Abstract
From 1964 to 1967, 6,646 monkeys, representing 10 primate species, were examined for
Shigella
and
Salmonella
infections upon arrival at the National Center for Primate Biology. Of these animals, 12% were infected with
Shigella
, and 75% of the
Shigella
isolates were
S. flexneri
4. The incidence of
Salmonella
infections decreased from 12 to 3% during the period of study. Epidemiological studies of animals in the colony for 90 days or more indicated no seasonal variation in the occurrence of
Shigella
and
Salmonella
. Many of the isolates from incoming monkeys as well as from laboratory-conditioned animals were resistant to chloramphenicol, dihydrostreptomycin, and tetracycline. The possible operation of drug-resistance factors in these infections is discussed.
