[Bacterial and fungal digestive flora of herring gulls (Larus argentatus) in the Camargue].
The bacterial and fungal digestive flora of herring gulls (Larus argentatus michahellis) has been studied in Camargue, France. Of 107 cloacal swab samples, one was found to contain Salmonellae. The incidence of Escherichia coli and faecal Streptococcus was sufficiently high to suggest that greater attention should be paid to the environmental impact of this gull species.
