- Abstract
Salmonellosis due to Salmonella Give involving cows, a goat, and an ostrich over a 6-month period was investigated. Cases were found in 4 different regions. Antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, phagetyping, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses confirmed that all isolates belonged to the same clone. A common source of infection was suspected.
