title: Canine salmonellosis: A review and report of dog to child transmission of Salmonella enteritidis.
abstract: Dogs have been shown to harbor 53 salmonellae serotypes. Multiple simultaneous infections with 2  to 4 serotypes have been observed. The prevalence of canine salmonellosis may be a high as 27 per cent. Salmonella typhimurium and S. anatum are the most common etiologic agents. Dogs commonly experience a sub-clinical course of salmonellosis. Some investigators state that the dog may serve as a source of human infections. A few reports in the literature have documented this fact. The transmissions of S. enteritidis from dog to child is described in this article.
