  • Title: [Neonatal infection with Salmonella apapa after contact with a reptile in the home].
    Author: Haase R, Beier T, Bernstädt M, Merkel N, Bartnicki J.
    Journal: Z Geburtshilfe Neonatol; 2011 Apr; 215(2):86-8. PubMed ID: 21541908.
    Abstract:
    Salmonella apapa is transmitted by reptiles, e.g., bearded dragons. To date only few cases of S. apapa-related human infections have been reported. Because the bacteria are transmitted through the feces of animals or direct contact with low infection doses, infection in early infancy is possible. We report an 18-day-old newborn with sepsis caused by Salmonella apapa. Salmonella apapa was isolated from the feces of a bearded dragon living along with the family.
