Activation of latent Salmonella and Arizona organisms by dehydration of red-eared turtles, Pseudemys scripta-elegans. 1978

M W DuPonte, and R M Nakamura, and E M Chang

Salmonella and Arizona organisms could not be isolated from water samples, feces, and tissues of turtles prior to the experiment. After stressing, Salmonella organisms were isolated from tissues of 7 of 27 stressed turtles and from only 1 of 12 unstressed turtles. Arizona organisms were isolated from 9 of 36 stressed turtles whereas results for all 12 unstressed turtles were negative.

D012475 Salmonella A genus of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that utilizes citrate as a sole carbon source. It is pathogenic for humans, causing enteric fevers, gastroenteritis, and bacteremia. Food poisoning is the most common clinical manifestation. Organisms within this genus are separated on the basis of antigenic characteristics, sugar fermentation patterns, and bacteriophage susceptibility.
