[en] Human transmission of Salmonella enterica from new companion animals is usually suspected even though very few data according Salmonella infections in these animal species are available. The prevalence of Salmonella enterica infections in the digestive tract of 450 new companion animals ( 45 ferrets, 7 birds, 308 rodents, 82 rabbits and 8 reptiles) coming from pet shops or individual owners was determined by bacteriological examinations of anal swabs or pooled fresh faeces. Only one Salmonella Enteritidis strain was isolated from a ferret in a pet shop. The symptomatic or asymptomatic Salmonella carriage in ferrets, rodents and rabbits is thus not as frequent as what was suspected.
