Summary:<\/span>
Reptiles are well-known reservoirs of Salmonella spp. and cases of reptile- associated salmonellosis (RAS) are increasing since reptiles are becoming more popular as pets. In the present study, the presence, distribution and prevalence of serovars of Salmonella was investigated in captive snakes (n = 87) and in free- living snakes (n = 87) in Germany. A total of 43 S. enterica-isolates were recovered from organ samples and cloacal swabs, predominantly belonging to the subspecies diarizonae (IIIb) (n = 27), enterica (I) (n = 7) and houtenae (IV) (n = 6). S. enterica subsp. enterica (I) serovar Paratyphi B (n = 4) and S. enterica subsp. diarizonae (IIIb) serovar 47:l,v:z (n = 3) were the most frequently isolated serotypes. Nevertheless, the fact that most serotypes were only represented by a single isolate points out the high diversity of Salmonella present among snakes. Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae (IIIb) serotype 40:i:z53, which was isolated twice from two free-living Eurasian adders (Vipera berus) captured at different locations, has not been previously described. Our results confirm the role of both free-living and captive snakes as reservoirs of S. enterica in Germany.

Reptilien sind bekannte Reservoire von Salmonella spp. F\u00e4lle von Reptilien-assoziierten Salmonellosen (RAS) nehmen zu, seit Reptilien als Haustiere immer beliebter werden. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde Vorkommen, Verbreitung und H\u00e4ufigkeit der Serovare von Salmonellen bei in Gefangenschaft gehaltenen Schlangen (n = 87) und freilebende Schlangen (n = 87) in Deutschland untersucht. Insgesamt wurden 43 S. enteric a-Isolate aus Organproben und Kloakenastrichen nachgewiesen, \u00fcberwiegend aus der Unterart bdiarizonae (IIIb) (n = 27), enterica (I) (n = 7) und houtenae (IV) (n = 6). S. enterica subsp. enterica (I) Serovar Paratyphi B (n = 4) und S. enterica subsp. diarizonae (IIIb) Serovar 47:l,v:z (n = 3) waren die am h\u00e4ufigsten isolierten Serotypen. Die Tatsache, dass die meisten Serotypen nur einmalig isoliert wurden, weist auf die gro\u00dfe Vielfalt von Salmonellen in Schlangen hin. Salmonella enterica subsp. diarizonae (IIIb) Serotyp 40:i:Z53 wurde zweimal von zwei freilebenden Kreuzottern (Vipera berus) aus verschiedenen Regionen isoliert und wurde bisher nicht beschrieben. Unsere Ergebnisse best\u00e4tigen die Rolle sowohl von freilebenden als auch von in Gefangenschaft gehaltenen Schlangen als Reservoir f\u00fcr S. enterica in Deutschland.
