Fecal samples corresponding to 27 species of animals in captivity in the Mendoza Zoo (Argentina) were collected, in order to find asymptomatic carriers of Salmonella. The fecal samples obtained with swabs were seeded in Müller-Kauffmann base tetrathionate and incubated at 43 °C in a water bath for 24 h. Then, aliquots of this medium were seeded on xylose-lysine-deoxycholate agar and, finally, formed colonies were identified using conventional biochemical tests. As a result, Salmonella serovar Meleagridis was isolated from a polar bear and Salmonella serovar Give from a brown bear and a carayá monkey samples. Both serovars are associated with cases of salmonellosis in humans.
