the Salmonella outbreak in Norway --"
The samples are completely genome-sequenced and show the same genotype. The same genotype of S. Enteritidis has also been found in a sample from a snake that the Veterinary Institute has analyzed.


Those who have snakes, or other reptiles as a hobby or pet, should take extra precautions and always wash their hands after handling and feeding the animals to avoid getting sick with salmonellosis.

Good reminder to handle feeder rodents carefully as well as reptiles.
