Project Summary/Abstract Salmonella accounts for an estimated 1.4 million illnesses, resulting in 16,000 hospitalizations, and 582 deaths in the United States each year. The incidence of salmonellosis within the U.S. differs from state to state and in state. These differences cannot be explained entirely by differences in population density, cultural/ethnic customs, or food-distribution networks. These regional differences in disease incidence are also reflected in Salmonella serovar distribution. We do not know or understand what might explain this geographic scattering of Salmonella infection in the U.S. Part of the answer lies in identifying alternate reservoirs, such as pets. A better understanding of the transmission dynamics of Salmonella in pets will helps us understand the role of these unique companions, in the distribution dynamics of Salmonella and human illnesses. This proposal explores the role that the food sources of our pets, their lifestyle, human culture, and geographic region may have on the distribution of Salmonella serovars and strains in companion animals and ultimately in cases of human sporadic salmonellosis. We propose to do this by culturing fecal samples from symptomatic and asymptomatic dogs across GA. We will determine prevalence of Salmonella both in healthy and sick pets. Salmonella serovars and strains will be then typed and analyzed to determine if any correlations exists which the geographical location of the pets home, their lifestyle or any other characteristic present in our questionnaire.

项目摘要/摘要 沙门氏菌估计有140万疾病，导致16,000 每年美国的住院和582例死亡。发病率 美国境内的沙门氏菌病在各州和州方面有所不同。这些差异 不能完全通过人口密度，文化/种族的差异来解释 海关或食品分布网络。这些区域疾病发病率差异 也反映在沙门氏菌血清分布中。我们不知道或不了解什么 可能解释了美国沙门氏菌感染的地理散射 答案在于确定替代储层，例如宠物。更好地理解 宠物中沙门氏菌的传播动态将有助于我们了解 这些独特的同伴，在沙门氏菌和人类的分布动力学中 疾病。该建议探讨了我们宠物的食物来源，他们的生活方式， 人类文化和地理区域可能具有沙门氏菌的分布 伴侣动物中的血清射击和菌株，最终在人类零星的情况下 沙门氏菌病。我们建议通过从症状和 无症状的狗横跨GA。我们将确定沙门氏菌的患病率 健康和生病的宠物。然后将键入和分析沙门氏菌血清射击和菌株 为了确定宠物家的地理位置是否存在任何相关性， 他们的生活方式或我们问卷中存在的任何其他特征。
