Abstract
Extract
Salmonella newington was first isolated by Rettger from ducklings in Connecticut and identified by Edwards (Citation1937) It was subsequently isolated from chickens and turkeys in the United States by Edwards (Citation1939); from the mesenteric lymph nodes of normal pigs in Uruguay (Hormaeche and Salsamendi, Citation1939), and also in the United States (Rubin etal., Citation1942); from silver foxes in the United States? (Benedict et al., Citation1941); from three cases of gastro-enteritis in man in the United States and from sewage (Bornstein and Saphra, Citation1942) ; and from imported spray-dried egg in Great Britain (Topley and Wilson, Citation1945). Lindberg and Bayliss (Citation1946) encountered the organism on three occasions among 202 Salmonella cultures isolated from military and civilian personnel throughout the islands of the Pacific Ocean, while from a study of 7,365 out-breaks of Salmonella in the United States, Edwards, Bruner, and Moran (Citation1948) have recorded 60 out-breaks due to S. newington. Of these, 40 occurred in turkeys. 6 in chickens, 2 in ducks, 3 in swine, 1 in rats, 8 in man, and 12 isolations were made from eggs and egg powder. In a study of 387 cultures of Salmonella isolated from man and animals, Watt and de Capito (Citation1950) made no mention of S. newington.
