Increasing evidence indicates that freshwater fishes may be naturally and experimentally infected with Salmonella and may harbor the pathogen for more than 100 days. The effects upon the pathogenicity of various serotypes for white mice following residence in freshwater fishes was evaluated. Virulence patterns of serotypes cultured from fish were compared with the same serotypes cultured from man and lower animals. LD50 and ID50 values for the respective isolates were ascertained following intraperitoneal injection of mice. With the exception of 1 strain of S. typhimurium, var. Copenhagen (a smooth (S) phase culture, which rapidly mutated to the rough (R) state) there was no evidence of attenuation or loss of virulence of the sero-types. Results of the study indicate that residence or colonization in poikilotherms has no marked effect on pathogenicity for homoeio-thermic hosts. |
