Abstract

Gulls are a group of seabirds distributed worldwide that are an important reservoir of Salmonella spp. Salmonellosis is the second most commonly reported gastrointestinal infection in humans, and understanding the role wild birds have in spreading Salmonella can help to improve the health of humans and domestic animals. The mobility and migration capacity of gulls makes them an interesting group for research given their potential role in spreading pathogens. This paper presents the diversity and prevalence of Salmonella spp. in different gull species caught at a landfill in Zagreb in the winter months over a nine-year period from 2014-2022. In total, 1083 cloacal swabs were sampled from six gull species: Black-headed Gull (Larus ridibundus), Yellow-legged Gull (L. michahellis), Caspian Gull (L. cachinnans), Common Gull (L. canus), Lesser Black-back Gull (L. fuscus) and Herring Gull (L. argentatus). The prevalence of Salmonella was 5.82%, and 16 Salmonella serotypes were identified; S. Typhimurium had the highest prevalence (47.62%) followed by S. Enteritidis (12.69%) and S. Infantis (9.52%). To date, 82 Salmonella serotypes have been isolated in research on gulls in Europe, with S. Typhimurium as the most common, followed by S. Agona and S. Enteritidis. In this study, we found three serotypes not previously reported in gulls, S. Yalding, S. Reading and one with the antigenic formula O:17; H:z10; H:e,n,x,z15 (IIIb).

克罗地亚萨格勒布垃圾填埋场捕获的海鸥中沙门氏菌的多样性和流行率

海鸥是分布在世界各地的一群海鸟，是沙门氏菌的重要宿主。沙门氏菌病是人类第二常见的胃肠道感染，了解野生鸟类在传播沙门氏菌方面的作用有助于改善人类和家畜的健康。海鸥的机动性和迁徙能力使其成为一个有趣的研究群体，因为它们在传播病原体方面具有潜在作用。本文介绍了2014年至2022年九年期间，萨格勒布垃圾填埋场冬季捕获的不同海鸥中沙门氏菌的多样性和流行率。总共从六种海鸥中采集了1083个泄殖腔拭子：黑头海鸥（Larus ridibundus）、黄腿海鸥（L.michahellis）、里海海鸥（L.cachinnans）、普通海鸥（L.canus）、小黑背海鸥（L.fuscus）和鲱鱼海鸥（L.argentatus）。沙门氏菌的患病率为5.82%，共鉴定出16种沙门氏菌血清型；鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的患病率最高（47.62%），其次是肠炎沙门氏菌（12.69%）和因凡特氏菌（9.52%）。迄今为止，在欧洲对海鸥的研究中已分离出82种沙门氏菌血清型，其中鼠伤寒沙门氏菌最常见，其次是阿戈纳沙门氏菌和肠炎沙门氏杆菌。在这项研究中，我们发现了三种以前没有在海鸥中报道过的血清型，即雅尔丁S.Yalding、雷丁S.Reading和一种抗原式为O:17的血清型；H： z10；H： e，n，x，z15（IIIb）。
