[[Lizard and Snake Zoonoses|WikiVet Article: Lizard and Snake Zoonoses]]."
 +
feedback5="'''Correct!''' Subclinical infections of reptiles are common and the Salmonella spp. can often be isolated from faeces. However, most reptiles naturally carry these bacteria as a component of their indigenous gut flora, and they are rarely a cause of primary disease. Shedding of salmonella organisms can be intermittent and therefore all reptiles should be considered positive and managed appropriately, regardless of fecal culture results.
