The prevalence of canine salmonellosis may be as high as 27 percent. Salmonella typhimurium and S. anatum are the most common etiologic agents. Dogs commonly experience a sub clinical course of salmonellosis. Some investigators state that the dog may serve as a source of human infections. A few reports in the literature have documented this fact. The transmission of S. enteriditis from dog to child is described in this article.
