    Salmonella typhimurium caused conjunctivitis in a cat, with intestinal infections found in two cats. Antibiotic-resistant Salmonella strains were identified and transferable to E. coli.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Microbiology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Salmonella typhimurium is a recognized pathogen in both animals and humans.
    • Ocular infections in cats are less commonly documented, particularly those associated with Salmonella.

    Observation:

    • An adult female cat presented with conjunctivitis, characterized by epiphora and blepharospasm.
    • Intestinal Salmonella typhimurium was detected in the affected cat and another cat from the same commercial source.
    • Three Salmonella isolates exhibited resistance to multiple antibiotics, including ampicillin, cephaloridine, cephalothin, streptomycin, triple sulfonamides, and tetracycline.

    Findings:

    • The Salmonella isolates were capable of transferring antibiotic resistance patterns to Escherichia coli K-12.

  • Therapy with chloramphenicol for 10 days was ineffective in eliminating Salmonella from the conjunctiva or fecal flora of the infected cats.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for Salmonella typhimurium to cause conjunctivitis in cats.
    • The presence of transferable antibiotic resistance in these isolates raises concerns for public health and veterinary antimicrobial stewardship.
    • Further investigation into the transmission dynamics and effective treatment of Salmonella-associated ocular infections in cats is warranted.
