An investigation of Salmonella Fluntern illnesses linked to leopard geckos-United States, 2018

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Reptile contact can result in zoonotic non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS). In April 2018, Oregon Public Health Division contacted CDC about a cluster of four Salmonella serovar Fluntern (SF) illnesses in four states; patients reported contact with geckos, a popular reptile pet. PulseNet, the national molecular subtyping network of foodborne disease surveillance, subsequently identified additional SF clinical isolates. Twelve cases in 11 states were identified; median age was 5 years (range: <1–58 years). Three patients were hospitalized; no deaths were reported. Of those with exposure information (n=10), all reported reptile exposure; 9 (90%) specified contact with leopard geckos. No common source of geckos was identified from reported purchase locations. Five countries responded to an Epidemic Intelligence Information System (EPIS) post by PulseNet; reptile isolate sequence data was received from Czech Republic. A clinical case from England was identified through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) pathogen detection pipeline; the patient did not report contact with leopard geckos. Whole genome sequencing analysis revealed substantial genetic diversity between clinical and animal isolates; however, gecko and clinical isolates from LAC were highly related (1 allele difference). This investigation linking SF illnesses to leopard geckos highlights an important public health risk from pets. Past gecko isolates suggest potential for transmission of SF from geckos to humans has existed for several years. This investigation demonstrates a need to educate gecko breeders, retailers, and gecko owners about the continued Salmonella infection risk from pets.
