Abstract: Species of tegu (Tupinambis) are the largest lizards in South America. Large numbers of these lizards are hunted; there is a vigorous trade in their skins and the meat is consumed by rural and native peoples. The animals are also bred in captivity, an economic activity for rural populations which can help in the animals' conservation. Faecal samples from 30 captive-born tegus were analysed for the presence of Salmonella in two separate samplings. In the first analysis, samples from 26 animals (87%) yielded Sal… Show more

“…Serovar Rubislaw, which was as common as S. Javiana in the present study, has been previously isolated from cane toads in Grenada (Everard et al, 1979), more recently from tegu lizards in Brazil (Maciel et al, 2010) and from fish-eating bats in Trinidad (Adesiyun et al, 2009). However, in the United States, S. Rubislaw was isolated from a citrus-processing facility in Florida, from amphibians outside the facility, and from clinical human cases linked to contaminated citrus juice (Parish, 1998).…”

“…The serovar Salmonella enterica Panama was first described in Tupinambis merianae by Maciel et al (2010). They also found the serovars S. enterica Rubislaw, S. enterica Kids, S. enterica Carrau, S. enterica Agona, S. enterica Saintpaul, S. enterica Brandenburg, which we did not identify.…”

“…In our study, the high prevalence of resistance to sulfisoxazole was not surprising, as other studies have commonly detected sulfonamide resistance (Corrente et al 2004;Ebani et al 2005;Zhao et al, 2005). We detected a high prevalence of decreased susceptibility to chloramphenicol, which has been reported to be common among some studies of reptile isolates (MacNiel et al 2010), and rare among others (Ebani et al 2005;Chen et al 2010). The use of amphenicols is relatively high in Indonesia; chloramphenicol and thiamphenicol represent 6% of courses taken by adults and 12% by children (Hadi et al 2008), compared to their limited use in most developed nations due to resistance and health risks.…”
