Abstract
Actually more than 2500 serovars of Salmonella are known, but a small number is associated with reptiles from the suborder Ophidia. Apparently, bacteria from the genus Salmonella are component of the normal intestinal microbial community, and in case of immunosupression they become pathogens for the carrier hosts. In the reptile medicine due to the Salmonella infection there are described the following entities: septicemias, subcutaneous abscess, gastritis, gastroenteritis, stomatitis. The etiological agent of these morbid entities belongs to the serovars S. tiphymurium, S. regent, S. marina, S. arizonae. Four case of stomatitis was described at captive autochthon Vipera species (Vipera berus and Vipera ammodytes). In course of the clinical examination, the animals showed localized or generalized hemorrhagic stomatitis. The lesions were surgically cleaned and samples were collected for further microbiological examination. Using API 20E Salmonella arizonae was identified as casual agent of infections
