title: [Etiological studies of salmonellosis in swine].
abstract: A total of 25,114 samples taken from fetuses, pigs, adult swine, feces, environmental objects, etc. in 6 regions of this country were studied bacteriologically in 1976-1980, and in 1970-1975 a retrospective analysis was made of data of investigations with pigs in the same regions. The sample study led to the isolation of 1,495 strains of 21 Salmonella species of the B, C, D, and E groups. At the same time 9 Salmonella species were isolated from pigs, while during the second period the number of the isolated Salmonella spp. was 16. It was found that the strains belonging to S. cholerae-suis were highest in number (87.61 per cent of all isolated strains), whereupon beside the autochtonic var. kunzendorf there were also findings of var. america. By frequency of isolation the ubiquitous S. typhi-murium ranked four as isolated from pigs, and washings from environmental objects as well as from sewage water, rats, and common flies. Of the exotic Salmonella species more important proved S. agona, S. jerusalem var. 14, S. tennessee, and others. Considerable diversity was established with the Salmonella species in pigs on the industrial complexes (17 spp.), the farms of the Agro-Industrial and the Industrial Agrarian Complexes (8 spp.), and on some other farms (5 spp.). Only two species of Salmonellae were found in pigs on the private farms, and one species--on the auxilliary farms.
